Pig #2 My third motorcycle, second purchased new. Done done done with the Africa Twin. I've bitched enough about the issues I've had with it so will avoid retreading that ground. Suffice it to say it'll be gone by the end of the month and the new KLR will be my sole moto focus. After …

I’m someone who does a lot of adventure motorcycle and foot based adventuring around the little traveled parts of Oregon, NorCal, Nevada...let's just cut this short and say North America.
Hot and Cold
Well, warm and fucking freezing, but you get the idea. So, got the first overnight moto camp of the year in this past weekend with a run out east into the desert. As I'm an old man and generally consider the first camp of the year a potential shitshow, I decided Crane Hot Springs would …
Tis The Season
As things here in sunny south Central Oregon have been spring style since the first of the year, a few adventures have been had. Mostly car based when camping or day trips on the moto, but the worm is turning. A couple weeks ago conditions presented a great opportunity to get the Super Soob out …
A Few More Details…
Howdy! So, it was pointed out that it might be nice to actually describe what the actual issue with the bike was, all the fun I had with the dealership, and how long it took to resolve. Good point. The issue: DCT stuck in first gear and wasn't even thinking of doing anything different a …
Taz Rides Again!
Yep, It's been a while. Partly because I wanted to let my attitude towards the shop I worked with level out a bit as it was a very negative, yet very educational, experience. The fascinatingly poor capacity of a large dealership to deal competently, honestly, and reasonably with what should have been a fairly straightforward …
Update on 1150 GS Crash fellow
If any of you were waiting with baited breath to hear whatever happen to the guy in the moto crash I helped out, I got some info today. “Hey guys, An update on Gary. Just arrived home yesterday after being airlifted to Bend, from Burns. There he received multiple surgeries for 14 broken bones, including …
My, What a Busy Week!
The riding season kicked off nicely this year then fell flat on its ass. While ripping it up on OHV trails during the Crooked River Campout outside of Prineville in late March, the trusty Twin got stuck in first gear and wouldn't pop out. After getting hauled to Bend it was determined, after a long …
What…
Do you call a small pop in the upper Midwest? A Minnesota! HA!!! Just checking to see if I still know how to write, its been a while...
So Much Stuff!
Ever find yourself in the midst of a bunch of overlapping situations that all seem to be rolling in a positive manner and NOT jump in the middle of it and fuck it all up? The past 7 months have been hectic to be sure, yet I've managed to roll with all the fun, do …
The Irony…
of needing a fairly sharp knife to open your bitchin' new knife sharpener. I had the pocket sized Work Sharp tool and was impressed. During my time in K Falls this last trip, friend Tom showed me the full sized version (as above), let me use it and, damn, these are sweet. The Morakniv are …
