Tis The Season

Right about now there is a sizable number of motorcycle riding folks doing roughly the exact same thing, prepping to head out on a big early summer trip. I am no exception. Sometime around noonish I head out for a 9-10 day solo ride that is still very lightly planned. As the BDRs are more …

Howdy, Part 3,641!

Yeah, well. Stuff got a little weird there for a while. Domain is re-registered, brain is somewhat back online, an I have yet another brand spanking new motorcycle to talk shit about. Want a slightly used well kitted out 2022 KLR 650? See ya soon. Seriously.

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 …

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 …

Ooooooooooweeeeeeee!

Having been almost a year since I've put anything up here, and having also killed all social media links, you will have to be a pretty dedicated follower or too lazy to ever unsubscribe to be exposed to this babble. Really have no idea where this is going to go so we'll be in the …

One Month In…

Stunning how fast time can fly when you live in a tent in the middle of the Utah desert 6 days a week. Turns out the one day a week in Vernal at the hotel is PLENTY. Shit in a real toilet, shower off the grime, do laundry, sleep in a bed, then get the …

Desert, Dinos and Dirt

After finally getting myself the long illusory setup of a cozy home base from which to explore, I find myself pulled from it for yet another summer away from friends, family and familiarity. It's a "same first letter triplets" kind of post, folks. Yup, got me a real job and all that and still have …

A New Adventure on the Horizon

Howdy! Well, that last trip really got the travel bug fired up and thankfully I don't have much in the way of obligations holding me back. Thus, on or around the 24th of June I'll be heading out on a 10k+ 6-8 week dual sport moto adventure across Canada and the US. This isn't going …
