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 …

Now that I’m sure no one will ever read this…..
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 …

Being All Adult and Such
Cheers, good readers!! How's it been? As typical, much has happened since the end of the big trip. That interview I cut the trip short for paid off well. I'm 2 weeks in on being a Field GIS Tech with a sweet small engineering firm that I'll never name here. Like to keep personal and …
Home. 11,156 Miles and 7 Weeks Later
Ugh. Holy shit, it's over. For now. That was a haul unlike any other I've attempted. Trying to find words to encapsulate a trip of such size is difficult, hell, trying to grasp all that was seen and done is a lost cause. Gotta love photos and blogging for keeping track of the memories and …
A Short Breather
After 8 straight days of popping awake, grabbing a quick cup of coffee while packing, crawling into horrifically stinky riding gear and hammering down the road for 4-500 miles, it's delightful to be sitting in a Starbucks in shorts sipping coffee and typing. The northern detour part of the east/west trip was mind blowing and …
A Good Start
Why, howdy! After the initial first day clusterfuck start typical of such an undertaking, things have rolled along smoothly. Not that day 1 was terrible, just a too long day ending at a poor camping spot due to the damn sun going down. Actually saw some sweet country and got to ride some sketch Forest …

Getting it All Sorted Out
Yep, wasn't fucking around about a big summer ride. Launch date is June 23/4 with a tentative return date of 24/5 August for a memorial on the Oregon coast. 2 solid months on the road with the mighty KLR from Bend to East back to Bend via Canada. Possible longer depending on variables. Being a …
Back in the World
As hard as I tried to post form the road, it didn't really work out. I'll be throwing up a few different posts about the big trip soon. A couple about the trip, then at least one for moto/gear nerds about how all my stuff worked or didn't. It was a goddamn blast, I can …
Cupertino to Bend via Bisbee
The last day in Silicon Valley slowly winds it's way too conclusion. Got last minute shopping and pack fitting done so while I've got a little time before heading out to comedy show #2 in 2 nights figured I'd tap this out. Bill Burr was so goddamn funny last night my abs were cramping. He's …
