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 …

That was Fun and This Next Trip’ll be Funner!

My Big Bad Desert I just can't express how stoked I am to have found motorcycles for exploring the world. Absolutely everything about it is right up my alley, even the sucky shit. No one remembers the trip that was both trouble free and exciting, because those 2 things don't exist together unless you think …

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 …

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 …

Wrapping it up in Silicon Valley

Soon, very soon. March 10th is my release date. After a year and a half in Techville it'll be time to huck most all the shit back into Mighty Whitey and make a final trek north to Bend. For all the shit talking I could do, and have done, concerning this place and my time …
