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.

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 …
