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.

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 …

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 …

Totally Called It!

Calm Before the Storm That was a fuckin' hoot! Got to return to a camp I used to love as a kid and it was still spectacular and empty, hung out with my best buddy in the whole wide world in Kalamity Flats, made a new friend at a coffee shop in Lakeview, tripped my …

Ooooooooooweeeeeeee!

Alvord Time Say that in your best Mr. Poopybutthole voice and that how this trip has been so far. If you don’t get the above reference, the interwebs can enlighten you. This is just a little check in mid-ride. Gerber This trip has been the bee’s knees! Had a great time in KF visiting friends …

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 …

Gettin’ the F Out of Here

Taz all loaded up. So, the weather is getting nice here soon, I've got some free time from work and I really want to head out into the desert and rally this thing around and see what it can do with a load. Wednesday, I'm heading into the boonies for 5 days with no other …

Why, Howdy!

Naked Bike? Of the many world changing effects brought about by a random person in China eating under-cooked bats, this blog getting some attention is the most unbelievable. Or not, I'm just here to entertain myself. And you as a sweet side bonus. Since the last post, much (non-COVID-19) stuff has come to pass. Volunteering …

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 …

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 …
