A long strange trip (Part 4)
In case you missed it: Part 1, Part2, Part 3 With pets and luggage back on board the feckless Rees train to Cordoba, we connected with Lufthansa customer service again and received confirmation of a $2,000 refund for the Business class seats that had never materialized. Then we went for a vehicle at the Sixt counter. Figuring…

In case you missed it: Part 1, Part2 The plan going in was to fly to Frankfurt with a late morning arrival, then connect to a flight to Madrid in early afternoon, rent a van, and drive to a Madrid hotel we had booked way back in November for December 3 & 4. None of…

A long strange trip (Part 2)
In case you missed it: Part 1 In transit, from the Denver airport, then back to the Denver airport, then across the Atlantic to Frankfurt, Germany, we’ve taken almost no pictures.

A long strange trip (part 1)
How does one get from Santa Fe, New Mexico to Cordoba Spain? It’s a long long story. One that doesn’t start at the Albuquerque airport because one can’t fly with a dog and two cats from Albuquerque to somewhere else and then on to Europe. It took us 6 days in fact, to get from…

Flat Track Racing is alive and well in Sacramento!
The Sacramento Mile 2015 Dynamite article!!! My friend Walt Fulton brought this to my attention. It’s quite the well written article and Johnny, the author, holds a warm place in my heart with his pure and simple ethics. I too like a good whisky on the rocks and a finely tuned sports car.

A Miata Walkabout…CA, NV, ID, OR, WA…nope no motorcycles involved!
As I was loading the boot of the Miata, I quickly realized there really isn’t much more room than on my BMW R1200R, but weight distribution to the lowest point was now for convenience rather than solely performance. I had all the essentials for a “walkabout” including a newly found Zin that had a great…

And along came a Spyder…Tyler Risk’s Adventures!
My riding buddy Tyler Risk was a major influence on me when I first started riding 11 years ago. She had met my husband via the internet and he suggested I try to get ahold of her so I might ride with her. I did and was thrilled to meet another female rider with as…

Another BMR (Big Money Rally) comes to a close
Well, I simply didn’t have the time this year to make the most of the Big Money Rally, the only motorcycle rally I have ever ridden, but still I was able to finish the rally and even get into the “BRONZE” point values! Yippie for me!
I gained NO points for this shot. Shame…
