Riding the World…2012
Every year I like to do a culmination slide show of the year of riding. This year I was fortunate enough to have the opportunity to ride with one of my best pals, Tyler Risk. We did a 3500 mile ride up to the great Northwest and Canada in the summer, seeing some absolutely gorgeous…

A week of Firsts…New Bike, New & Old Faces, New Ride Report
The drive to SoCal to pick up the new bike was trying at best, being we got into some horrid LA traffic, not knowing any better. Friday afternoon is not a good time to take any sort of freeway travel, and here we thought we’d make up some time and ended up in what appeared…

NEW BIKE!!
I picked up the new Versys on Friday March 23 after a harrowing trip with Gary to Yucca Valley though the worst of the LA traffic on the 210, but more on that later. Here are a couple of teaser shots of the bike and us, and in the next couple of days I’ll post…
