Nevada and the Big Money Rally…still scoring the points on my first rally ending in two weeks!
In an endless pursuit of the elusive bonus points for the Big Money Rally I droned a short 3 day jaunt over the somber Nevada desert. Unlike many, I adore riding through my childhood state, over the never ending straight highways that seem to lead to yet another town oddly named with legal brothels and […]
Love those Vintage Post Cards!
Sorting through an old box of ephemera, I discovered a stack of old postcards. Some of these were from my grandmother’s collection, but others were ones that I have found through the years. What made them interesting to me was not only the old colorized artwork, but searching to find if the places were still […]
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 […]
Onward to Canada, Two California Chicks Converge on Canada!
I am unsure why, but this has been the longest it has taken me to put together a ride report of a recent journey. Whether it was the thought provoking visit with my aging dementia ridden father the first day, or the fact I spent nearly every evening visiting with my riding buddy giving absolutely […]
A Week of Firsts…New Bike part 4…the final leg
Leaving Cedar City was best described as chilly at 47 degrees but I truly had no idea just how cold I was about to be. Even the GPS seemed confused wanting to take me north to Beaver before heading west and I’m sure it too was too cold to think. 😉 I combed over the […]
2011…Riding the World, my end of year slide show!
Another awesome year of motorcycling comes to an end, but there will always be next year! I do hope you enjoy seeing where I’ve been as much as I’ve enjoed going…well almost as much! 😉 Cheers and Happy Holidays to you all!!
Miles of friendship: Ride to the Southwest to see old friends–The final leg home!
Dave camped in Bluff and I continued on to Torrey, UT. My plan was to go over the Mokee Dugway and down the scenic Hwy 95 to Hanksville then into Capitol Reef NP to Torrey. The scenery on those roads is amazing. I left Bluff at 5pm and knew that riding the 200 miles to […]
Drive SANELY, after all this is Nevada! More old maps…
The old Nevada maps were a blast to peruse. The first was from 1954. Nevada 1960 … wazup with the cover photo? They couldn’t find anything better for a cover photo? I mean the Sierra Mountains are lovely but that photo is NOT. A better subject might be Pyramid Lake, Lake Tahoe, Walker Lake, Virginia […]
My Grandmother’s 1922 Moto trip–Ongoing discovery
After posting my grandmother’s photo album on my blog, I have been approached by a few people with some great advice to assist with identifying the other riders in the album and the route they possibly took crossing the Sierra Nevada Range out of Yosemite. So here’s some additional information that I recently received. My […]
