Goin’ South–A female tale from the desert of the Southwest USA Pt.5
I did have some time to ponder the situation with my dad and remember the good times moving the current horror to the back burner. My dad was a kind dad, fun, who taught us skiing, which was how he met our mom. He also taught us to ride horses, took us ghost town exploring…

Goin’ South–A female tale from the desert of the Southwest USA Pt.4
The MC B&B is awesome. Dean and Mz Pam are not only good friends but amazing hosts. Pam had just returned from a diving trip in the Caribbean but didn’t hesitate to put together a delicious peach pie! We shared travel tales as Dean listened to two crazy women laughing and enjoying each other’s company.…

Goin’ South–A female tale from the desert of the Southwest USA Pt.3
The ride to the actual Lees Ferry took me into the Glen Canyon National Recreation Area, a sparsely visited park for more serious outdoor sports enthusiasts, which in of itself is ironic, since that certainly doesn’t describe me! The Colorado River is disguised in this area as a lamb, tame and braying softly. I found…

Goin’ South–A female tale from the desert of the Southwest USA Pt.2
Ride ideas are sometimes altered. Beatty to LV was miserable, hot, straight and boring, but from LV to St. George was even worse. I believe that every bad driver in both NV and UT were on the interstate. I could hardly wait to get off onto Hwy 89 and then after a few miles of…

Goin’ South–A female tale from the desert of the Southwest USA Pt.1
Another great adventure began…one of “what comes next”, as I stood helpless watching the State of NV take my father to be evaluated. Well, I guess not helpless, as I could have gone and gathered him up and brought him to live with Gary and me, only life as we know and enjoy it would…

My new baby!!! Bandito2
I picked up Bandit2 late yesterday afternoon and put him to the test. I rode from Windsor over 128 to Spanish Flat, by accident and then onward through Winters making my way via backroads to Sacramento. A lovely inaugural ride, complete with some twistie road, a bit o’ freeway and nightfall. He preformed brilliantly!! The…

Bandito ll…am I really going to do this?
Ok…I have been thinking long and hard about a new motorbike and today Gary and I went and looked at a really sweet machine. This bike is a Bandit, of course, a 2007 with 8K miles, givi hard bags, with all the bells and whistles of the newer water cooled, non-carberated model. The only thing…

Going for Montana Floss
Kluts, who mentioned that he was riding to Montana to see his friend Gurdon (Murph), lit a fire under me. I had to go. I just had to! Following on the shirt tales of my awesome ride in Spain, I figured nothing could compare to those glorious days spent riding southern Espana, that is until…

Viajar por España – Part 4
An early start was a very difficult thing in Spain since one never eats until well past 10pm and then after walking off dinner, I found myself getting back to the motel near midnight and then I simply had to view the day’s photos. I don’t believe I ever got to bed much before 1-2…
