It’s for the gentle ladies, too! This year I will again ride in the annual Distinguished Gentleman’s Ride, raising funds and awareness for prostate cancer and men’s mental health on behalf of Movember. But like everything 2020, this will be different… this year, we’ll ride solo, together! It’s a bummer because this is one of […]

My first activist post! 🙂 Interstate 3 is a proposed highway that would run from Savannah to Knoxville via Augusta. It’s a sucky idea for many reasons, especially because it would barrel right through some of the most beautiful wild places in Georgia and North Carolina. It would also run over one of the sweetest motorcycle […]

Ah, helmets. Little in motorcycling is so simple and so controversial. A tricky subject, depending on your audience. Down here in the get-the-guvment-outta-my-business South, there is a large and vocal group of riders who believe that wearing safety equipment should be a choice. A decision left to the adult rider to make. I understand their […]

Gear is invaluable to a rider. In brief, here’s a list of a few items that I try not to leave behind when I go on a ride. Almost all can fit in your jacket pockets, and all make life more pleasant. So in no order, I give you my list of useful stuff: Chapstick […]

 In 2002, I took an amazing trip out west, from Vegas to LA and a lot of road in between, on a rented Harley Softail. I traveled for a week, alone with my thoughts. Of course it’s not only the roads, but the encounters with strangers that made it memorable.  I wrote an article […]

Last weekend was the most gorgeous weather you could wish for in August in Georgia. The puffy white clouds traveled lazily across the sky, dropping the temperature several degrees when they came between the earth and her life-giving star. I met up with my favorite riding buddies and we set off for an unhurried trek […]
