Over the last couple of days, I have been passively paying attention to some of the civil rights issues surrounding the Democratic Convention. While there seemed to be a number of troubling situations, none rose to the level of setting me off.
A Few Examples:
* Many police officers not wearing any type of […]

Hey everybody -
Quick notes to those of you who wonder if we’re still alive. We’ve been dealing with camera/photograph transfer issues, I’ve been stuck with writers block in trying to catch up with all that has happened and we’ve both been seduced by the comforts of home as we spend a week here […]

So, I’m OK and the bike is OK, but I had a scary little date with the pavement a few weeks ago.

Scott and I were taking a long, straight road through Wyoming on our way to Colorado, and the sun was going down. Scott was leading, ahead of me probably by only 20 yards or […]

After leaving Sturgis, Scott and I did a little camping in the Black Hills wilderness. The Black Hills were beautiful, truly an oasis in the relatively monotonous surrounding South Dakota lands. We were a little stressed out from the Sturgis experience and looking forward to some rest and relaxation.

Two things of note happened. The first […]

It kept happening. At gas stations, at campgrounds, at restaurants, people would see the bikes and our direction of travel and ask, “You going to Sturgis?”
Our response was always different but the same vein ran throughout, and that was “We have no idea what you are talking about.” Let’s be clear- we’ve heard of the […]

One of the great blessings of this trip has been all of the friends who have been willing to host us along the way. Our sincere thanks go out to everyone who have let us invade their spaces. The further west we go, though, and the more our friend well dries up, it seems to […]

It happened again!!! Vehicular Birdslaughter in the First Degree! This time I ran over the poor guy. Oh The Humanity!

Scott and I have a lot of catching up to do. We’ve been through a lot over the past couple weeks and haven’t had as much chance to share as we would like. Luckily we’re taking a little break in Denver to recharge the batteries, so I’m going to try and tell as many stories […]

We’re leaving the Black Hills and heading south for Colorado. Pictures are posted for the last week or so.

One of the big appeals of owning a motorcycle, especially a Harley, is that loud, chugging noise that the engine makes when you rev it up. People actually modify their bikes to make them noisier.
I can not stand that shit. There’s nothing wrong wth enjoying the sound of your machine, but I just can’t understand […]

Speaking of our traffic, every once in a while Scott and I hear from friends about someone who follows the blog who we never would have expected. Every time we hear that someone’s cousin or a person we haven’t talked to in 5 years is reading we get really excited. So I just want to […]

Was looking through the site stats today and noticed two things. The first was that our site traffic is much higher than usual. Since the “usual” is random search engine crawlers and automated bots, the increase must mean that real humans are now reading- yay!
Of course, we have to take the good with the bad. […]
