March 4, 2019 Ash and I just returned from a month-long motorbike trip in Ethiopia. There’s a full ride report here: ETHIOPIA RIDE REPORT. We bought a couple 200cc dualsports in Addis Ababa, and rode 2,300 miles from the southern border with Kenya to the northern border with Eritrea. It was an epic trip, and technically it’s […]

July 27, 2018 Ash and I just returned from the national BMW MOA event in Iowa. At 1,700 miles, this was the farthest we’ve ever driven for a show. Normally we fly to anything over about 1,200 miles. Flying is nearly as much of a hassle as driving though, because we can’t bring display bikes, […]
June 28, 2018 A few weeks ago, a group of us met on the Alvord Desert in Southeastern Oregon to camp, ride, and chill for a weekend. There were no fairgrounds, no group rides, no tire-changing seminars, no presentations, no vendor flags, no dualcorkers, no ride check-ins, no quiet hours, no awards, and absolutely no […]
