Finding the “Lost Coast”
I have been planning on exploring this area for almost 50 years now. It looks like this will be the year and getting there will be half the fun! One of my favorite roads in the state is Hwy 1 from Cambria to Monterey. It is a scenic and twisty tourist route, but if you… Continue reading

The longer way home!
Almost every year, in the Spring and Fall I do a motorcycle shuffle from north to south. This year, in June, I am bringing my BMW 900XR up from the San Diego area back to our home in Oregon. The most direct route would be straight up the I-5 through California and into Oregon, but… Continue reading

Bad day at Borrego!
Sounds like a western movie, right? Well, we were in the west, and we were riding along pretty well and enjoying the day, until we weren’t! It turned into a sad tale but the premise was simple, four friends getting in a moto ride in the desert. Continue reading

Bear Tooth and Lolo Pass Epic-ness
June 2023 My 1200 RT had been wintering in Southern California but it was time to bring it home to Oregon. My preferred route is to ride up the coast, but with Hwy 1 closed until at least the end of the year I saw an opportunity to explore some new riding country and reconnect… Continue reading

Portland to San Diego, Mostly the Coast
Fall 2022 Generally each year I take a ride down the coast on one of my bikes. This year the old 1200RT gets the call to ride! This bike gives great protection from the weather so when there is going to be mixed weather this is my go to bike! Continue reading

BMW MOA National Rally, Salem Oregon 2013
I have been hoping to make one of the BMW Motorcycle Owners Association’s National Rally’s for some time now. This year with the rally location conveniently located in Salem Oregon it was all too easy for us to attend! Most of my bikes are at home in Utah, but I keep a bike at our place… Continue reading
Go ahead, make my day!
There are good days and bad days in life. My personal view is that we are all given bad days occasionally that we must put up with. The good days however are most often made, not given. We should all try and make more good days!
