Back West.
Today marked the beginning of our next longer trip. As it has been a tradition, we always depart from home in the rain. Luckily, we got a reprieve this year and had decent weather after our first stop. It was good to catch up again, discuss life and its never ending...
Weather the Weather
We are less than two weeks out from our next adventure. It is worth mentioning, as few people talk about it, the weather. Motorcycling brings storms; rain, snow, lightning, wind, etc. Being prepared for them is being ahead of the game. It is more than just...

Chicago the ‘Windy (and rainy) City’
Leaving straight from work and driving north and west into what looked like a red blob of fury on the RADAR did not disappoint. The lightning coming down all around us set the stage for a dramatic entry into Chicago. From standing water on the interstate to...
Bailey and a new glide
True to what moves us. Bailey got a new bike too. 3 days after I got my Road Glide and without conversing with me whatsoever, Bailey got a Road Glide as well. Apparently great minds think alike! Rubber side down.
1,700 New Sights
I bought a new bike to kick off this riding season. I picked up a 2016 Road Glide Ultra. I've had it for about one month now. 1,700 miles later I'm still enjoying my purchase. I can't wait to get out and rack up some miles on this thing. She's a beaut, Clark.
Seasonal Inspiration
I feel like this is my go to video each spring. What could be more fun than riding bikes with your friends up a coastline? It's even better when you're Butch Walker..... The Ridebook: The Prohibition Tour from VITA BREVIS FILMS on Vimeo.
grandest of canyons
Some things are so large the human brain cannot fathom their existence. The Grand Canyon is no exception. It is so massive, it looks fake. Almost as if you are looking at a painting against the earth. Some sort of optical illusion... No wonder when Clark Griswold...
Vegas, baby!
Starting off the morning in Reno, we saw that one of the bikes parked next to ours had been tampered with. The ignition on the Victory machine had been stripped out as if somebody had attempted to 'hot-wire' it. We looked over our bikes and were relieved to not see...
Reno! 911
The best part about traveling to Reno was seeing Mount Shasta and riding through Lassen National Forest on the way. The forest was a great ride. Twisty roads, little traffic, friendly people. We met a couple who were traveling in a 'Slingshot' (three wheeled...
a Wedding, turning around, feeling complete
Today's adventure was all on hot. 103.5 degrees was what my max temp said today. We left from Vancouver and the relentless summer heat wore us into oblivion over the course of the day. We traveled west to the Pacific Coast Highway and drove south from there. We...

Halftime
Nature never rushes, yet everything gets done. ― Donald L. Hicks Today we set out on our final leg of the ride. From Bend, Oregon to Vancouver, Washington. It is truly hard to believe how many people said that I would most likely never actually ride out this far....

Landscape Changes
“Often, it’s not about becoming a new person, but becoming the person you were meant to be, and already are, but don’t know how to be.” ― Heath Buckmaster As the landscape around us changes it is hard to deny how truly far we have ridden. Looking at a map today,...
hi(gh), desert
Left from the Modern Hotel in Boise this morning and jumped on HWY 2o towards Bend, Oregon. They call it the High Desert. Once we left civilization we had 130 miles to the nearest town. No gas stations, no shops, just desert. It was a great...
people persons
As the title suggests, we are social creatures. Today we made a lot of new friends. When departing from Cody, WY a man approached us as we were loading our bikes back up. He was wearing BMW Motorrad suspenders and was roughly 60 years old. As...
a group of presidents, a devil and a big horn
Seeing as how my mom is probably the only person who actually reads my nonsense, I feel that this is a good time for me to say; "Hi mom, love you." Today was an amazing day. I'm pretty sure I had a smile the entire ride today. We started off early and rode...
speed demons and dirt riding champions
If there is one thing I have mastered, it is taking a selfie on a motorcycle at 'operating speed'. And just what that is...well.....(trail off slightly) Today we departed from Omaha and set out west. The rest of Nebraska could be summed up as 'Fun'....

Is it cold out there? #PolarRide
January 17, middle of Ohio, Interstate 71, 11:37 P.M. Gas light comes on. I've been monitoring my fuel consumption trying to hurry home. There is an ice storm blowing in from the northeast and I'm trying to beat it...
