I recently spoke with Deborah Munies on her new “Let’s Figure It Out” podcast. Deb and I worked years ago at an advertising agency and have kept in touch over the years via Facebook. And just like I’ve drifted away from the world of marketing towards things that I find more invigorating, so has Deb, who is now a certified life coach and host of a new podcast. Deb likes talking to people that have carved out interesting careers outside of the mainstream, so we talked about my journey to motorcycle journalist and writer. I had a great time chatting… Continue reading Listen to the “Let’s Figure It Out” Podcast

The June 2018 issue of RoadRUNNER Touring and Travel magazine has my fifth and final story about George A Wyman. Available at Barnes & Noble and other fine booksellers. This was one of my most ambitious writing projects ever, and RoadRUNNER did a fantastic job with the layout of each installment. I’ve been laboring on this project for over two years – it’s weird that this part is finally done. Now it’s time to get working on the book…

And I talk about cats too. Chuck and Todd had a fun show (200 episodes already) and we have a lot of laughs as we talk about motorjournalism, my cross country trip, and whatever else happens to cross their minds. A good time was had by all… Check it out! http://wheelnerds.com/e/cat-photos-across-america/

The fourth part of my five-part George A Wyman story is in the March 2018 issue of RoadRUNNER Magazine. The Great Plains of the Midwest should have been easier than the mountains out west, but they weren’t. But Wyman eventually made it to Chicago, and so did I on the Zero DSR electric motorcycle.

“In the Tire Tracks of a Pioneer: Across the Great Basin Desert” is in the December 2017 issue of RoadRUNNER Magazine. This is the second of a five-part series on George A Wyman, who in 1903 became the first person to cross the country on a motorcycle (or any type of motor vehicle, actually). Part one covered Wyman’s departure from San Francisco and his arrival in Reno. This part crosses the Great Basin Desert of Nevada, goes across the top of the Great Salt Lake in Utah, and ends in Ogden. If you don’t already subscribe to the magazine (you… Continue reading My Second George A Wyman Story is Published in RoadRUNNER Magazine

I’ve started a new column for RoadRUNNER Magazine called PhotoMojo. In each column I’ll share a bit of what I’ve learned about photographing motorcycles and motorcycle trips over the last twenty years. Gosh, has it really been that long?!

I’d like to think that I’ve got motorcycle trip packing down to a science or at least well figured out by now. Sometimes I get a press bike that has a huge topcase and generous panniers and I just throw everything in and go. Other times, I get a cool bike that doesn’t have any luggage accommodations at all. Worse yet, there’s no way to secure any soft luggage and I’ve got to carry everything on my back. In those extreme circumstance (which the sadist in me kind of likes), this is how I pack: How do you pack? How… Continue reading Packing Light
