Got this submission from two ladies who took a two-up road trip on their Maxim from PA to CA and back! Number one reason this excites me- my first bike was a 1980 Yamaha XJ 650 Maxim! Secondly, well… there’s two ladies involved. How cool is that? Lucysarah is an Apprentice painter at J&B Moto Co, and pilot of the motorbike for the trip. I figured you might love this Road Trip of a life time. Two up on my 1981 Yamaha xj650 Maxim from York, PA to Born Free in CA and back . 🙂… Continue Reading »

Talk about motorcycle adventure- Tina Walker and her man are wandering whichever way the wind may take them… no schedule. Her photos were sent along with this info about their road trip- My hubs and I are on our Road Pickle Motorcycle Bohemia, a 6-month motorcycle trip around the U.S. We left San Diego April 25, 2013 and are now in Tulsa, OK, having been on the road 7 weeks.

I couldn’t help but grin when we got back into camp. (4) Karissa uses the mini bike to… Continue Reading »
Some select photos from the 2013 Touratech Adventure Motorcycle Rally this weekend in Plain, WA (Wenatchee County). It was a real treat to really ride off road for the first time, and on a capable bike such as the Husqvarna 650 Terra. Furthermore… how fortunate I was to have photographers on one of our rides to get these shots! (Photos 1,2,4 by Carl Parker of Adventure Motorcycle Magazine, photo 3 by Nathan Slabaugh.) Many more photos (and a full article) from the rally soon!
Alright, it may be slightly delayed… but I finished my video from the 2013 Sang-Froid Riding Club Alley Sweeper Urban Enduro. After the event I did a mini status update with photos of the damage to the bike and myself after wrecking it twice. Now it’s time to answer the question posed to me via instagram, facebook, AND twitter: “Can you explain to me how that’s fun?” Sure… riding through mud, potholes, gravel, grass, and whatever else you happen upon is not for the faint of heart. It’s for the motorcyclists who… Continue Reading »
