There were so many good photos (you can see some of my favorites in the Farmer’s Racer the flickr album) it was really tough to pick just one.

Today I met a wonderful chap from Canada- Tamlyn Beesley is on a 40 day motorcycle road trip and when he passed through Portland briefly we met up for coffee at See See! He told me tales of the 108 degree Mojave, and first gear turns of Bible Creek Rd in Oregon (which I had never been on… gasp). It’s always nice meeting people on their road trips, even if it makes me a bit jealous. Click the photos for captions, and check this link for his photo journal.

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.
