Wish You Were Here
09 Sep 2010, written by moto 0 CommentsDarth Nater and Esteban Frito are out on the road, doing a grand tour of Utah, Arizona, and Colorado. Two riders ain’t quite a posse, but it’s sometimes easier when you only have two to keep ticking off the miles, so I am sure these guys are getting along just fine. I would love to be on this trip, but as this summer was winding down, the pressures of work, and commitment of being around for my kid going back to school made it a 5 day trip unrealistic. Here’s a quick update from the boys on the road:

Note from Darth: “…The Skyline Drive was as good as it gets. Just enough sprinkles to make it tacky. In Salina now, making a few calls and enjoying an appetizer before 2 more hrs of pave to Brian Head. While still fun, these trips are always better with a few mates.”

The new WordPress app for iPad plus a brand new camera connector kit will make this here iPad thingie a blogging machine. Funny, because all the haters say you can’t create content. There. I just did.
Day 8: Even Riding Solo, You’re Never Alone
24 May 2008, written by 1 CommentsAround 6 PM on Friday, I rolled into Hines, Oregon and found a room at a new Best Western. I met a couple from British Columbia on a big Honda touring bike. They had been all over Utah, Nevada, and Oregon, and were heading back to Canada after 10 or so days on the road. We ate at the same cafe that night, the Apple Peddler, and traded stories. Al Brooks is a motorcycle cop in the Delta, B.C. area of Canada, and a motorcycle instructor as well, so he knew his stuff. Al and I talked for awhile about bikes, the roads and dirt roads in the northwest, and about how motorcyclists are never alone out there. Safe travels, Al and Glenda!
