Maybe it’s Murphy’s Law, or maybe it’s just that the rain follows me wherever I go — regardless of which continent I’m traveling. Sure, the odds of rain in New England in October are much higher than that of Southern California in November, but who would’ve thought that during my first presentation in California in […]
Seems that the sun, blue skies and any good lighting for photography has alluded me for the past three weeks since leaving Northampton, Mass. This morning further signs of cold weather hit me with a temporary setback. As I tried to harness every bit of warmth last night while riding toward the city, I had […]
Riding a motorcycle through upstate New York in late October is a crap shoot when it comes to weather and overall rider comfort. To be sure, I have no issue with weather as I’m fully prepared, especially since I added those heated Gerbing gloves to my arsenal. Fact is, weather and its cloud of undertainty […]
With the temperature dropping and skies threatening, I only hoped that I would make Ludlow before nightfall and, ideally, dry.

I reunited with Doc, my F650GS Dakar motorcycle, last week in Virginia and was able to spend valuable time with my brother and his family before heading north to my first east coast BMW dealer presentation in upstate New York. Of course, before heading out I had to give my sister-in-law, Maria, and my niece […]
As many of you know, I have been working with BMW on setting up a schedule of presentations, slide shows and speaking at many of the top BMW dealers in the country. I will be riding my bike, yes the same motorcycle from my world tour, to each of the Fall 2010 presentations. So take […]
The Whoa Nellie Deli was teeming with business, cash registers ringing, cooks shouting numbers and a line to order. It was my third night ordering and I felt local, part of the crew. And now, we were in a bind. We needed to get Jeremiah’s bike on a truck headed to Reno and I looked […]
