Wacky behavior: so this lady back into my motorcycle causing it to flex the and break the side-stand before the bike crashes onto the driveway. No worries. She comes clean, offers to pay and so I take the bike to BMW for service. My friend Al Jesse sends a new side-stand extender because the pitiful […]
Your Dog Can Pee At San Diego Airport. Freely. Full disclosure here. I don’t have a dog. I love dogs. I love cats a bit more. But I love all animals. No discrimination. Though I always find it funny when I see dog owners sporting a warm bag of recently harvested poop dangling from their […]
What’s it take to get a new post on the WorldRider blog website? While my local friends nudge me often, today I received a warm note and email from Rwanda. I met J. Marie while traveling through Kigali, the capital of Rwanda. He helped me sort out the paperwork and details required to visit the […]
Chapter I — What you need to do to live a more rewarding life, one with success, happiness and contentment. Ignore These At Your Own Risk: Live A More Rewarding, Successful And Happy Life “How can anyone keep up?” I hear this or some version of “things move too fast” every day. It’s no wonder. […]
What had started as a great day had quickly sobered into a dramatic and tepid situation. The team arrived at the Bivouac late Monday night.

I had a terrific opportunity to join my friend Robb as he finally pulled the trigger and decide to make his dream come true: to compete and finish the most grueling motorsport raced in the world: Dakar. Through the support or Robb, The Strategic Group and Darkcyd Racing I will attend the infamous Dakar Rally […]
Ok. So you know I traveled around the world for three years alone—on a motorcycle. And I really didn’t see everything. There are still plenty of places waiting for my visit. Or at least I’d like to think so. Truth is, there are a lot of places I’m waiting to visit. But that’s besides the […]
It was just by a quirk of luck or maybe bad luck, that I mounted my Canon S95 inside Darkcyd Racing Team’s Desert Warrior before team manager Tara Rill strapped herself in for her inaugural ride in their new desert rally vehicle. But what was supposed to be a quick loop or two around the […]
So a few weeks back I finally dusted off Doc and took my venerable F650GS Dakar out for a long deserved cruise. Southern California isn’t the most favorable environment to be riding a dual-sport motorcycle—the urban areas, that is. But just a short hour or two ride and you can find great mountain riding, beautiful […]
