As I feverishly work to get current on this blog, it’s time to document yet another transcontinental ride. While hanging with friends and family on the east coast has certainly been warm, exciting, tasty and fulfilling, it’s time I get back home — to California where more loved ones, friends and family eagerly (I hope!!) […]
Sure. The current government administration hasn’t fared nor treated us Americans well. Our president is stuggling to make sense of his legacy and our country’s top political parties have finally chosen their candidates and appointed vice presidential running mates. We are living in exciting and strange times. So before pulling up my temporary roots here […]
I’ve been set back quite a bit by the breach and thievery that happened either in Turkey or on the WWL ship. But I can’t dwell on it other than sadly note that the only theft that occurred to me on this nearly three year journey happened after I had left the bike for its […]
Does anyone want to meet in Washington, DC / Virginia this weekend? I just picked up my bike from the Port of Baltimore and will be at my brother Jonathan’s place this weekend. On Saturday we’re holding an informal “open house” welcoming me and Doc back to the states. We’d love to have you drop […]

Brother Jon & good friend Tim, who met me in Argentina and Chile in 2006 sitting atop Charlie Palmer’s in Washington DC with a nearly full moon and the usual “hill” sites while sipping some legendary Italian Vin Santo.

Well, it should have been an easy task. First, get my brother Jon to take some time and shuttle me up to the Port of Baltimore, where Doc would be waiting for me. I had locked my boots, helmet, and riding pants into the top box and Jesse Bags. My jacket was sent ahead for […]

In this episode I discuss the preparations, updates and the plan to return to my journey. Please tune in and post a comment here on the blog. The photos, writing […]
I’ve been exercising by climbing these 137 steps straight down to Swami’s surf beach in Encinitas, California As the days tick by I can’t help but feel loss and longing. Earlier this month I passed the break-even point. That is, I’ve been more days in recovery and at home than I did on the road […]
I’ve been a bit remiss in keeping the WorldRider site active over the last month. To be sure, I’ve been working hard on rehabilitating, doing a little bit of work and slowly pulling the details together to prepare for my eventual return to Bolivia where I will reunite with Doc (my motorcycle) and continue my […]
The Muddy Mess Starts. Cruising into Tica Tica Bolivia, 1/15/06. 5 minutes before accident I ventured to Newport Beach yesterday to visit legendary orthopedic specialist Warren Kramer. He focuses on knees and ligaments and has earned a reputation among motocross racers and pro surfers. In fact, seven time world champion surfer Kelly Slater has been […]
