After an early morning continental breakfast we brought the bikes to life in the motel parking lot and after a quick fuel stop we shake, rattled and rolled down the US 395 trail. The road encourages a relaxed pace and many of the trappings of modern travel are just not on this road. About 40 [...]

On the first day of fall the saddlebags were loaded and ready for another motorcycle trip. This time the posse pointed our motorcycles south and headed toward some promised fun in the Nevada desert. Street Vibrations was the destination, but our journey through country roads and byway’s was the largest part of the reason that [...]

The weather, the gambling action, the leather and the chrome all attracted higher attendance for Street Vibration 2009. Maybe the lack of hype or the “sky is falling” press about impending club-on-club violence helped? There was a positive “vibe” in the city which I’ve not observed in a couple years. I ask and didn’t hear [...]

Today is the first day of fall and I’m on the road with the wind in my face. Street Vibrations is the destination, but the journey is what it’s all about. As I admire the scenery along the country roads of Oregon, I can’t help but think about the book, Crisscrossing America. It’s a story [...]

Do 3-wheeled motorcycle (“Trike”) owners carry more weapons than the 2-wheeled brethren? Although there is no scientific research or poll which confirms the “packing” attributes of each vehicle type, the recent arrest of NBA player Delonte West is an indicator that we might want to give the 3-wheeled riders a bit little more distance in [...]

It’s iconic. “A man went looking for America and couldn’t find it anywhere.” Forty years later Sony Pictures prepares to re-release (on October 13th) a newly digitized version of “Easy Rider” on Blu-ray disc and leverage movieIQ technology which allows fans to access relevant cast and crew trivia online.

A while back and I don’t recall now how, but I subscribed to an Oregon State Police newsflash service. I don’t forward OSP news, but this is rather significant and involves multiple motorcycles. At 2:54 (Pacific) there was an OSP report of numerous motorcycles northbound on Interstate 5, near milepost 282 south of Wilsonville who [...]

A lot of people mistakenly assume that gambling originated in Las Vegas. The fact is that Reno, NV gambling was the hottest and most entertaining until the 1950’s when Vegas started to staked its claim in the market and solicited clientele away.
