There needs to be a neon sign on Twitter pronouncing the online equivalent of “No Shoes, No Shirt, No Service.”
And speaking of neon maybe we should blame it on John Mayer (@johncmayer)? He was one of the early celeb adopters of Twitter to lure fans. And as we all know in social media, where celebs [...]

Colorado. Well known for its magnificent scenery of mountains, rivers and plains.
Harley-Davidson management determined that the Rocky Mountain region with 53 peaks above 14K feet was the perfect place to hold the Summer Dealer Meeting in the Gold Rush mining town of – Denver. Later this week (July 25th) dealers will get revved up to [...]

She’s tough, tenacious, smart and demonstrated a willingness to take the Government to task. I’m talking about Supreme Court nominee Sonia Sotomayor.
She’s served on the US Court of Appeals for the 2nd Circuit for 10 years, heard over 3,000 cases and written over 380 opinions. She has associated herself with and championed the cause of [...]

The open air and miles of asphalt stretch out all across the U.S. Bikers nationwide consider the open road a home away from home and the desire to explore is sometimes described as a spiritual calling. To ride with the wind in your face and be free on the open road is like nothing else.
But, are we [...]

I enjoy outdoor recreation. I hike. I camp. I mountain bike. I ride cross-country motorcycles in recreational areas and act responsibly to protect public lands.
Last month the U.S. House approved and Obama signed into law yesterday a bill that unreasonably bans recreation on more than 2 million acres of public land by designating it Wilderness [...]

Recently I had a unique opportunity to hear Monte Stiles speak, who for over 26 years as a state and federal drug prosecutor witnessed the darkest sides of society. He has worked hundreds of drug, gang and murder cases in the court system which is littered with grieving families of every stripe. The years of [...]

Imagine for a moment you purchase a new Harley Iron 883. Before pulling away from the dealer to enjoy a nice spring day ride you slip on a black leather riding vest with a large Harley-Davidson embroidered logo. Near the bottom of the logo there is a Milwaukee, WI rocker. Your buddies have similar vest’s [...]

I made a commitment earlier in the year to blog more about and highlight Northwest legislative activity. My intent is to provide illumination on issues and help give motorcyclists a “voice.” It’s turning out that it could be a full-time job as America seems to be moving farther away from its Founders’ vision and government, but [...]

Three years ago I sold my (purchased new) 1978 Yamaha YZ 400 to a good buddy. At the time I was downsizing and making room in the garage for other more active projects and the bike received little ride time. My buddy had plans to ride with his kids and though there are days I [...]

During dinner a couple weeks back my cell phone rang and I found myself in the middle of a telemarketing call. I was caught off guard not because it’s rare, but because the individual was promoting a new movie and it took me a moment to realize what was going on.
Before I could mentally process [...]
