Full tank. Wandering heart.
Yeah, there’s a giant hamburgermobile filling up on pump one. No big whoop. Are you kidding me? My head almost exploded with the total greatness of serendipitously running into the hamburgermobile a few years back....
This morning I discovered an interesting fact. Insurance coverage on the Enfield costs us $19 per year. Nineteen dollars. Go through your pants pockets, I bet you’ll found at least that much crumpled up in...
Some days I can wake up and feel like anything is possible. The world is just waiting for me to take a hold of it. Others? I can wake up and feel like a complete...
This weekend, I did not ride my motorcycle at all. But I did run some upcoming trip related errands. Kenny and I made our way over to the AAA office and picked up our International Driving Permits....
Last summer my husband Kenny lost his wedding ring during a dirt ride. He’s never made much of an effort to replace it – which is fine by me – since he isn’t a fan...
Maybe it is a symptom of living in suburbia less than an hour from the megatropolis of New York City – but I find that it takes a while for me to adjust to...
Before she was a fully realized thought in my belly, my daughter has been riding along with me. It has been some time since she’s been perched on the pillion seat of my Tiger,...
Well, I finally broke down and ordered a Spot Gen 3 Tracker. I hope that I never, ever need it and it becomes a $150 insurance policy. I’d been waffling on the whole topic...
This morning I was thinking about all of the wonderful people and unexpected friendships that I’ve made because of the internet. My upcoming trip overseas will be with Ed and Pimmie, people that I...

We’ve had a setback on the Lilo Sidecar Dog front. During her first vet visit after adopting her, we discovered that she has heartworm. All told, the treatment for heartworm takes months. During the course, Lilo has...
At some point you just come to terms with your shortcomings. I will never be a confident dirt rider. There is something about the looseness of it that I cannot give myself over to....
Finding places to ride your motorcycle to where there are few people can prove to be challenging on Long Island. But the further east you go, the more elbow room you have. One of...
It’s here! It’s finally here! I’ve been waiting all week for my Klim Altitude jacket to show up. It finally arrived on Thursday after what felt like an eternity. First impressions of it have left...
In 2010, Kenny and I flew to Italy to meet up with our friend Pimmie and do some riding in the Alps. Our travels took us through the mountains of Italy, Switzerland and Austria....
On Thursday morning while being completely useless at work before the long 4th of July weekend, I decided to check out the ladies Klim gear on Revzilla.com. You know, “just looking.” I don’t NEED...
Last night I dreamed that I was pulled over by a NY State Trooper and given an $847 speeding ticket for doing 81mph in a 55. On the Royal Enfield. Outraged, I shouted at...
Pulling this one out of the Flashback Friday Snapshot Machine from June of 2012 – Maple Donuts on the Lincoln Highway in York, Pa. It seemed to be a fitting picture for today, July...
