Pal’s Sudden Service with Bonus Mufflerman
The facade of the Pal’s Sudden Service chain has to be one of the best around. Normally I wouldn’t say such things in polite company but, look at that huge wiener! Back in 2012,...
When Things Feel Awkward With An Old Friend
While doing the Void Rally 11 and for the week following when I was road tripping on it, there were several times when my Tiger felt tall, top-heavy and a smidgen unwieldy. I actually...
Drafts and Funk – Keeping My Eyes on the Light

Seen, Unseen and the Route 66 Encyclopedia
Route 66 holds sway over my imagination. I know, it’s just a road. And yet, for me something about it transcends that. I can’t be alone in this thinking because it has evolved in...
Random Thoughts on Women and Travel and Being Busy
Preface: I started writing this post while roadtripping to Oklahoma, in October 2016. Today two women who crossed my path commented on the fact that I was traveling alone. Sometimes I don’t even realize...

VOID Rally 11: Route is Planned, Resignation Settles In

A Quick Check-In – I’m Alive and Well!
Whoops. It’s been 20 days since I posted anything. It isn’t that I haven’t had anything to talk about. Quite the contrary, really. I’ve done a few dualsport events, crashed twice during said dualsport...
Bull Durham Ghost Ads and a Pink Elephant
Like a dumbbell, I brought my (3rd partially broken) point-n-shoot camera with its nifty 30x zoom with me… but failed to charge the battery. One day I’ll get this all right, but this? This...

Riding River Road Along the Delaware
