Long Island Motorcycle Ride Photo Inspiration: Phetus88 Mural
Now that I’ve been a Long Islander for just about 20 years, I find that it can be challenging to keep the local Long Island motorcycle ride excitement fires stoked.
Having ridden motorcycles in many different states, and places like the Alps, the American West, the mountains of the south, what I have found over time is that “fun” is all about mindset.
So, when I don’t leave Long Island for a day ride on my motorcycle, it is common for me to go out and do a bit of local exploring. I seek out things like interesting roadside attractions, historical points, or photogenic views.
With this frame of mind, the old adage it’s not the destination, it’s the journey is turned on its head. The ride becomes about the destination. Sure, the ride itself is enjoyable, it is riding after all, but the big payoff is often what’s waiting for me at my planned stop.
Long Island Motorcycle Ride – Photo Inspo
While not typically known for its street art or murals to the same degree as our 5 borough neighbors, Long Island does have some excellent pieces.
In my local travels around the Island over the last few months I’ve been seeking out inspiring works both for myself to enjoy, and with the hope of sharing them.
This collection of photos is of a mural found in the town of Huntington by Long Island artist Phetus88. His monsterous expressionism is such an explosion of color and character you simply can’t tear your eyes away from it.
The first time I saw this wall, my eyes lit up. I just love it!

I love it too, so much going on! But my favorite part is the garage door window mouth.
Nice blog. Outstanding photos, especially viewing them in their larger size.
Wow, thank you for this.
