Road Trips: What type of lodging do you seek out?
When it comes to traveling for several days on a motorcycle road trip, barring any unforeseen mishaps or frivolous souvenir purchases your lodging costs will most likely make up the bulk of your expenses. What type of lodging do you seek out when on the road?
Memory Lane: Remembering Badlands National Park
Photographs from Badlands National Park in South Dakota. In May of 2005, Kenny and I rode from New York with the intention of visiting Mount Rushmore. One of the stops that we simply had to make was to visit Badland National Park. Kenny was piloting his 3 week old Triumph Speed Triple and I rode out on my old 98
Remembering California: Discovering the Jewel that is California’s Lost Coast
While out west, we stumbled upon a stretch of road called the King Range National Conservation Area also known as ‘The Lost Coast’. Before leaving for California, I had never even heard of it. I discovered the Lost Coast, reading a small local paper during our trip.

Iceland: Super-Jeep, Black Sand, Waterfalls and Glaciers
While in Reykjavik we went on a super jeep tour with Nature Explorer. We visited waterfalls, glaciers and black sand beaches on the south shore of Iceland.
Visiting Iceland: Photographs from The Blue Lagoon spa outside of Reykjavik
Out in the very lunar-like landscape sits one or Reykjavik most significant tourist draws. The Blue Lagoon spa. A littel slice of hot water heaven that is not to be missed.
Visiting Iceland: A Day trip to Gullfoss and Geysir
The sheer power of Gullfoss waterfall is something to behold as you walk down the windy spray filled path to stand at the edge of the falls. A bajillion gallons of water go rushing by, clean and blue as you stand just a dozen feet away, wind whipping your face. It’s absolutely stunning to stand so close to such power.
Visiting Iceland: Assorted Photographs from Reykjavik
Reykjavik felt more like a suburb, like a far less dense and congested Queens, moreso than a major city. At times we found ourselves walking alone on streets that were lined with single family dwellings. Even within the town center there were moments when we were alone. Though it was the Easter holiday time, think about how often that happens in Times Square. Mmm… never? With less than 400,000 residents you’ve got a lot of elbow room in Iceland. I loved that part.
Visiting Iceland: Our Arrival at Keflavik and on to Reykjavik
What I knew of Iceland before I left was that it was a naturally rugged and raw, beautiful place. For about a year now it has been dancing on my subconscious as place I must visit soon. Life has a funny habit of passing you by in a blink so when opportunity knocked on my email box this past March I thought it best to take the leap. And with that, off we went in to the red sunrise…

Photographs from a day trip to Thingvellir National Park during our visit to Iceland in April 2009.
Iceland: The Fuzz’s Motorbike
I was surprised to see a very large population of motorcycle riders around Reykjavik. It really drove home the idea that people are the same everywhere. Squids, crusty old pirates, adventure guys… all the usual suspects, just waaaaaaay up north. The Reykjavik police have it good, wouldn’t you say? Check out one of their FJRs:

Some Shots from Wellsboro
Yes, I know that none of these pictures are very good, but for me they are serving a purpose. After witnessing such an awful event in losing Michael and Cindy last week I felt...
