Photoblogging last weekend’s ride with my son Gregory in southern Nevada and northwestern Arizona, 500 hard but beautiful miles on two new BMWs: Itinerary, day one (Saturday): Las Vegas NV to Laughlin NV (via US 93) Laughlin NV to Kingman AZ Kingman AZ to Oatman AZ (via Rt 66) Oatman AZ to Kingman AZ Kingman […]
I’ve wanted to ride BMW’s new six-cylinder flagship touring bike ever since it came out. Last weekend I had my chance: two days and over 500 miles on a 2011 K 1600 GTL. I’d driven up to Las Vegas to spend Thanksgiving with my son Gregory in Las Vegas. Greg, as he has done before, […]
We try to keep the world from intruding on our happy lives, but sometimes all defenses fail. I don’t mean to make light of what happened at UC Davis, and god knows the photo itself is horrifying, but this photoshop somehow makes the latest pepper spraying incident all the more Orwellian: What a world we […]

Sunday morning I rode my motorcycle down to the corner cafe for breakfast, then took the twisties to the top of Mount Lemon, pretty much the only motorcycle destination in Tucson during the hot summer months. I arrived at my favorite mountaintop coffee shop at 9:30 AM only to find it still closed, but the […]
I had to drive to the base clinic this morning for an aortic sonogram, a routine test my doctor wanted to have in my records prior to my switching over to Medicare later this year. AFAIK, my aorta is fine. Back home, I packed my motorcycle’s saddlebag with oil, brake fluid, and a fresh oil […]
