The morning was cool and we packed up our stuff. While packing we meet Jim, yet another person on the way to Burning Man. Jim’s from Florida and he tells us all about Burning Man and gives us itineraries that we need to check out on the bike, not just on the west coast but on the east as well.…

The BMW Owners Anonymous book comes out again this morning. There’s one phone number that claims to offer the works; space to work, a trailer, chit chat, emergency services, etc. Whoever is on the other end doesn’t need to be an expert but it’d be nice if they knew more than me on this matter. I dial the number and…

This morning Marco went off to work on his motorcycle again. It’s quickly becoming a trend. He wakes up earlier to go try and fix his bike while Gomes and I sleep in a bit more and then try to get some content created. As Gomes and I strapped our gear to our bikes we met a guy who used…

Wendover had surprised us the night before. It was like a mini Vegas. It’s where you’d go if you wanted Vegas but more low key. Its calmer and quiter. Marco had left his battery charging the night before and after testing that his bike would run using my battery he re-installed his battery. By the time his bike was all…

This pure white abyss was at the top of my list for locations I wanted to ride on this trip. Lawless square miles with an open throttle and an itchy trigger finger brings together all the ingredients that we are looking forward today under these open blue skies. The salt has a personality disorder where it thinks it’s a mirror…

My job as a cinematographer is to stay true to whatever story I’m telling and making sure that my presence goes unnoticed, unless of course there’s a specific reason for it. Normally that’s a fairly easy thing to do; you take an objective approach when your shooting and you don’t interfere with what’s going on in front of camera. Simple.…

A measly cereal selection and the scent of waffle batter makes up a generic continental breakfast in our beloved country. I consume one of everything they have to offer, and when fruits are available I snag some for the road. At 730am the table in the lobby where I have my breakfast is lined with empty seats. Not because I…

Being that we were unable to have our trip go as planned we have changed it so that we plan to hit the salt flats before sunset and stay ’til it gets dark. We knew we would be facing some rain up until 4pm today in Salt Lake City based on what the weather apps were telling us. The plan…

Pure white salt for miles to our right. Faded mountains falling off in the distance. My bike coasts along this stretch of Utah highway being pulled by a highlighter-orange ratchet strap purchased back home from Harbor Freight in all hopes that this cheap product won’t snap. Gomes’ right passenger peg is directly tied to my left foot peg and all…

We woke up in our tents for the first time today. The excitement of sleeping in our tents was shared between the 3 of us the night before. I guess the idea of having our own little living quarters where things felt cozy, appealed to us. We wrapped up our things and mounted the bikes and got Marco’s BMW on…
