It fascinates me to no end to find that no matter how far and fast we go, the nuances that make up the human condition seem to always get there first. I’m a high school graduate with a college degree yet only now at 25 has my education began. Behavioral Science 101 is in session every time I walk into…

Hindsight is 20/20 so as I write this it’s easy to say that something wasn’t going right; but it wasn’t. About half hour to an hour of riding, the BMW started to feel weak. Similar symptoms to the issues that had arisen before so at the next gas stop we check out the front rim and it’s definitely solid; it…

Today was the earliest we’ve started riding which was great. I installed my new, charged battery, we loaded the bikes and off we went. The day is looking great so far. It looks like it’ll be a day without any bike problems and we’ll be able to cover a lot of ground. The scenery and landscapes continued to drop our…

We just can’t get a break. Today we actually got on the road before 10am. Red Rock Amphitheater was our first destination. We pull into one of the parking lots and turn off my bike. As we realize we have to go further up the road I try to start my bike with no luck. Nothing is happening when I…

I’ve never felt so at home on my ride and free as bird, as I did today. There exists a certain level of comfort when a master mechanic such as Clem passes you back the keys to your mount. The first few minutes back on the road are enough to align the rhythm of those 2 cylinders to your own…

Today was a chill day. Since Marco’s bike is at the shop we stayed in and worked primarily on our content. We got some blog posts ready, some videos edited and reached out on several media outlets to get the word out. That was most of our day. Marco received a call around 4:00pm letting him know his bike was…

After spending the day focusing on writing these posts, prepping videos, and organizing photos we patiently wait for an update on my bike. From the moment I had dropped the R90 off at BMW, I went over the BMW Motorcycle Owners of America forum to reach out to their responsive community for any and all advice on what was happening…

It’s a brisk Denver morning as we stroll into the BMW dealership. I wanted to get there as soon as they opened to commence the discussion on how to get my bike back on the road sooner rather than later. The service counter is ruled by a lovely woman who proceeds to tell me that there is only one man…

This morning Meaghan drove us over to the BMW dealership so Marco could check on his bike. I browsed the BMW showroom and fell in love with the BMW R nineT, there were also other models that would’ve fared much better than our bikes on this trip. Unfortunately we didn’t have the kind of scratch to dish out for these…

This is becoming an all too familiar sight – the passenger seat of a vehicle housing the rear dimensions large enough to transport my horse. I’m not sure what’s more uncomfortable, the artificial fresh air filling the tow truck cabin or watching all these miles go by with out riding them myself. As Colorado’s landscape evolves from flat lands to…
