I finally figured out how to move my motorcycle with the engine off and my helmet off my head. Probably not my best photo, but can you believe it's actually a selfie? I used my helmet as a stand for...

I was trucking through a city that gets a bad rap among people in my line of work when I came up with the idea to "modify" my gearshift while stuck in a traffic jam. Imagine a hostile party jumping on...

It all started with a little blue and black bicycle when I was still just a toddler. Getting good at riding those things lead to wanting and expecting to ride something with an actual engine. I've had...

Side shot from a good night....

I got my dad to help me with something the other day. In return he wanted me to pick up a frozen pizza for our dinner. A few minutes later, I learned the gas tank on my bike was the perfect size for t...

Every time we use this trailer to tow something, we run into - uh - complications. This time was no exception. I accidentally locked my keys in the truck and had to learn how to break into my own truc...

At 44°, it was warm enough for me to truly enjoy the ride. What started as a late breakfast run, turned into a few more errands just to get more riding time. The sky wasn't pretty, but the road was dr...

The rig I drive for work was broken down Tuesday when I limped it back to the company terminal in Eden. When I found out it was fixed this morning, I also found out I wouldn't have another load to run...

Just a little something I keep on display back home....

Last weekend (Christmas Day to be exact), I got into some salt with my bike. Tonight I got into some wet road with my bike. The good news is I finally washed my bike tonight. Just look at those pictur...

I know it was cold this morning, but I wasn't expecting salt in the church parking lot. ? It's so dry... It was worth it though. Merry Christmas y'all!...

My youngest nephew outta love this gift! ?...

I couldn't get to my bike yesterday. The car blocking it in was broken down. So I drove my other favorite machine... then I found this other classic car (a true classic). I ended up talking with the...

It was a big deal for me when I bought my brand new R6 back in March 2014. Not only was it my first motorcycle, but it was my first ever new vehicle. At the same time, it wasn't the bike I really want...

Just me and my R6 at it again. I thought this old train station would be a good place for a couple of photos of my machine....

It was too cold to let my nephew ride the real thing with me yesterday, but that didn't mean we couldn't have anything to do with bikes at all. He wanted to play with my big rigs. Then he wanted me to...

I let my niece and nephew ride in my Z28 the other night. Not only did they want to bring their favorite stuffed animals along, they wanted them to be safe. So there it is. My niece has her stuffed bu...

I finally got myself some earplugs to wear while riding on long trips. I had to learn about my need for these the hard way when I spent 13 hours straight on my R6 to go to "The Tail of the Dragon" and...

I finally participated in a Christmas toy run using motorcycles. Hearing a bunch of Harleys fire up their engines all at once is one of the coolest sounds....

I had to race down to the Miami area for a 1pm delivery yesterday. On my way down, I learned the clock wasn't my only opponent. A hurricane was on its way in. I managed to go for 1 1/2 hours behind sc...

Funny story: I've lived in the Martinsville, Virginia area most of my life and always loved anything that could be driven fast. That went especially for cars. In all that time, I'd never been to watch...

One of my best bros has a birthday that falls within a few days of mine, so we went out this morning to celebrate. I was supposed to bring my Camaro, but she wouldn't crank. I just grinned and grabbed...

My little nephew and I were at it again. The backpack strapped to my gas tank was strapped to my chest at one point (while that cardboard box was strapped to my gas tank). Doing things like this make...

Here's a view I can stay used to....

I often hear people in my line of work express worries about people cutting them off if they were to ride a motorcycle among other problems with people in cars not paying attention to what they're doi...

I needed something from a store called Target. My hometown doesn't have one of those, so it's always a small road trip when I want/need to go there. I generally have three options. I can cut down in...

Do you ever just look at your bike and think, "Wow! My machine looks so cool!"?...

I couldn't ride my R6 yesterday, but with my Z28 (Joline), I did alright. Plus with views like these, it's a little harder to feel bad about not getting to ride....
