Moments Before The Electric Sun
There was a moment, I had a moment, for just a moment… In between the night and day where I briefly had the armrest and a moment of peace with the view outside the window. Then the electric sun flipped on inside the cabin and life sprung up, crinkling hundreds of plastic wrapped, individually wrapped …
Going Alone
No ICE Please, Just a Zero
“Mastering the art of science and electric propulsion since 2006,” Zero Motorcycles delivers its 10th model year line-up with many returning models, a few lower-priced ones and a slew of brand-new ones, including a whole new motor. The future is swiftly, and quietly, approaching. And that idea of terminating your credit card account with the …
Thinking Outside The Box
Using your adventure motorcycle to get your body from point A to B on the map can be mighty boring, unless you’re riding the lesser-straight roads and trails in between — it’s built for so much more than that. Same thing can be said of your hard cases. Using them just for hauling your supplies …
To Adventure Or Not. That Is The Question.
Everyone kept saying “get the big bike, its better” and until you look for yourself at the differences between the standard and Adventure models, and decide if they’re what you need, opinions mean nothing. Today I made a choice between two of the best out there. The decision on which bike I’d buy for my …
T-100 Days: Shipping Dates Ready
It’s the first week of June and the plans for Expedition 65 are only now starting to solidify, only 99 days left! After our meeting at the Overland Expo, almost every point of the schedule hinged upon the shipping lines and the available space for our containers. With those dates in our hands we’re finally …
T-120 Days: Overland Expo Meeting
A year after the first mention of Expedition 65, the team gathers for a face to face at this years Overland Expo West.

An Italian Take on Adventure Bikes
In March of 2014, I flew off to northern Arizona to test ride the returning Aprilia Caponord for Motorcycle USA. Later that fall I got an extended ride on the machine, to deeper understand its livability with a ride up the coast to Monterey for the races at Laguna Seca. This is that story… unpublished on …
End of An Era: Motorcycle Magazine
Last night I returned home from a ride, picked up the iPad and found the notification of a new issue of Motorcycle Rides & Culture in my Zinio account, sweet… new reads! What I found inside, wasn’t so sweet afterall. Amongst the usual tour pieces, bike tests, build outs and product tests (including mine of the …
March Madness in April
Eating nothing nothing but twisty roads and gas station burritos for 2 days, I left home this weekend with a fresh tank of gas and no wallet. One-hundred fifty miles later I come to realize I need to fill both of my tanks and I’m in a pickle, on a motor-sickle. My trip to the …
Radials For The RTW Rider [ADV Pulse]
A hundred-twenty some years ago, there was a bicyclist in need of fixing a flat tire somewhere in the French countryside. The farmer that helped this man get back in the race later came to develop an entire empire on replaceable tires for everything from bicycles to spacecraft, railcars to motorcars. But before there was …

Shutdown at the Showdown
Last weekend was loaded with detours. Instead of attending what had become a spring ritual, a ride with Jimmy Lewis at the AltRider event in Pahrump, Nevada, I took on the task of helping another publication do what needed to be done. Ride motorcycles. The crew at RideApart threw together a collection of staff, family and friends to …
E65: Follow Us Everywhere
Think about what you plan to be doing in September and I’d forgive you for not knowing your exact plans beyond knowing you’ll probably be “at work” or wishing you were somewhere else. For me and my cohorts here, we’ll be on a lifelong journey to the end of the world, come along for the …
