Motorcycling’s Resplendent Passages

Resplendent passages where travel becomes solitude, discipline, and return.

  • Excerpt, A Motorcycle Ride in Mexico

    Dust eats away at my skin. The leather I wear makes every minute an inferno on the motorcycle. Heat explodes up my ass, creeping past crack and sack to pillage my spine and overburden my shoulders. But I am an adult, I am in Mexico, I have documents and a clean record; I can drink,…

  • Rocky Point Rally – Motorcycling in Mexico as reported in American Rider Magazine January, 2022

  • ROYAL ENFIELD: a brief history of the bullet

    When I was a kid my parents bought me a stingray style bicycle that we called a muscle bike. With a can of cheap green spray paint, a leopard patterned banana seat, and high handlebars, I went to work updating. Attaching handlebar streamers to the hand grips and playing cards with clothe-pins to the frame,…
