highway queen, part three – the grand finale
Hindsight, overall, is a beautiful thing. In the last 7 months, my life, and how I perceive life, has changed entirely, and not because of happenstance. Because at every breaking point, at every moment of low or high, and every opportune second to be grateful for the fact that I live, breathe, and exist, I…

highway queen, part two – California
Time…is irreplaceable. It is the one true thing we can never get back. We are bound to it, and with no guarantee of what the universe might bring, we consequently never know how much of it we have, a subterranean uncertainty in each of us which bonds humanity as a whole. And it is often…

highway queen – part one, WA and OR
Wu Wei is an ancient Chinese concept which means ‘inexertion’, ‘non-forced’, or ‘effortless action’. Often there is a false impression, that wu wei is to do nothing, to be passive and lazy, laissez faire, if you will. As Lao Tzu says, the virtuous man is not conscious of his virtue, and the man who is…

Adventuring West, Part 2
It was a brisk and early morning in Yellowstone, and upon hearing my phone alarm go off, it took every ounce of willpower I had to shimmy out of my sleeping bag and throw on my jacket, hat, and shoes. First up was making coffee and downing a Cliff bar, next was taking down the…

Adventuring West, Part 1
Contrary to what many people perceive life on the road might be like, it is by no means a vacation. Hell, I haven’t showered in 5 days. I am in a constant shuffle trying to find which clothes smell the least. Sleep? What’s that? A mirror? Put that away. Full 9 hour days at Starbucks…

Adventure Motorcycle Gear and Why Gear Matters: Boot Edition
Adv boots – holy shit, where do we begin? Well, you have options out there. Lots of options. And while I can’t say I have worn every pair of boots on the market (I mean seriously who has?), I do have a general idea of what are some of the best boots out there for…

Giant Loop – the best in adventure motorcycle travel
There’s a reason I always have Giant Loop bags on my adventure motorcycle, whether it’s a day ride with friends or a week on the road: they are convenient and easy to use, lightweight and versatile, and oh, the straps…you can literally tie these bad boys down onto anything. Built for any type of vehicle…
