Saturday 10/29/16 After waking and checking out, I sat at Carolines waiting for the UPS man. Thankfully Dimecity and UPS came through around 1. Fueled up on coffee from an awesome shop next door called Flat Track Coffee. It’s a bike and coffee shop plus they got dirt bikes on display. Got my clutch cable […]
Saturday 10/22/16 Got up early to head into the desert to ride dirt bikes with Rick. KZ1000’s are not made to ride deep into the desert but somehow I made it in. No drops! Absolutely nothing around for as far as the eye can see. Ricks buddy, Evan, had come up the day before and […]
Putting this up a day early b/c we are heading into the desert to camp and ride dirt bikes tomorrow… Sunday 10/16/16 Woke up and soon realized I lost my debit card. Fuck. Ran all over town retracing my steps but no luck. Went to Ryan’s to finish maintenance on the bikes and hang […]

Radke and I are currently riding across the country (more on that to come) and while at the Willville Motorcycle Campgrounds another rider suggested we detour to the Barber Vintage Museum. We thought that was a great idea and did. There are too many bikes here and I went nuts taking pictures but barely even […]
