Buckskin Rides Again!
A serialized memoir about riding solo on my motorcycle across 11 states for 4820 miles, and decades of memories.
I’m Tamela Rich, aka “Buckskin”
Back in the seventies my CB radio handle was “Buckskin.” At sixty-three, I picked it back up to ride solo from North Carolina to Arizona and back: 4820 miles on my BMW sport-touring bike.
Along the way, I met gas-station prophets, drivers hauling questionable cargo, and old men making honor bets, tracing the physical, emotional, and historical inheritance that shaped me.
I tell the story in 25 dispatches filled with road magic, family reckonings, and a few hard-won truths about what it means to grow down instead of grow up.
