On the Road

An action packed week in Bend, Oregon with two TV appearances and an official role in the Cascade Cycling Classic.

When I first floated the idea of going cross country on a motorcycle I didn't even have a motorcycle license. My family was, rightfully, concerned about my safety.

The Conga III magic continues from WI through MN and SD.  I'm proud to be a Conga III rider, a Facebook-facilitated motorcycle fundraiser benefiting breast cancer.

The closest I've ever come to Wisconsin is Laverne & Shirley.

I was surprised how easily I got from Valparaiso, IN to the BMW dealership in Chicago, where they did the bike's first service and installed a windshield.

From Cincinnati, OH to Valpraiso, IN, home of Indiana Grain. Stayed at the beautiful Aberdeen Inn.

My first day solo, riding through WV and KY. Adventures with the Kentucky Conga Line.

From Charlotte, NC to Beckley, WV the first leg of the trip surrounded by friends, family, supporters, and riders was a fantastic success.  Here are some video recaps of the day!

As a basketball-bellied man ambled out of the shop I said, "I bet you don't have any motorcycle helmets here, do you?" When he smiled, his eyes became slits like mine always do, "I bet you I do!"
