Send us Fan Mail Sometimes our motorcycle rides are fast paced. Yes, that’s fun, but a fast paced life?  That’s not so fun.  It can be high-risk and destructive.  There are ways of building some cushion of safety, both in motorcycling and in life. Creating some “ Margin" as they call it.  We need to know when to adjust the load, when to slow down, when to make a change, when to rest, before s...

Send us Fan Mail Motorcycling.  It’s transportation and a cool means for travel, but if you’re like me, it’s the same play that I experienced in my childhood.  When we go out for a ride, we go out to play, sometimes alone and sometimes with our friends, and that’s a beautiful thing.  What a gift to be able to do that!

The Little Black B...

Send us Fan Mail I hear it often, even from motorcycle riders traveling on vacation.   I often hear it as I meet vacationers in the National Park.  If people tell me that they are leaving for home the next day, they often say “We have to go back to reality”.   Maybe, they’ve got it all wrong.  Maybe they have it backwards.  Perhaps they have been in reality all along.
