One of the joys of motorcycle travel is exploring a place that is completely different than your hometown. Unless you are from there, I can guarantee this: Portland, Oregon is completely different than where you live. And the folks who live there like it that way. Here are six of my favorite places to…
Last year, I went to the American International Motorcycle Expo for the first time. The event was held in Columbus, Ohio – within a three-hour ride from my home near Detroit, Michigan. I was under the impression that AIMExpo was more of a dealer trade show than an event that the general riding public might…
When your motorcycle is in motion, your tires are the only parts of the bike that touch the ground. And yet, so many riders pay little attention to those vital components, nurturing them only when they fail – which is too late. Understanding more about your motorcycle’s tires and how to care for them properly…
My favorite part of any motorcycle rally comes when I’m struck with the feeling that everyone around me is a motorcyclist, motorcycle fan, or is somehow connected to motorcycling. It’s the same feeling that I imagine overtakes a superhero fan when they walk into Comic-Con, or to a dedicated sewer when they enter the halls…

Harley – began production of motorcycles in their garage in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. The Motor Company is still headquartered in Milwaukee at the site of the original workshop on Juneau Avenue, and every year stages an anniversary…
When you picture a motorcycle rally, you probably envision drunken, hairy, leather-clad men riding rampant on loud choppers with scantily clad women dancing in their wake. Picture instead a bucolic, natural lakeside setting. Mature motorcyclists in matching tactical gear sit in a classroom discussing motorcycle safety. Exhibitors promote ecologically friendly riding experiences. Good natured skills…
Spring is finally here. Perhaps you can’t tell because the weather in your part of the country still resembles mid-winter. But I know that spring is here, because my friends have already returned from 2018 Bike Week in Daytona Beach, Florida. This year represented the 77thAnniversary of Bike Week. The rally traces its roots back…
