And so begins the jouney of a million miles

Auf weidershein... And I know it's misspelled right now. I'll know
more by the time I land - it's an 11 hour flight!

Rodeo baby!

Thank You America

In exchange for putting down the camera and tapping a few million keystrokes, I'm (finally) given the opportunity to report on a motorcycle from another country.

To do so, I needed to update my antique passport - asap. After sweating the logistics, paying my 160$ fee and waiting only 2 more days, I walked away with a brand new passport.

Look out world! Germany, here comes the Fonz!

So I'm Slacking, I Know

I know I told you all that I'd blog from someplace every day this month, being my most busy month this year. Not sure how I thought I'd do that - being so busy - but I'm back from my birthday respite. I'dd back log dates to fill it all in. Thanks for playing along!

In the Media: 2009 Can-Am Spyder Preview

Smack dab in between two alphabet-class weather events lain a narrow window of opportunity to ride the latest and greatest creations from the Canadian minds at Bombardier Recreation Products. Guess who closed the door on bluebird Texan skies this week? Ike did it, or maybe you can blame Gustav for whittling our day’s excursion to a short-order dish. We weren’t even off the hotel’s property before every stitch of clothing I wore was drenched in the warm waters of the Gulf of Mexico.

In the Media: 2009 Buell 1125CR Sneak Peek

Since August we’ve all known that the Buell 1125R had been turned on its side – front wheel pointed towards the sky side – into a tighter and tougher looking café racer called the 1125CR. If you’re as big a motorhead as your wife, girlfriend or bank balance says you are, you’d have been as excited as a little girl when you walked around the pits at Mid-Ohio this week.

Buell Inside Pass attendees got more than just a glimpse of the 2009 models, they were able to hop on and play moto-journo for a day. Your brand loyalty and enthusiasm created great privilege that day. Privileges usually reserved for the press had to take the back seat while you folks got to rip up the asphalt.

Texas is So Big....

Even the hotels have full sized restaurants in the lobby...

This week I'm in Texas - well today and tomorrow - to ride the new Can-Am Spyder. Watch for a report later this week on Motorcycle.com!



WOW, I had to come back and post that I just had the best steak of my life at the Hickory Steakhouse - betweeen a cute girl and Tom Riles.. what a night!

Blasty Blast in Leather Form

I got a new jacket and then wrote some words about it for MO, check it out.

On Stands Now..

That's not my shot on the cover of Motorcyclist but I do have a photo inside this issue, my first in that particular book. I also have one photo in the table of content of the September issue of RoadBike. Yeah me!

Eye Spy the '09s

The secret I referred to was getting my peepers on the newest Buell on the block, the 1125CR.

Stay tuned for more on this event and the motorcycle.

Up, up and a away....

...in my beautiful balloon.... Can't sleep in Ohio tonight. Secrets to
tell and whole month of travel yet to go :)

Photo a day September

Chinatown on Sunday, super yum!
