Our original adventure on Route 66.
The final day of a massive cross-country road trip is always a bittersweet mix of high-mileage focus, reflective highway miles, and the undeniable comfort of pointing the front tires toward home. After weeks of desert heat, mountain passes, and unforgettable roadside encounters, our pack finally split the lanes to make our respective runs back to…
Yesterday was a classic, unforgettable transit day—the kind of day that reminds you why you travel by motorcycle. We watched the endless horizon of the Kansas plains slowly give way to the rolling green of Missouri, packed in some classic Americana history, shared a powerful roadside moment with a local stranger, and wrapped up the…
Yesterday was an absolute giant of a day that tested our patience, our brakes, and our lung capacity. We went from meeting 80-year-old riding legends in a Colorado parking lot to scaling a legendary 14,000-foot summit, dodging distracted delivery drivers, and racing the sunset across the flat expanse of Kansas. From bathroom blunders to victory…
Yesterday was an incredible, high-mileage mountain marathon that dragged us through the ever-changing, multicolored geology of Utah and threw us straight into the steep alpine gaps of Colorado.

From park pass confusion to…
Yesterday was a high-octane journey through the iconic sights of San Francisco and into the open valleys of California.

From Lombard Street…
If yesterday was about high-altitude heat and desert climbs, today was the complete opposite. We woke up to a brisk, gray California morning that felt a lot more like late autumn than the middle of August. It was a day of heavy marine layers, unexpected weather lessons, roadside chats with law enforcement, and one of…
Yesterday was the definitive cross-California epic. We went from the quiet, desert-baked dirt of a historic mining camp, climbed nearly 8,000 feet into alpine twists, cut straight through the heart of LA traffic to hit the official end of Route 66, and finally ate dinner on the rocks of the Pacific Coast Highway as the…
