I’ve been riding on two wheels for as long as I can remember. Growing up, I lived by 2 wheels, motorized or not. I was tossed onto Yamaha dirt bikes and Honda street bikes, thanks to my motorhead father. I’m glad it carried over into adulthood.

My brother and I swear by BMW’s, airhead and oilheads. Blaine rides a BMW r90/6 and I ride a BMW r1200GS. I’m in the process of rebuilding a classic 1970 BMW r75/5. Once I get that bike in tip top shape, I hope to have a good balance of riding a new and old beemer.

My brother, father and I will be taking a cross country trip this fall from Atlanta to the Grand Canyon and back. It’s going to be a killer adventure and I can’t wait to document it along the way. This journey will be one of the many extended motorcycle trips I plan on doing in my life.

I really don’t think there are much better things in life than riding motorcycles with your best friends and family. It’s always a nice reminder that this life and the world we live in is beautiful, especially when riding through North Georgia on a fall day, looking over the sea of colored leaves smelling the burning wood through the crisp air.

If you don’t ride motorcycles, you should try it sometime. I highly recommend it.
