October 30, 2006. Blue Ridge Parkway Recon…And More. 8212; motophoto @ 8:36 pm. Last weekend found me on the Blue Ridge Parkway. BRP) with a buddy from Tennessee. I’ve traveled portions of the BRP in the past but those car trips all focused around rock climbing or photography. Never before has the road been my destination. Through the trees a Great Smoky Mountain Railway. Train takes leaf watchers alongside the Nantahala River. Saturday started with a 50% chance of rain but by the time we reached Bryson ...

May 11, 2008. AZ Day 12 – Home Again…. 8212; motophoto @ 12:24 am. Well I believe I rolled off a million miles today. I still have rocks in my shoes from Arizonia. Drivin’ all alone down that lonely road. I’d call you but I’m almost home. Arriving right on time (I got to see what I can find). When I get to the other side (of that Georgia State line). My pride is swelling and how I try not to cry. You caught me in a Peach State of Mind. Peach State of Mind by. I’m home again in the Peach State. May 9, 2008.

May 22, 2009. AZ 09 – Day Eleven. 8212; motophoto @ 12:07 am. Shortly after the first Gulf War an enterprising researcher studying the effects of sleep deprivation on soldiers released a study that concluded a person doesn’t need to “make up” for missed sleep. That’s to say, even after going without sleep for forty-eight hours a soldier functioned fine if he only got eight hours of sleep. My plan for tonight is to get a lot of sleep and then head to Duluth in the morning with no pace in mind. After d...

July 27, 2008. 8212; motophoto @ 3:17 am. So here’s the the first “new” post in what is becoming the “alpha” stage of my web site. I guess I’ve used the “beta” site for long enough (too long? And so it’s time to move forward. The plan is to integrate both my blog and web site into a single site, hopefully with a decent domain name. For the time being this wordress.com page will suffice. (more…). Moto’s Most Read Stuff. AZ 09 - Day Twelve. Moto’s Old Stuff. Fish’s Life on 8th Street.

Just a collection of random pictures I’ve taken on my travels that appeal to me for some reason, known or not. Rounding a corner west of Big Bend National Park I saw these three tee pees used as roadside shelters. Though built in the early eighties they reminded me of 50s kitsch so I had to stop for a pic. Well, I had to pee anyways. Leave a Comment ». Feed for comments on this post. Leave a Reply Cancel reply. Enter your comment here. Fill in your details below or click an icon to log in:.

March 20, 2006. Off To See The Dragon…. 8212; motophoto @ 2:08 am. After my post about my last little incident. I needed an excuse to create a new post. Well, that and I needed to put new risers on the bike. The perfect opportunity arose when a friend in Tennessee offered to help me with the work! We meet outside of Athens, TN, and had lunch with his wife at the Country Patch, a meat and three joint served cafeteria style. Mmm, good! In 1951 James was bought by AMC and production ceased in ’66. We return...

March 18, 2007. Cold as a Dragon’s…. 8212; motophoto @ 5:13 pm. Ice coated trees along the Cherohala Skyway on the North Carolina/Tennesee Border. I woke up in Louisville, Kentucky. After meeting Bama and his bike Friday night I went to bed before making my route plans for Saturday. Another friend who accompanied me had to race a snow storm back home to Chicago so I was free to ride solo and so after a lite breakfast bagel I decided to ride home via Deal’s Gap and the Cherohala Skyway. The temperature ha...

May 23, 2009. AZ 09 – Day Twelve. 8212; motophoto @ 1:46 am. Warm temps this morning were deceptive as within an hour it began to cool and the skies threatened rain. Riding in and out of a few small showers I didn’t waste time putting on rain gear and simply plowed through. My gamble paid off and within two more hours the weather had again warmed and the skies dried up, eventually showing some blue. My objective today was to get fitted for a one-piece Roadcrafter riding suit. 2 Comments ». I’m amaz...

April 29, 2008. AZ Day 1 – A Foul-Mouthed, Ill-tempered, Middle-Aged Man. 8212; motophoto @ 11:39 pm. Time for a road trip! Next on the agenda is a twelve day trip to Arizona to meet some friends for a ride across the Coronado Trail followed by a wandering path back home to Georgia. I don’t have any good overall shots yet but I’ll try to take a vanity pic of the bike over the next week. For the time being, here’s a couple pics of the trunk and new lighting. Another new tech-toy along for this trip is bra...

May 10, 2006. 8212; motophoto @ 2:36 am. After a week of anticipating a ride into the mountains along the TN/NC border I awoke to a Sunday morning with grey clouds raining upon my roads. A quick glance at my schedule showed Tuesday to be free so I shifted my plans back two days. I’m testing out a new GPS unit on the bike so I would also be playing with it during the ride. It’s big and ugly but will serve my needs well on a future bike. When approaching from the south Deal’s Gap Motorcycle Resort. I also ...
