One of the best parts about being any kind of enthusiast or hobbyist is the community that will quickly embrace you. And that’s something fans of the biker lifestyle can always feel when they get out and travel. To that end, we’ve put together some of our favorite motorcycle events across major regions of the […]
If you ride a V-twin and live in North America, you’ve heard of Sturgis, South Dakota. For 77 years, if you believe the mythology, thousands of bikers – 99% of them on bikes are Harleys or want to be Harleys – have made the pilgrimage to Sturgis to not act their age, enjoy the company […]
Waxers. One Percenters. Citizens. Weekend Warriors. You name it, we’ve made up a term to describe it. From Panheads to Crotch Rockets, bikers may not have done too much, but we’ve damn sure got a label for everyone and we don’t do a good job of mixing with others. You don’t see street bikes rolling […]
In the last post, I told you guys about the Boozefighters Club in Southern California and how the club had burned down. Even worse, that they did a ton of charity work and when the clubhouse went, a load of their charity donations went up in smoke, too. That got me to thinking (never a […]
It was bound to happen, and it did. Riding down some forgotten two lane blacktop in south Nebraska, I came up on a fellow Harley rider broke down. Barfly was his name, and like me, he’d been riding for the better part of his life. He’d gone a lot of different ways than me – […]
Well, Sturgis is in the books for another year. I had a helluva good time, met some old friends that I hadn’t seen in years, made some new ones that I probably won’t see for a few more, and now am taking the scenic route back from South Dakota to Georgia. What do I think […]
Alright, I’ve been in town for two days and it is insane. One thing is for sure, rallies like this will make you fat! I swear, every time I turn around, somebody has a breakfast, a concession stand, or an excuse to get something to snack on. Maybe that’s why there are so many fat […]
You know, I’ve been keeping a little diary of this road trip from South Georgia to South Dakota and trying to share a little bit of the journey and, with the exception of the heat and the traffic in Atlanta, Georgia and a suicidal bluejay in Missouri, it’s been a fun ride. Sure, I’m a […]
Alright campers, the other day, I told you how I’m driving to Sturgis and, just like I said, I made it to Nashville with no issues. Oh, I hit the usual traffic in Atlanta, which if you know anything about Atlanta, Georgia, you know that traffic there is bad any day that ends in “y”. […]
Well, I figured I’d go ahead and document my ride to Sturgis this year, especially since I’ve gotten the crazy idea to drive it on my bike. For the four of you that regularly read my column, you know that it’s a long ride – about 1,750 miles, and that I’ve shipped all my “vacation” […]

Since it’s inception in 1984, the Annual Motorcycle Toy Run in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada has been a yearly success. And this year was no exception. The Edmonton Motorcycle Toy Run was founded by Pete and Jan Steeson back in 1984 after vowing to organize one after participating in a similar event in Brighton, England. The First […]
