Tales from the Saddle

Every rider has a story to tell. Some begin with a first bike that changed everything, others with a road that disappeared over the horizon, and a few with adventures that could only happen to characters like Betsy and Vi.

This is where they all come together. You'll find true tales from my years on two wheels, memories from rides and tours, reflections on motorcycling life, and the occasional fictional adventure when imagination takes over. Some stories will make you smile, some might make you think, and a few may even inspire your own next ride.

So grab a brew, settle in, and enjoy a collection of stories from the road—real, imagined, and everything in between.

 

“The most important thing is to have a good relationship with the bike… you have to understand what she wants. I think of a motorcycle as a woman, and I know that sounds silly, but it’s true.”

-Valentino Rossi
