See those two helmets on my bike? That can only mean I had a passenger for a change. I woke up to a phone call from my 6 year old nephew yesterday morning. He wanted to hang out with me so badly whil...

And for today's ride, I rode with one of my brothers of the road to South Boston Speedway........

I can never seem to change these on my bike without scratching my rims a little. That might have something to do with me not warming my new tires before installing them. No front stand available, so...

People in my line of work usually have a nickname or call sign to go by when on the job. Some of us carry that into our off-duty lives. I'm one of those. They called me 'Cide Rider for a long time. Th...

I had to exile myself from Botetourt County and Allegheny County in Virginia for a while. Last night I returned. With two wheels and high performance everything right out of the box - not to mention a...

I know I said I prefer riding alone, but a late Friday night and a forecast of scattered showers cancelled my long solo ride. Then I heard this group was riding a shorter distance, so I made an except...

I can't think of a better way to wait out a passing train than a quick photoshoot of my bike beside that train....

After a series of weekends with short rides or no rides at all, I finally got to use my bike again. Still not a pleasure ride since I had a specific destination in mind each time I went out with it, b...

Ok. So I didn't actually go touring with my bike, but it was at least 2 1/2 hours round-trip for my ride today. I expected to be hauling some things including, but not limited to a new pair of boots (...

I recently posted about aspiring to know how to do the foot down turnaround. Honestly, I want to know how to do everything that has anything to do with drifting a bike. It turns out, I have a few prob...

This land in the background of these photos is where I learned to ride on my cousin's dirt bike when I was 12. (It was really just a crash course in what the controls did, and I was on my own to figur...

Look what I just got returned to me today!...

I had a short ride, so I decided to wear my open face helmet. It was only 3 miles..... I've never worn this helmet at 45°.... I turns out that even though my bike runs great at that temperature, my bo...

One thing I quickly discovered about what's so great about motorcycles when I bought mine 8 years ago was how easy it is to park wherever I want. Today I was given the task of closing the gate to the...

Check this out! I just found these old photos of my first bike. I couldn't legally ride it on the street. But I'd always wanted a dirt bike, so buying this thing as cheap as I did was a no-brainer for...

So I got my idea of how to be a biker mostly straight out of Hollywood. Think of all the depictions of bikers on choppers or post war bobbers clad in blue jeans and boots with a t-shirt likely with th...

It's not perfect, but it's clean again. I really let way too much time pass between washes this time. Hopefully I don't let too much time pass between rides now....

So it looks like I might have to delete this account and restart it. Kind of a long story, so bear with me. I put in for a deletion of my Facebook account which was how I signed up for this site. Now...

I got to make it home from my job today. What a pleasant surprise and the perfect opportunity for an oil change....

I've been waiting almost two years to ride his road. Yesterday was the day I finally had my chance. (I had looked it up on a map, and saw that the route was extremely squiggly in some spots indicating...

I'm starting to get more rides in that I can actually enjoy. Come on Spring!...

25° as I approached the top of the hill leading to this gas station. (23° on the final stretch before I reached my house). I wanted to post more pictures to really capture hold cold it was like the sh...

Almost the end of December in my corner of Virginia, and we caught a day that was warm enough to actually enjoy riding our machines. All I have is this shot of our bikes back at his shop....

It was actually 30°F at the oldest point on my ride tonight. Some of those close to me say I'm nuts to ride at this temperature. I say that's what layers are for. And as an added bonus for tonight,...

The weather was as nice as I hoped it'd be this weekend, but I didn't get to join the party with my bike until late tonight when I had to run an errand. That said, I didn't get to ride the road I want...

It's getting colder, but from what I understand, today would've been a great day for a ride if I'd been home....

I keep seeing all these cool graffiti shots. This here is probably the best I have from one of my favorite spots in Roanoke....
