Making the decision to move from sportbikes and enduros to a Harley is not easy - here I document the rides, the reasons, and the insanity of it all. Can a forty something professional ride Harleys without being a cliche?

I've gotten more than one "performance award" over the years and pretty much deserved them when I was stopped. You play, you eventually pay.

Bullard's Bar Loop



Bullard's Bar Loop - 120 miles, 4 hours, return thru Nevada City, Rough & Ready. See map:

Topography Bullard’s Bar

On a motorcycle you feel completely in contact with nature and all your senses are working. Yesterday, the sense of presence is overwhelming. That concrete whizzing by five inches below your foot is the real thing, it’s right there, so blurred you can’t focus on it, yet you can put your foot down and touch it anytime, and the whole thing, the whole experience, is never removed from immediate consciousness. Going from Yuba City’s flat valley to 3000 feet in elevation, the scenery changes from Scrub Oak to Dogwood, to Aspen, and then to Douglas Fir Pine trees. The colors around Nevada Union High School were picture perfect!
