Today was a day spent at Leisure in order to show Max around LA. I have been coming here intermittently for the last 20 years and unfortunately, unlike most of the USA, I have never been able to say that this is a city I love or like. Yes, its got the mysterious aura...

Much Excitement as today was the first day of our ride. We unpacked all of the stuff that I had left packed in the panniers in 2015, discarded the things that were no longer required and packed leanly to ensure that we only took the things we needed as space is...

As is customary with any jetlag, we were up at 04h00 unable to lie in bed anymore. We dressed, and went for breakfast at 06h30 as we were both excited about collecting the bike since its been 2 years since I last saw it. We collected the fat girl from BMW Motorad San...

Max landed at Heathrow at 06h30. I was there to collect him for our “13h30” flight so we knew that we were in for a little bit of a wait. What I didn’t realise is that the flight was 3:30pm and not 13h30 as I had it in my mind so we spent the time browsing (not...

Happy Birthday my Peta. Our last riding day. So because we spent an extra night in Vegas(!) and had to be in LA by midday, AND still wanted to do Death Valley on route, meant that we had a 730km run to do and so working backwards, had us leaving the hotel...

It was supposed to be just 2 nights in Vegas. It was 3. Don’t ask! As awesome as Vegas is, my personal experience is that one is largely kept within the confines of your hotel, but I guess that this is purposefully designed to keep your dollars within their net....

Sedona is fantastic. I could move my family there, and so it was with some disappointment that we set out at 7am this morning for what turned out to be a very long but interesting day. Route 89A out of Sedona is considered one of the 20 best rides in the USA. It is...

We spent a fantastic evening at a small hotel called Molly Butler Lodge in Greer last night. It only has 3 rooms but it was fantastic!! The bar and restaurant is the centre of this very small town where everybody congregates and the bar and music went on well into the...
