One of the best rides that I’ve ever done: We left Toledo around 1030am for our first day’s destination of Frankfort, Michigan. It looked like we were in for light rain between Grand Rapids and Muskegon. Unfortunately, the weather built; and we ran into a downpour just outside of Muskegon. We geared up and continued [...]

As far back as I can remember I’ve owned a motorcycle. So did my father and brother. My first bike was an Indian 50. I’ve added a few years since then, but I still own a bike and appreciate a good ride on country roads to enjoy the scenery. I can even be found on [...]
Our annual 3 1/2 to 4 hour ride to the Blue Knights Maryland 1 Crab Festival started out as a normal one. But ended up turning into the longest shortest ride we ever embarked on.It took us almost 14 hours. One poor unfortunate rider developed a rear flat tire about mid way thru the trip. [...]
