• Alaska Motorcycle Odyssey  

My trip to Alaska lasted seven weeks and covered 10,000 miles. I traveled through Alaska on the Alcan Highway.  I also flew and hiked above the Arctic Circle. It was the trip of a lifetime.

• Arizona Motorcycle Riding...The Petrified Forest...Land of Stone Trees and Psychedelic Colors

Visit Arizona's Petrified Forest with me.  Here the trees have been turned to stone and you're surrounded by sand and earth streaked with vibrant colors.

• Death Valley Motorcycle Riding...the Amargosa Opera House
  

When heading to Death Valley, I "discovered" the Amargosa Opera House...a cool artistic oasis thriving in desert's scorching heat.

In 1968, Martha Becket became this unique theater's creator, driving force and savior. Here's the story...

• Hudson Valley Motorcycle Rides...Check out Bannerman Castle, an Amazing Scottish Fortress on the Hudson

Bannerman Castle was once an arsenal that held military weapons, equipment and explosives.

This huge, deserted edifice resembles a misplaced chess piece standing in the Hudson River. Here's its story…

• Italy on a Motorcycle...See it Along the Beautifully Twisty Amalfi Drive Above the Mediterranean

Italy’s Amalfi coast is famous for its food, stunning landscapes and turquoise sea.

For motorcycle riders, a great attraction is Amalfi Drive, one of the world's most beautiful coastal highways. Ride it with me…

• Motorcycle Rides in NJ...Visit Mettler Cemetery, Where a Young Life is Remembered

Mettler Cemetery seems like most rural cemeteries. But it's not. For no clear reason, a young girl buried here draws people compelled to pay their respects 150+ years after she died.

Here's her story...and a video visit to her solitary place...

• Motorcycle Rides in New York...Go to the Woodstock Festival Site

The site of the world famous Woodstock Music Festival that took place in the small town of Bethel should be on any list of great motorcycle rides in New York. Long after I'd experienced this event, I returned to the vast green field where it all happened. 

• Motorcycle Riding Companions...Choose Yours Wisely

The people you ride with can spell the difference between a fun trip and a tedious -- perhaps unsafe -- experience.  

Here's my two-cent's worth of info to help you choose compatible traveling partners...

• The Best Colorado Motorcycle Ride? Many Say it's Along the Million Dollar Highway

Million Dollar Highway is a scenic high-mountain road and an curvy motorcycle ride.  It connects connecting the old mining towns of Durango, Silverton, Ouray and Ridgeway. It's perhaps the best Colorado motorcycle ride. 

• Where's The Best Motorcycle Road in New Jersey? Try Old Mine Road through the Delaware River Valley

Old Mine Road is a winding thread connecting the Delaware River valley's beauty and history. For me, it ranks among my the best motorcycle roads in New Jersey. 

But, much of what you see along this track was going to disappear under nearly 200 feet of water.

What's in a Story?

I'm sure you know that even short motorcycle trips -- as well as extensive journeys -- can generate a wealth of riding experiences, observations and learning opportunities.

My key objective when writing motorcycle stories and my own road-tales is to give you enjoyable reading.

It's even better if I can pass along info you can use to sharpen your riding skills and increase your riding enjoyment or help you to travel more safely and comfortably.

And maybe I can put you onto places you'd like to check out.

You May Have Read My Articles Elsewhere

Many of my motorcycle stories and travel articles have appeared in "Backroads" motorcycle touring magazine, and "Motorcycle Consumer News."

Some were published in my "Suite101.com" Internet motorcycle touring and travel column.

They describe all sorts of incidents and encounters I've experienced during many years of two-wheel travel.

And I'm still adding to the list.

Read on…and enjoy…
