Road trips

Thursday 24th Apr 2025

I've had the pleasure of taking many cross-continental road trips over summers in conjuction with working as a seasonal National Park Ranger. I have also had the benefit of taking those rides on a variety of brand cruisers (Honda VTX, Yamaha SCL Raider and Indian Scout).

Although I have yet to take my 2023 Triumph Bonneville cross country, I can definitely verify that it has been the best and most comfortable ride for the innercity potholed streets of Chicago than any cruiser or previous scooters I started out with 25 years ago.

I'm Riding for Men's Health in The Distinguished Gentleman's Ride

Sunday 20th Apr 2025 On Sunday the 18th of May 2025, I'm riding in The Distinguished Gentleman's Ride with fellow men and women across the globe to raise funds and awareness for prostate cancer and men's mental health on behalf of Movember. Men die on average 6 years earlier than women and for largely preventable reasons. The number of men that are suffering is growing, and we need to do something about that. So, before I press my tweed and polish my boots, I'm asking you to join me in raising funds and awareness for these causes by donating what you can for this meaningful cause and to help the men we love, live happier and healthier lives.
