I was raised by wolves. Very kind, very nurturing wolves. I love riding to a town a just barely learned the name of on a Friday, making a decision at the intersection to get myself lost 1000 miles away from home on a Saturday, and trying to figure out how the hell I can get home on a Sunday. Just ride a place and see a thing.

The Easy Rider Inaugural Tour with EagleRider

Leave a Comment / Easy Rider, Rides / /

Exactly one week ago, about this time, I was sitting in the Court of Two Sisters, a   Restaurant in the French Quarter of New Orleans, wondering where the last 2 weeks went.

After 2 weeks of riding, I was pretty beat.   We’d ridden half way across the country,  But I really didn’t want it to be over.    Met some solid and quality people on this trip, got to tell  about the movie that I love and spend years figgering out, and had the longest stretch of riding I’d ever done at one time.   Basically, I just had the best time of my life.

I was going to do this post each night on the road, but I wanted time to think about it some.    Even one week later, I’m still not sure I’ve digested it all.

So anyway, going to take this day by day, as I remember it, starting over 3 weeks ago.    Ill get through as much of it as I can.   A post a day, for the next 15 days should cover it.

To me, it was the best time of my life.   I wanna do it again.

here’s a primer:

We rode all of it, and then some.

I’ve found that most people don’t want to do the hard things

Leave a Comment / Random Thoughts / /

life is a motherfucker.    You can laugh all you want about it, but we all get hit with the hard things, at least anyone who’s lived out of their parents house more than 20 years.

Do the hard things.   Face your fears.    I’ve found, in my short life that The hardest things are usually the right things.   The right things make you the happiest.  Thats the truth.

Even if your voice shakes, speak the truth.   Even if your legs are weak, walk toward the right thing.   Stare them bitches right in the eyes, even if you don’t know why.    Its how real men get strong.

That’s my take on life.

A fine toast to the Doolittle Raiders. The greatest of the greatest generation IMO

If you know your history, you know that this raid meant nothing strategically.   It was a message, and I got to think these men bore that weight,   accepted it, and flew off that carrier anyway.

now there are 4 of them left.   Great men.     What i’d give to sit down with just one and hear the stories.

Pretty moving.
