BONER 2003

The plan was to meet at Denny's in East Greenbush, NY, just outside of Albany. Four of us met up in Bristol, PA the day before and had a sunny but cold ride up. More...

Americade 2003

After a nice leisurely ride up to Diamond Point and checking into the hotel, DJGoody showed up, as if on cue, on his blue Bandit. After dropping the luggage, we headed into town to check things out and eventually met up with BlueMax and MWT, both of whom I met in Lake George during Americade 2002. Just to show we don't discriminate, BlueMax and MWT brought along FJoe on his Kawasaki ZRX, and Sinops on his CBR600. After a few minutes of "talking bikes" in the parking lot, it was off to the Lobster Pot for dinner! More...

IBA Coast to Coast in 50 Hours

By Mike Goodwin.

For many years I have travelled many,many miles on motorcycles and have never tired of such antics. When I was about 15 years old I bought and still have a copy of a 1969 CycleWorld magazine of a couple of riders who on a bet rode 1,000 miles in under 24 hours. As a young guy that was some pretty heady stuff reading about these guys riding day and night thru the California mountains and deserts. So as time increased as well as money,not to mention motorcycles in the late 70's being very reliable, these things were finally in my young grasp. Then in the mid 80's I started hearing about the IronButt Rally around America and was of course very intrigued. Then a few years back I earned my way into the IronButt Association by doing one of their documented rides.

Thus, this story begins. More...

Americade 2002

It was barely a month before the opening celebration of Americade 2002 when Paul invited me along. He already had a room booked at the Adirondack Diamond Point Lodge. I had never been to Americade before and Paul had everything ready to go; how could I refuse? More...

CBR600FSport Ride in the Azores

Shortly following the catastrophic attack on the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001, the United States military activated many National Guard and reservists such as myself. I soon found myself on the fringe of Operation: Enduring Freedom (I prefer the original name, Operation: Extreme Justice), and was given open-ended orders to the Azores, a small group of islands in the Atlantic Ocean, belonging to Portugal. Being a relatively small island - we drove a car around the coastal road in an hour and a half - there was very little to do. There were, however, a few motorcycle dealers that managed to make a living there. This gave me a chance to ride a little while I was deployed. More...

Delmarva Bike Week, Sept 2001

In a more peaceful U.S. of A., in the days shortly preceeding September 11, 2001, I joined a pair of online friends for a day-trip to visit the First Annual Delmarva Bike Week near Ocean City, MD. More...
