On a recent trip to New York, luck had it that Tom Cutter was having a garage sale at the same time I was passing through where he lives in Pennsylvania. I stopped for a few hours and Tom regaled me with some stories from his motorcycling life.

I recently had to go to New York for a work trip. Rather than take the train though, I decided to pack up the sidecases on my trusty R65 and get some camping and exploration in. On the way, I stopped at Tom Cutter's place, where he regaled me with some stories from his youth and career. You can see the full interview on my channel if you're interested. I've also linked it in this video. I will ...

We got some bizarrely warm weather recently, and it just happened to be the same weekend as a tech day up in Maryland. So I hopped on the bike and rode up to hang out with some other airheads and to change the oil and seals in my front forks! If you have an airhead and want to join days like these, you can join the ABC at airheads.org. It's really how I've found others keeping these old machine...

Fall comes relatively late out here on the east coast. When Appalachia’s already lost all its leaves and the midwest only has a scattered few left on the trees, we’ve usually still got bursts of red and orange foliage. We also still get some decent warm days a bit later into the season. And this was one of those days-the sky was clear, the last few leaves were still worth seeing, and I decided ...

Every year in the late summer, I pack up my R65 and head back to my hometown to see my family. Along the way, I come across beautiful views, spooky cryptids, and a lot of rain. Music by Jason Shaw

I recently found myself with three weeks in between jobs to do whatever I want. Naturally, the first thing that sprang to my mind was to go on a road trip. So I laid plans to head south again since the weather was still intermittently chilly here in DC. This time, the final goal was Savannah. The weeklong trip that followed saw me visit a bigfoot museum, break down in the rain, find Venus flytr...

In search of some warmer climes as things get chillier in the Mid-Atlantic, I packed up my 1980 R65 with some camping supplies and checked the oil levels before setting out to tour the Outer Banks of North Carolina on a long weekend.

At the end of July, I decided I needed to get out of town, so I packed the side cases of my 1980 R65 and went on a five-day tour around Pennsylvania and the western and central parts of New York. Music by Jahzzar

Just a short jaunt from DC National Airport down to Mount Vernon on a 1980 BMW R65. No commentary, just some engine noise and pleasant scenery!

Doing basic maintenance tasks like valve adjustments and oil changes on old bikes is a contemplative task-something to do slowly, with a bit of music in the background, and beer at hand. You look after the machine and the machine will look after you. Not a how-to video, but just five relaxing minutes of changing the oil on my 1980 BMW R65.
