Do you know what it would take to complete your dream trip? Have you really planned out how you would go about it, much time you would need, and how much money it would cost? If you haven’t, you might be surprised at how little it would really take. My Dream Trip I want to [...]
Even though it might seem that way, I don’t ride a motorcycle purely because of how much I enjoy it, or because it helps me to focus. I also enjoy the minimalist experience that a motorcycle provides. Note: Not all motorcycles are like mine. Some come with all kinds of accessories, such as automatic transmissions, [...]
I am not a fair weather rider. Apparently that makes me weird. Ms. Peeps and I ride no matter what. In fact, it doesn’t even occur to me that my wife’s car might be available for me to use. This can be a challenge Yesterday morning, in fact, turned out to be quite humorous. I [...]
I tried to explain why I like riding my motorcycle so much. I received some good messages about that post, and wanted to expand on them a bit more. From Brad: To me riding is more like walking or riding a bicycle, you smell every smell, you feel the wind, its just the road and [...]

It provides information about local trails, parks, and hiking groups. There is a forum, hiking advice, and much more! Since I live on the opposite side of the country from the [...]

Since I’m using my motorcycle as my main source of transportation I don’t listen to the radio anymore while commuting. I didn’t even notice is absence until one day I was listening to the radio at home and realized that I didn’t recognize a number of the songs. Since I only listen to one radio [...]
Who says you must eat your entire meal in one restaurant? Only the restaurant, who wants more of your money. Well, it’s time to break that “rule”. Sure, you might get some funny (or annoyed) looks when you order only a dessert. However, if that’s what the restaurant is best at, why not go just [...]
