Blog / Vlog - Two Wheeled Travel

Hello world!

Welcome to WordPress. This is your first post. Edit or delete it, then start writing!

Today marked the beginning of our next longer trip. As it has been a tradition, we always depart from home in the rain. Luckily, we got a reprieve this year and had decent weather after our first stop.

It was good to catch up again, discuss life and its never ending changes. Not a whole lot to talk about this first day.. Just getting started..

Rubber side down.

Weather the Weather

by David Brown

We are less than two weeks out from our next adventure. It is worth mentioning, as few people talk about it, the weather. Motorcycling brings storms; rain, snow, lightning, wind, etc. Being prepared for them is being ahead of the game.

It is more than just preparing for a little bit of water, falling from the sky. It is about being prepared to handle the worst case scenario. Not only will you have to battle the elements if you are caught in them, you will have to battle yourself. Be mindful of fatigue and ego. Know when it is time to pull over and seek shelter. It isn’t worth getting tired, complacent, and then making a mistake on two wheels.

Be prepared to weather the weather. Sometimes that means staying put for a bit. Sometimes that means strapping on a rain suit and powering through. Don’t let the ego make the decision.

New Year, New Adventure, New Site

by David Brown

While we were surprised at the success of the past two years of two-wheeled-travel; we were also encouraged to continue it by all of the support it garnered.

In the first week of reporting on our road trips, we gathered 300 subscribers. That number has continued to grow and has been a humbling experience. Two years later, we are close to 6,000 subscribers. It has been an awesome experience getting to share our stories, thoughts from the inside of a helmet, and ride destinations.

This year, we decided to update the site, dump the old content and start with a clean slate.

Since we started this adventure, we have blasted through 4 motorcycles, 25,000 miles, and visited 20 states.

Thanks again for all of your support; we can’t wait to get back on the road in 2017.
