Racer Josh Herrin gives a thumbs up with what might best be described as a bemused look in the paddock at the Indianapolis GP in 2014

Congratulations to Josh Herrin on his Daytona 200 win today and to Kayla Yaakov on her podium, first ever for a woman in the 200!

First off, I love these, a great way to start the day and I am really looking forward to hitting 50.
Second though, I think this one may be wrong, 27 days ago wasn’t January 27.

Love mine, sorry this one was subpar. Best community I’ve found in riding is around these bikes.

Wonderful day out on the motorcycle today in the Victoria sunshine.
Took a new to me motorcycle out for a test ride, unfortunately, it was much nicer in my dreams, in reality it sucked pretty bad.
But this is why we test ride these things. πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ

In The Rock 1/24/1994: Straight outta Cincinnati, Throneberry release their debut LP, β€˜Sangria’ on Alias Records. It’s a great listen, if you’re lucky enough to find it; they transcend the prevailing indy noise scene of the era, grasping for something more, and reach it. #Throneberry #RockHonorRoll

If your New Year's resolutions/intentions include disengaging from screens at least a little, you're close-ish to Cincinnati and you're interested in motorcycles or karting at least a little come on out and support Lawrenceburg Motorcycle Speedway in 2026. Good times, good folks & great racing!

One of the highlights of my visit to Ukraine this fall was the Time Machine Museum in Dnipro. This clearly grew up out of somebody’s garage and is absolutely fantastic! Mostly soviet era vehicles with a healthy dose of ephemera and curiosities. This is what Putin wants to destroy, culture.

As always, racing & watching flat track at Lawrenceburg Motorcycle Speedway was a highlight in 2025. Such fun & such a great community. I have learned so much riding flat track & encourage anybody that’s even mildly curious to give it a try. You don’t need to be fast to have fun, I’m living proof!

2025 was another good year of motorcycle riding and racing. One of the highlights of the year was getting together with friends from the XR 1200 community to go riding in and around the Smokies like we do every year in May. Highly recommend these bikes, these folks and these roads!

When it’s too cold or snowy to ride on the street it’s time to break out the dirt bikes. Even the alpacas are intrigued. The Talaria works great in the cold and is a blast in the snow. So much fun!

Super cool chopped Dnepr (I think) and Zaporozhets car repurposed for decoration seen in Kryvyi Rih last month. These are our people & they’re being murdered by a war criminal. If you’re in the US please consider calling your reps to voice your opinion on the capitulation we’re proposing.
