Hello and welcome to The Motorcycle Ride.

This is a story of the road, some trails, a man, his bike and the journey.

What is the Ride?
Well, it started off as a ride that should have taken place when I was 18, almost happened when I was 28, but is finally happening now. The original ride was a 2 week jaunt to Nova Scotia, the next a ride across 22 states west of Ohio, and it has just snowballed from there.

I started this as a record of the trip, but it has turned into a collection of all my adventures. I hope to inspire some to go out and do whatever it is that you always wanted to do. I am not wealthy and work more than I let on. But the difference is that I play hard. I know it’s a cliche, but once you start, who cares what it is.

What began as a motorcycle trip, has become a big part of my life. I have met many new friends, visited many cities I never even thought about going to, and lost a few fantastic people to cancer and more. It doesn’t always revolve around bikes, and that’s how life evolves.

One thing is for sure, you get addicted to the lifestyle. There is a saying I have heard many times now: “We spend tens of thousands dollars, to live like hobos”, and it is true. Most of us love camping for weeks on end, go without showers for days, sweat, freeze, and everything in between to do the thing we love, and that is to RIDE!
