A man stands contemplatively in front of a motorcycle. Text in the image reads "Moments we keep"

A ride leaves you with a handful of frozen moments. The bits your mind hangs onto when you get home. It's how psychologists say we experience the road.

This video traces my ride from Junee to my home via four of these #motorcycle moments.

I don't do a lot of midweek releases, but this one was overdue.

Real-world review of the self-contained Aoocci U6 nav unit. Two months on the Himalayan, rain, heat, flat tyre warning and all.

Adventure used to mean stepping into the unknown.
Now it often means managing the known.

Something quieter this wk, how comfort, tech and expectation changed the ride.

If you care about the feeling of riding, not the features list, this one’s for you.

“If it moves your soul, then you’re in the club” is a great quote. Great video.

YouTube video by Two Wheels In The Bad Advice That Gets New Riders Hurt

When you start riding, everyone has advice — most of it loud, and some of it wrong.

It's not bad intentions, it’s that myths spread faster than miles behind the handlebars.

So I pull a few apart: where they're wrong, and what the road teaches instead.

Thanks! This is western NC. Marshall NC is where this picture was taken

Taking the sunny days whenever possible. #motosky

Some interesting sights

Joeys bagels next to a blue helmet

A view over the handlebars looking toward some fall foliage

Long road with some farms to the right

More fall and hills

These are a few of my favorite things #motosky #wnc #fall

YouTube video by Two Wheels In I Bought the Wrong Motorcycle (Here’s How to Avoid It)

Beautiful bike. Wrong choice.

We don’t always buy the bike that fits our riding — we buy the one that fits our fantasy. I have.

This week I unpack why we chase the wrong motorcycle, and what it teaches us.

Alright just a few more from todays fun run #motosky #wnc

I don’t take these rides for granted that’s for sure.

Honda Sabre at Mt Pisgah

View from Mt Pisgah

View from Mt Mitchell

Had the day off and rode to both Mt Pisgah and Mt Mitchell via the Blie Ridge Parkway. Kind of chilly at the summit of Mt Mitchell but well worth it. Hope to post more later. Enjoy your weekend #motosky! #wnc

Feel better!

Some dork who needs to keep his magazine subscriptions in check.

I didn’t choose the moto life, the moto life chose me. #motosky

Road with small hill/mountain in the background

More road with blue sky with clouds

Shady road with rocks to the side

A barn set back a bit in a field

Enjoying this simply beautiful Sunday in #wnc. #motosky

I didn’t know about the blueskyartshow tag. Some pretty cool shares there

This is truly super

Looks… epic sums it up well

Well, my getting lost is on a much smaller scale than your getting lost, this video rang true. Just the other day I turned down new road only to be disappointed when it connected to something I already knew. Thank you as always for sharing!

What part of Asheville was this take. From? Great picture.

Getting lost on a motorcycle isn’t failure—it’s freedom.

Amazing sky in the pictures. Thanks for sharing!

Fantastic!

It’s an 84 v65 recently back on the road after being out of service for too long

About a year ago (almost to the day) hurricane Helene came through and we saw a lot of damage from flooding and landslides. The blue ridge has had a lot of reopening this past month so that’s been exciting to see www.nps.gov/blri/planyou...

😲

I’m not entirely sure TBH the map I normally look at seems to conflict with some other sources, but I *think* I can take it from Elk Mountain road through to at least Mt Pisgah
