Denny Villhauer, Dave Lau and I celebrated Father’s Day the right way on Sunday. That is, we rode our motorcycles. This wasn’t a long, multi-state trip like we did in April when we rode to Texas.

OK, time to get those bikes cranked!OK, it’s time to get your bikes out for good this week. I’m no Cody Brown, but I predict that the weather has turned the corner and it will continue to get warmer and warmer until we’re in prime riding weather. It happens every year.
Indulge your wanderlust this winterIt was cold and sleeting recently, one of those days where, if you venture outside, you regret that choice two steps from your door. With little else to do, I indulged in my favorite winter activity. I hunkered down with a hot cup of coffee, opened my road atlas and dreamed about motorcycle trips.
