A new stage..

I suppose it was bound to happen. My riding hobby began on the dirt a couple decades ago and is not returning to the dirt. Or dirt roads at least. It's always been a goal of mine to go to Alaska and do some exploring. Our family has history in Alaska (my uncle was involved in the building of the pipeline - something I did not learn, unfortunatly, until his passing) and I've always found the concept of this huge piece of America, detatched and seperate but still part of this great land, alluring in some spiritual way.

So, it was with joy that I discoverd my longest and closest friend had secretly been researching and considering the exact same thing. And so it was decided that as soon as one of us purchased the bike to make the trip the other would as well and we'd get about the business of planning and executing one of the biggest adventures in our lives. Riding motorcycles to the Arctic Circle.

Of course I plan to take my camera gear and shoot a lot of what I hope to spectacular shots of our last 'frontier'. Check back in the coming weeks as planning get's underway and especially throughout the trip I hope to be able to post some pictures from the road. :)

PS: - The MotoGP photos are still uploading to my image hosting service, Here. I promise I will brain-dump about THAT exciting trip in another article.

Check out my new MX5 Racing Blog

Lots of things going on since I last posted. One of them has been a big effort to campaign my company sponsorted Autocrossing car.

I have created another blog to document my experiences with a very old but very competitive 1990 Mazda Miata purchased last winter. MX5NEWS.COM is the name of the new domain that is hosting this blog. Head on over there and check it out. It will likely be as if not a lot more current than this blog (which I really appologize for letting lag for SO long now.. been a BUSY BUSY summer).

Lots of news coming though about my trip to photograph the return of MotoGP to America, happenings in Monterey's Cannery Row surrounding the event and meeting Dan Gurney!

Stay tuned!
