    Northwestern Mongolia, October of 2015. Definitely one of the very best motorcycle tours I’ve ever done, and a place that has been on the top of my ‘need-to-go-back’ list since that first time. It will happen; I just don’t know yet when.

    Not being able to play with America as his favorite toy anymore, this total disgrace of a president finally decided to try and destroy it. The proverbial spoiled rich brat: if it can’t be mine, it won’t be anyone else’s. It’s hard to stay positive after seeing this fool’s followers storming Washington DC earlier today,…
