    Making new friends along the way: this big fellow was going about his day when I crossed his path, and I stopped for a little chat and a couple of photos. He was a good sport and didn’t mind my presence for a little while, and seemed rather curious about my bike. The ‘Italian White…

    My still-unnamed Hertz Ride BMW R1200GS at the famous ‘Passo dello Stelvio’, on a route that crossed four countries on the same day. In the Alps, you cross countries easier than you cross counties in the US. The Stelvio is another ‘cult’ road around here, so this iconic mountain pass on Italy and Switzerland’s border…

    Dreaming of faraway lands… Cape Agulhas, South Africa, in September 2014. This is the geographic southern tip of the African continent and the beginning of the dividing line between the Atlantic and Indian Oceans. Another fantastic place to be revisited when the world reopens.

    A good motorcycle tour should include one, two, or even more rest days for the riders to take a break from intense days on the road, depending on the trip’s length. Instead of staying one night on a given location, the tour stops there for two nights in a row, allowing the group a full…

    A motorcycle tour in Eastern Siberia and Northern Mongolia. 16 days and 8 riders. A few months ago, I was asked to lead the group for Ayres Adventures, and I knew right then it would be a trip to remember forever, to use the old cliche. What I just didn’t know back then is if…

    After the BMW MOA meeting in Billings, Montana, I felt rested and anxious to get back on the road once again, as I knew I would be traveling through some incredible places. I knew some of them already, like the Beartooth Hwy, and some others I wanted to get to visit for a long time.  My  route…
