Phantom Bobber
In 3 years and 57,000 miles I’ve beaten the absolute hell out of this motorcycle. It’s been dropped multiple times, rear-ended twice, and sideswiped. I’ve worn out 2 different sets of extended foot pegs with the 3rd pair having seen better days. For over the first year and a half of ownership my 2013 Honda…

Born Free 2022
Currently, there are 43,000 miles on my Phantom’s odometer and she definitely looks the part. Earlier this year I thought about cleaning up my bike’s appearance. The tank is beat up on both sides and the paint is faded from multiple spills at the gas pump. It’s been dropped multiple times for various reasons. Except…

The bottom line: Jalen Hurts
Everyone has setbacks of some kind. I have experienced setbacks. You have experienced setbacks. Jalen is no different. Being benched at Alabama changed his life for the better. Let’s address some issues that many people have brought up about Hurts. “No other starting quarterback has ever been benched at Alabama.” No other starting quarterback at…

Uber Date Night
I already know what you’re thinking. No, this isn’t some new form of speed dating or dating for Uber drivers. It has become quite popular for people who have had one too many drinks to call an Uber, particularly on a holiday but how about Ubering as part of a date night? I came up…

Fifth Gear Foodie
“It’s a motorcycle blog!” I chuckled at this message from an online friend. I gave my blog page another scan—Yep. After seeing title after title of motorcycle adventures I could see how someone could assume that my blog is only about riding motorcycles. The headline pic of Jay and me 2-up on an Indian Roadmaster…

Wedding Destination: Dubai (Part 1)
Saturday morning, 9:00am and not a single hint of a cloud in the Cobalt blue sky. The picture window view of the downtown Birmingham cityscape elicits a calming effect. We’re fully dug in on the L-shaped sectional sofa thumbing through our smartphones in search of Castle based wedding venues. On the flat screen is Tiffany…

All roads lead to one love
At the time I was dating several other women simultaneously in Florida, Mississippi, Georgia, Tennessee, North Carolina, Texas and Alabama for the past 2 years. Jay and I had our first date on the 13th of September in 2020. Before you let your imagination run wild understand that there was no sexual contact in any…

The 50/50 Relationship Explained
Yes, I know exactly what you’re thinking. Everywhere you look people are either saying there’s no such thing as a 50/50 marriage or a 50/50 marriage doesn’t work. The notion is both people should each give 100% in order for a marriage to be successful. Therein lies the fatal flaw in this philosophy. With the…

The 50/50 Relationship
I fully believe that two people who come together in marriage should have a fair and equitable responsibility in facilitating a happy, rewarding, and fulfilling marriage–PERIOD. To each is his or her own but I don’t believe in a marriage where the husband is the sole financial provider. Nor do I believe in the old…

Wills Creek Winery Ride
I’ve been so busy going on about my Rogue motorcycle camping journey I didn’t stop to smell the roses along the way, so to speak. Well, at least until Jay came into my life and made life for me a walk in the clouds. With that being said, the only thing better than riding cross…
