Rogue Zulu Cross Country
Though I have a YouTube channel called: “Fifth Gear Foodie” I go by numerous road names. Some call me Romulus while others call me The Bandit. All nicknames earned. Nevertheless, and for the purposes of this blog I am Rogue Zulu. The name Fifth Gear Foodie came about because I want to eventually develop my…

Rogue Motorcycle Camping Vol IV
You can’t get any better than this. Even though it was over 106 degrees the excitement of going full fledge solo motorcycle camping was so exhilarating I hardly noticed. Plus it was a dry heat, which feels much better than sweating your soul away in the humid heat of Alabama. This would have been the…

Rogue Zulu Nation
It has been almost a year since I took my motorcycle camping adventure across country from Birmingham to New Mexico, and life has been a whirlwind since then. If you had told me back in 2002 that I would have a host of fans across an entire state that either lived vicariously through my motorcycle…

Managing a long distance online relationship.
Over the years I’ve had several long distance relationships across the U.S. and around the world. Distance was never really the issue of why they were relatively short-lived. The recurring problems were not having enough of a suitable pool of people to choose from, running into too many people who were habitual online daters, and…

On The Run
Bucket lists are for people who think they can fulfill life’s desires in a finite amount of time. I prefer to call it my lifelong journey. This sounds cliche but at 48 years old I don’t just feel like a man half my age I lead a life of a man half my age in…
