Adventure used to mean stepping into the unknown.
Now it often means managing the known.
Something quieter this wk, how comfort, tech and expectation changed the ride.
If you care about the feeling of riding, not the features list, this one’s for you.

When you start riding, everyone has advice — most of it loud, and some of it wrong.
It's not bad intentions, it’s that myths spread faster than miles behind the handlebars.
So I pull a few apart: where they're wrong, and what the road teaches instead.

Beautiful bike. Wrong choice.
We don’t always buy the bike that fits our riding — we buy the one that fits our fantasy. I have.
This week I unpack why we chase the wrong motorcycle, and what it teaches us.

It’s been a week, but focus on the good: the Blue Ridge Parkway has reopened by the house. Take the wind as they come. #motosky #motorcycle #wnc

Day 19: Fled midges in Scotland, saw a swooping Red Kite, then crossed into England & rode to the Lake District for a woodland walk. Ended the day scouting trails toward Scafell Pike!

Always a sucker for a barn. Like most do, this weekend ended too quickly. But a nice one topped off with visit with family. Here’s to another week. Be well, #motosky

When you buy exactly one plant and then fail to, well, make any effort to keep it alive it’s time to take it up a level. Some Saturday evening hacking to keep the mind occupied. #raspberrypi #pisky

Two great rides in one weekend. I’ll take it! Explored some new roads and gained a little altitude. It also reminded me how close I am to the Tennessee border so I know my next milestone. Back to the grind on Monday. #motosky #motorcycle #wnc
