Next time you’re in Denver, I should have the V-Strom rig sorted out…..

Redleg’s Rides

Colorado Motorcycle Travel Examiner

I don’t often physically rush through life, but I am often in a mental rush. And that is just as bad, perhaps worse, and I struggle to tame it. Riding a scooter does help but I often resist applying the lessons learned on the road to the rest of my life.

In terms of immersion, especially in photography, I think it is different for everyone. It’s possible to see in great depth in an instant just as it is to see nothing after weeks of contemplation. I guess the only thing a person can do is be honest about what they are doing.

Last, you fast riding, hardcore riders are not a bad influence. Quite the contrary — I live those activities vicariously through your writings and stories.

Thanks for your kind words of support. It’s always good to hear when people appreciate things.

To the casual viewer I seem relaxed and calm. But they can’t see the storm in my head…

I think Abell and Alard are outstanding photographers in part because of their focus on those quiet moments.

Thanks for sharing your experience and insights. When are you going back to Maine for more??

Sadly, I did not meet Abell. He was here on campus once I think but I missed him.

I thought you were patient when I met you. Were you just on your best behavior?

I do have Scooter in the Sticks business cards that I hand out to people when they ask about the Vespa or riding. Just a reference to the URL that they can visit.

Slowing down is a really difficult goal to achieve. I’ve been at it a long time with minimal success. But I am moving in the right direction.

Thanks for your comments here. I appreciate hearing your thoughts.

As far as the second part of your comment goes it sounds as if you are trying to rationalize your reckless disregard of posted speed limits. I have to admit that it would be pretty cool to listen to you try and convince a judge of the merits of speed as a relative concept.
