Hello, thanks for stopping by.

This website was created to store my maps, photos and notes about the various motorcycle trips I take. I discovered that I had misplaced or lost information about several trips I had taken over the years. Now I save them on this website so I always have them. I know very little about creating a website, so please don't be too critical of my efforts.

The Riders

First, let me tell you a little about myself. My name is Robert and I've been riding motorcycles most of my adult life. I live in Willow Park, Texas which is about 15 miles west of Fort Worth. My main riding partner is my oldest son, Mark. He has been riding for several years. He lives in Arlington, Texas which is home of the Texas Rangers and the Dallas Cowboys. We've made numerous trips together over the last several years.

This year I'm getting some new riding partners to add. My wife is going to start riding with me because we now have a Goldwing. Also my sister and her husband are going to Colorado with us this year on their new Goldwing.

Riding History

I'll try not to bore you with a bunch of rhetoric, but give a little background about our riding. In 2006, both Mark and I started riding again after about a two year break. We went the sport touring route this time. I bought a 2006 ST 1300 and Mark bought a 2006 FJR. We really enjoy long motorcycle tours. Previously, we both rode Harley Road Kings. Mine was a '99 model and Mark's was a 2000. We made several trips to the Four Corners rally that was held every Labor Day weekend near Durango, Colorado as well as numerous trips to the Texas hill country. I didn't care much about the actual rallies, but it's a great location in Colorado. Any direction you go from Durango has some great riding. The last three times we went, we only spent a couple of days in Durango. From there we made a big loop thru Wyoming, Utah and Montana.

Our most recent long trip is now included here that we did in 2008. It was a tour of Colorado. We pretty much covered the whole state. We saw some great scenery and I have included over 200 pictures along with the route maps. Go to "Trips" and then down to "Long Trips" and select "Colorado2008".

I have now traded my ST for a 2009 Gold Wing so my wife can ride with me. She didn't like riding on the ST. Mark can't make a long trip this year because of job reasons. So my wife and I are planning another trip to Colorado (I can't stay out of that state). My sister and her husband have also bought a new Gold Wing and are going with us this year. This will be a different kind of ride for me because of the different type bikes and having a passenger. I'll post photos, route and a narative of the trip when we return. We're leaving from my house on 8/29 and will return the following Sunday, 9/6. Can't wait.
