Suzuki DRZ 400: The Fedex Man Cometh
The Fedex man is always much more sexy to me when he comes with a box full of motorcycle parts. Or shoes. Yesterday morning he came sauntering in to the office real smooth-like and dropped off a mystery box for me. It turned out to be some bits for the DRZ. What’s Was in the Box? Unabiker...

Sights from the Road: McNulty’s Giant Ice Cream Cone
During summer evenings, the parking lot at McNulty’s is packed with families out for ice cream. Sticky-faced children mill around the patio leaving trails of drips and drops in their wake. When I passed by last week there was still snow on the ground and not a car in the lot. I’d never...

Long Island: Stormy Seas at Smith Point
Hot on the heels of some glorious weather last week, Long Island was hammered with driving rains and wind on Saturday night. Trees were downed, shingles were torn from roofs, anything that wasn’t secured down such as garbage cans went tumbling through the neighborhood. With the strong winds...

Motorcycle Photo: Where There Is A Will There Is A Way
Now there’s something you don’t see everyday. A Honda Civic pulling a trailer with 2 dirtbikes on it. Who needs a gas sucking behemoth here on flat Long Island to shuttle their bikes around? Love it!

Today marked a new chapter in the book of my riding life. Under the patient tutelage of some of the guys at ADVrider, I went on my first dualsport ride. Being a complete noob, I put myself firmly at the tail end of the group of bikes when we pulled away in the morning. As I focused on the line of...

Long Island: Where the Buffalo Roam
Long Island is home to some unusual residents. In the town of Riverhead, sits the North Quarter Buffalo Farm. Though the island seems like an unlikely place for them to thrive, the herd is said to be about 300 strong. Each time we are out that way I love to stop by and watch them from the road. A...

Winter Motorcycle Riding: An Evening at the Beach
Before dinner, I stepped out for short ride to take in what was a warm March evening. While the sun still shone I cruised by Cedar Beach and watched the waves roll in against the shore. There was no one there but me and two seagulls who were sailing on a current of wind. It seemed like they never...

Gratuitous Winter Motorcycle Photos: Suzuki DRZ 400
I thought for sure I would be in for a rude awakening heading out riding over the weekend without the toasty warm hug of my my trusty Gerbing jacket liner and handlbar muffs. I was pleasantly surprised that even though the temps were in the mid 30’s it just wasn’t so bad.  I found that even...

Getting to Know the DRZ 400: Have Suspension, Will Travel
On Sunday morning while the rest of the family will still sleeping, I rolled the DRZ out of the garage and set off on a local ride. Long Island is still in the grips of messy winter weather. There is a lot of accumulated snow piled up everywhere, sandy roads and with temperatures cresting above...

Baby Steps: Thoughts on Learning the Way of the Knobbies
The idea of riding on knobbies opens up a whole new world to me. I have no illusions of being some kind of motocross expert. At this point in my life I just want to be able to look at a gravel road or a dirt trail and instead of just wondering what is at the end of it, being able to easily go...
