A crazy story of love, war and motorcycles. I created an occupation/lifestyle where I travel endlessly to my favorite places. I write about and take pictures of what moves me the most.

Some people 3D print cool gadgets in their kitchens. The Colorado River hydroformed a subterranean mountain range across northwest Arizona. When nature says "hold my beer", it wins every time and shows off painting sunsets across its work to help us marvel at it. #grandcanyon #canonphotography #southrim #sunset #arizona #lightroom #outdoors (at South Rim of the Grand Canyon, AZ)

Sedona is beautiful- even the sinkholes have grand pianos in them and the sign figures for loose rocks are depicted wearing suits and bow ties. You fancy, huh? #sedona #arizona #soldierspass #hiking #canonphotography (at Sedona, Arizona)

The Boat House at Waneka Lake Park: epic sunset tonight and I finally brought the camera out to catch the end of it. Some of the best sunset walks in town. #canonphotography #wanekalake #lafayettecolorado #sunset #boathouse #outdoors #sundayfunday #colorfulcolorado (at Waneka Lake Park)

Trail Ridge Road is closed for the season... like there's snow up there or something. I guess we'll have to keep it below 12,000 feet until spring. #rockymountainnationalpark #colorado #trailridgeroad #motoguzziv7 #buellblast #2mileshigh #motophoto (at Trail Ridge Road)

Halloween is one of those holidays that has evaded me all but twice in the last decade. I even bought loads of candy for the house once and got called in to babysit a superior.... yes- even that's a thing when it comes to my luck. But not today, Satan!!! #happyhalloween #bouldercolorado #skeletonsinthecloset #boogieman (at Boulder, Colorado)

Just found this pretty sweet bike. Looks like the previous owner rode himself to death. Anyone have any recommendations for what to do with u identified skeletons? Also, what's the best way to clean spiderwebs off a bike? #happyhalloween #motoguzziv7 #trickortreat #bouldercolorado (at Lafayette, Colorado)

Looking for advice: just found this sweet motorcycle. Needs a bit of cleaning up. (at Lafayette, Colorado)

It's that time of year again: when the weather on the Front Range becomes fragile and the weather in the Rockies becomes unforgiving. One mile makes a big difference when it's vertical. #rockymountainnationalpark #bearlake #colorado #fall #canonphotography #2mileshigh (at Bear Lake, Rocky Mountain National Park)

When your favorite fabricator starts waving projects in front of you like "pick one". I need a truck but can I test drive my options first? 💁🏼‍♂️ #fordf7 #shelbycobra #replica #colorado #vintage #oldtruck #restorationproject (at Brighton, Colorado)

Same time every year- two miles high on Trail Ridge Road over Rocky Mountain National Park. The sun looks closer for a good reason. #rockymountainnationalpark #2mileshigh #trailridgeroad #continentaldivide #fall #colorado #afternoondelight #lensflare (at Trail Ridge Road Rocky Mountain National Park)

Took Mi Scusi Moto Guzzi up to Rocky Mountain National Park this weekend. I think she liked it. When you bring home a rescue, give her a a good life. Thanks to @rockynps for keeping the high road open for us a bit longer this year. #rockymountainnationalpark #trailridgeroad #12000feet #miscusi #motoguzziv7 #lavacliffs #motorcycle #colorado #rideinthesnow (at Trail Ridge Road Rocky Mountain National Park)

Hell of a sunset tonight. Then again, it's good here almost every night. Even better by motorcycle. #eldoradocanyon #bouldercolorado #colorado #harleydavidson #ultraglide #sunset #fireinthesky #eldoradostatepark #motorcycle #cvo (at Eldorado Canyon State Park - Colorado Parks and Wildlife)

Ran into a familiar face today @ericomotorsports when a GT1000 winked at us in the service lineup. She's a Cali girl who hitched a ride to the mile high a couple months ago with your's truly. Small world. Also, @roninmotorworks and @norton.motorcycles for effects. I could sleep on a cot here and be happy. #47ronin #roninmotorworks #magpul #ducati #gt1000 #motohubusa #ericomotorsports #denver #milehigh #motoculture (at Erico Motorsports)

The 47 Ronin: the last warriors of their kind that could not survive because their talents were worth nothing beyond times of war and the reign of their master. @elcidmarine said he knew where to find others like us so we went to visit them today. #roninmotorworks #47ronin #denver #colorado #motoculture #sundayfunday (at Ronin Motorworks)
