Hagerty’s “Why I Drive” Series

Why I drive. It’s an interesting thought to ponder, don’t you think? Not the basic, obvious answer of why I drive—like, to get places—but more specifically why I drive a vehicle that requires thought to drive.

Babes Ride Out 5

  October 27, 2017 – I wasn’t going to write about Babes Ride Out 5. I’ve blogged about the event before–even shot a segment for NBC–so what more could be said? Besides, BRO isn’t easily captured in words. Heck, I didn’t even take my camera (other than my iPhone) because I simply wanted to enjoy…

MotoLady Fifth Anniversary

DOWNTOWN LOS ANGELES – Alicia Elfving (aka MotoLady) had a party celebrating five years of her hugely successful female-motorcyclist-focused website, MotoLady, and invited me to show the Chromester in her first ever All Women’s Motorcycle show.
