SIMI VALLEY, CA – Much as I love them, my spotlight-lovin’ motorcycles have been dominating this blog, but I can’t blame them. While Bondorella gets her weekly exercise, she hasn’t had any grand adventures lately, nothing thrilling enough to write about. I mean, how many times can I say “my truck is so pretty”? (She…
Seligman AZ to Orange CA… the round-a-bout way – Total Trip Mileage: 2734 Remember on Friday when I said: “And this will be the last vacation post. There will be nothing worth writing about tomorrow.” Well… I lied. As usual, my amazing feller kept the fun going. Instead of blasting home on the 40 as…
Mexican Hat, Utah – Seligman AZ – 285 miles (2185 trip mileage to date) Okay. So you know how sometimes it’s easy to get so caught up in the moment that you can’t imagine breaking the spell? That was the case today as we rode through Monument Valley and why we never stopped for pictures…
Green River Utah – Mexican Hat Utah, 217 miles (trip total 1900) I was thinking, as we rolled through the too-exquisite-to-describe Glen Canyon, just how different an experience the car behind me must be having.

Orange California – Winslow Arizona – 554 miles In August of 2009, I took my first “big ride,” two weeks on a motorcycle, 2400 miles, the scariest road I’ve been on even to this day, and by far, the most intense storm. It was… amazing. If you’re bored sometime, check it out. Every now and…
Well… we’re back in SoCal now after a great, productive week in Winslow and we miss the Motor Palace already. Sadly, the tile guy wasn’t able to do the bathroom while we were there so we didn’t get to stay in the building, but we still made tons of progress. I’ll leave you with way…
