I think he’s excited to be here ❤️

This is my Dads first real moto trip and he is already thinking about what dualsport to buy when he gets home. Making his daughter proud!

He doesn’t own a bike himself currently and the last bike he had he sold to buy my mother her wedding ring almost 40 years ago.

He even did his first wheelie ever a few days ago! It was by accident and his knee is a little messed up from it but hey! I still saw his front end go up past his head which nearly made me crash in surprise haha

What a guy.

Following the coordinates @moskomoto posted into the Alvord Desert today to meet up with the other hooligans!

Not sure what service I will have so if I go dark...see you on the otherside!

Been having too much fun riding around with this guy to do much posting.

Sorry y’all. Haven’t spent quality time with my Papa for actual years so we deserve a little disconnect together.

We have already had a beautiful adventure together and tomorrow we arrive to the Alvord Desert to hang with friends I have been trying to see for literally years. @moskoash @moskopete @moskomoto

So loving this time I get to share with those I love.

Don’t forget to give that to yourself.

She flies with Her own wings. Alis volat propriis.

Alis volat propriis.

That is the Latin phase written on the official seal for the state of Oregon. Pretty cool right?

And hell yes I do! They are red, gold, fiery and full of gasoline and gears.

Made it to Eugene, Oregon. Don’t like riding so many miles in a single day but I’ll do it since it’s for my Dad.
Was able to find him a moto thanks to the amazing @moskomoto community! Thank you Jeremy!

Tomorrow we go hang with @procycle.us and have a little meetup with some connections I’ve made through social media. If you live in the area let me know and I’ll send you an invite. 😎 Then we head over the mountains together to the Alvord Desert to @theunrally

Wait till you see my Dads sick getup!
Full leathers and a Vstrom.
Go Pops! 🙌

Photo of that for you all tomorrow!
Watch my stories for way more fun!

Headed to Oregon to meet up with my Papa @markssouthard who spontaneously bought a ticket to the west coast to visit me for his Birthday!

And and and!!!....We are going to the @moskomoto Unoffical @theunrally together!

So psyched to see my Mosko family and rip it in the desert with the coolest man I know.

See you tomorrow Pops!

If anyone has or knows anyone who has a moto my Dad can borrow for the rally, please write me! Thank you!

Today is packing day.
Tomorrow is leaving day.

Did a test ride to the beach last night and my bike passed all tests with flying colors.

Speaking of color...do you see that paint job!?
I’ll get a better picture for you soon but damnnnnn is she gorgeous.

Time to load up those @moskomoto bags and get the hell out of town!

Two eyes or not... today I put Her back together.

Two eyes or not... today I put Her back together. My bike has been apart for too long.

The doctor told me today I can ride even if my right eye isn’t healed. So let’s do this. It’s time to get out of this city even if it’s trying to trap me.

Yes, there is a Tesla coil in the shop I’m working at.

Let it’s lightening power run through my veins!
Activating superpowers.

What will this City give me this time?
I ask myself whenever I am here.

What fate and freedom will find me?

Each time I have found myself in San Francisco my life pivots on an invisible crux. I don’t know what way it will land, what direction it will turn me but I know treasure and travesty await.

An accident, a love story, a lawsuit, broken bones and blinded eyes; they find me eventually.

I love this City but we have a tumultuous relationship and I know the longer I stay, the deeper the rapids will take me and the harder it is to stay afloat.

I was in and out of the hospital this past week due to an accident while working. I got a shard of metal in my right eye that took two major extractions to finally find relief. Still my eye is not as it was, I don’t know if it will ever be but I try and look forward the best I can.

What now?
What of my plans?
What of my bike?
I cannot stay here, I know that much.
But where will I go?
How will I go?

Where will that needle land?
Blind; I await its decision.
But keep my one eye open for an escape.

Thank you @lindred_ for the beautiful music to accompany this dark and eerie San Francisco day. 🖤

I rode down the coast for a few days and turned my phone off to give myself a break from all the pressure of leaving and my bike woes.

It was just what I needed. Sometimes I can get in too deep with all that I juggle each day. I do realize how many of your messages and comments I haven’t written back to. Sorry everyone! Please know I will get back to each of you as soon as I can. And I thank you all for your patience, encouragement and advice. ❤️

This week is really crunch time if I’m going to get to @theunrally in time All of my efforts will be to make my new leave date on the 16th so I can party hardy with the @moskomoto crew!

Time to kick it into gear.

This was suppose to be a super happy post where I

This was suppose to be a super happy post where I tell you I installed the new bearings in my sweet golden swingarm and painted my bike red and everything was back together and I was on my way out.

But instead I’m here to tell the story of a failed bearing. Yesterday I was in the process of replacing the swingarm bearings. First one went great no problems, second one failed upon entry. I used the same method and everything should have worked just the same but it didn’t. A bearing needle became dislodged and even after I tried to save it, the rest became unstable and it quickly became apparent that its life was over.

It’s a holiday weekend so I can’t find a bearing or seal replacement that I need so I’m going to check out for a few days, go down the coast with a friend and give myself a little rest from all this struggle till I can make progress next week.

Who knows... maybe this broken bearing, this delay, in some way has saved my life unknowingly.

I like to think that way. And try and be grateful for that unknown regardless of its truth.

Crashing in my buddies metalshop till my @procycle

Crashing in my buddies metalshop till my @procycle.us parts arrive and I can put my bike back together and get out of here. Also so I can solve the mountain of unexpected tech problems that seem to have flooded my life.

Welding up a rail I design months ago and a few other things for the job that brought me back to the United States in the first place while I wait and resolve.

Next Friday the 11th is my final leave date. That will be much later than I wanted but I’m just gonna swing with it!

I am gathering a small caravan to head north with me first leg to Humboldt.
Are you free next Friday?
Wanna come ride north with me?
Motorcycle required. ❤️

When She is apart, I am apart.
But we don’t mind being broken open.
Our adventure lies in how we put each other back together.

In the shop and in the wild.
Part by part.
Pieces by piece.
Story by story.

@moskomoto holds my life.

I may have left my apartment yesterday with no replacement.
But my home stays with me regardless.
These bags and my bike are my home.
The only two constants throughout these years in the ever shifting story I call my life.

My love and gratitude for the support Mosko Moto shows me is overflowing.

The first place I am going when I leave here next week is to see them.

Thank you for everything you do as people, friends, riders and the incredible culture, spirit and family you have created through your inventions and innovations.

Thanks for keeping me together #reckless80 and being my constant companion wherever I may roam.

Love you guys! 💋 @moskoash @moskopete
Can’t wait to see you soon!
