Shaun and I were scooting along through the hills of So-Cal. I was stopped to flip my page of directions and suddenly we spot a scooter. Then another and then a whole friggin pack.
Those guys were riding through wine country to raise money for a cure for breast cancer. We just happened to pass them. […]

You can imagine my excitement over the past two weeks-presenting two wheel journeys to you while preparing for my own. I’m exhausted yet in a very calm state of mind. The work that I’ve put into preparations for the past couple of months taken shape. Thank you to every kind person who has helped […]

4 horsepower
By: admin on: Apr 28,2008 In: 2 Wheel TravelI’m behind posting the daily long distance rider, so I will post a couple today. Here is a video for you, weighing in at 10 minutes-maybe a good thing to watch during lunch break. The trip was 6 days, 1,400 km-a respectable little trip on a tiny scooter. The steed? A Honda Today, a 49cc […]
I owe y’all one about two wheel adventurers. Today’s guy truly has a lot of Seoul, coming right out of South Korea to the U.S. His modus operandi-see America and drink a lot of beer. Oh, and catch crabs-for dinner. I’m just amazed by this guy and so are his allegiance of fans on the […]
There were a couple of entries and photos not documented. WARNING: this entry is twice the length of my typically long travel blogs. Maybe enjoy in two parts.
I came across a box from OKC as I was packing up my stuff in preparation for the ‘08 Sc00t. It contained some items sent ahead to […]

Above are the first women to cross the country by motorcycle, Avis and Effie Hotchkiss. This duo braved a land still inhabited by real Cowboys and Indians; a land devoid of Starbuck’s monuments and, gasp, good roads. Seeking no fame nor fortune, they completed the tour to the Pacific in four months, […]
If this guy can do it….
By: admin on: Apr 23,2008 In: 2 Wheel Travelwas the persistent echo…..urging me into the belief I could ride cross country on a scooter.
I, too was the owner of a 49cc Honda Metropolitan. When I found Laird Van Dyck’s (brief) account of his 9,000 mile cross country ride-it was all green lights. Without furthur ado:

Mopeds and Sasquatches
By: admin on: Apr 22,2008 In: 2 Wheel TravelOk, it is day 4 of two wheel travelin’ tales. I’m presenting one that you just couldn’t make up. The story over at Crappy Little Dreams is hypnotic, hysterical, totally original. I only hope to keep my travel tales as interesting as this fellas-he’s really got that mopeder, off-the-cuff spirit. This is one of the […]
Picking a helmet
By: admin on: Apr 20,2008 In: 2 Wheel Travel Tonight I had a lot of lofty goals to accomplish on what has been a laid back Sunday.
Instead I started poking around on the internet to find today’s long distance scooterist. (LDS) Four hours later, I’ve blown off my other tasks, but am literally reeling from all the captivating, weird stories out there. I […]
To Guatemala, 1975
By: admin on: Apr 19,2008 In: 2 Wheel TravelToday, in honor of two wheel exploits, to be continued until my departure, I’m sharing something PJ Chmiel sent to me.
He discovered this newspaper clipping through www.scooterbbs.com.
No one really knows anything about her or escapades from her trip. Just the purpose.
In 1975 a lady from Tulsa, OK decided to promote the transportation alternative of her […]
One thing I discovered last year while riding a scooter 11,000 miles is that hundreds, thousands of people have taken the road less traveled. They have flung themselves away from comfortable homes, onto the road where they must constantly redefine their comfort level. Everywhere I went someone told me about so and so doing […]
WALL OF BELIEFS
Add your own...-
I have become convinced that I have the power to transform the world into one that is free of domination. I believe that all it takes to transform the world is for me to transform myself into a more mature, responsible, and loving person. That’s all I have to do, nothing more than that, nothing less than that, and nothing is more important than that transformation. When I change my inner world, my external behavior shifts to match, and I become a creative source of systemic change.
Moreover, if I can do it, with my history of dysfunction and wounding, certainly you can do it. The ripple effect from this transformation is immeasurable, and it has the power to stimulate the largest institutions of repressive domination to implode. This turns conventional thought on its head, and would appear to be insane to most people, a kind of megalomania, which it is not, it is the exact opposite of megalomania. It is acknowledging our critical participation in energetic systems far larger than ourselves.
I do not accept that I am the victim of the military-media-corporate-government conspiracy. I am 100% responsible for it, another apparently “insane” idea, and yet what I mean is that I am 100% able to respond to it. I have an answer. I have more than one answer. Having a better idea is far more effective for producing social transformation than recrimination and revolt. Very soon the world will be ready to hear hundreds of thousands of people who have transformed themselves internally to be the change, and not demand the change from some external source.

The genisis of Peace occurs when, with humility, I begin to truly see others as my brothers and sisters.
Gary Leu -
Peace is helping strangers in need....and knowing in your soul it is the right thing to do.
Take care Alix...it was nice that your journey crossed ours.
Tony Simonelli -
Peace is accepting people for who they are and not what you want them to be. Peace starts with one person and ripples through the rest of society.
Faith Simonelli -
peace is achieved when we gain the ability to find tranquility and quietness within ourselves, then we will radiate this out to the world.
JoniJett -
peace is the outcome when we use wisdom and patient self-restraint during conflict.

When my life has ended
And my time has run out
My friends and my loved one's
I'll leave there's no doubt
But one thing's for certain
When it come's my time
I'll leave this old world
With a satisfied mind

Peace is non-aggression, non-dominance. It's love in action.
