about the author
I pretty much grew up on a bicycle (living in an area in Canada where it was a fair distance between houses), and also used one as my principal around-town vehicle when living in Cambridge, England. But these days I am more likely to be found on something a bit faster. My first motorized two-wheeler was a Lambretta TV 175 scooter, and after a few years on that, I "graduated" to my first motorcycle, a 650cc BSA Super Rocket (which, alas, was eventually stolen when I lived in New York City). Both of these classics are pictured below.
Ultimately I chose the shaft-drive dependability of BMWs, and have ridden both the classic opposing twins and the newer "K" bikes. My current steed is a BMW K75s, seen in the photos above. It's neither the biggest bike I've owned, nor the smallest, but it seems ideally suited to my personal inclination to feel that I'm actually on a motorcycle, not a motor home on two wheels.

I currently reside in San Francisco, but travel a great deal (in fact, I author a popular Web site about travelling light, much of which you may find interesting, as it has applicability to the long-distance bike rider). Consequently, the best way to reach me is via . And I'd be happy to read any comments you care to offer concerning this site.
