Surrendering the Harley

Today I had to return the bike to the shop. I really enjoyed the time we shared on road and I loved riding in Utah. When I was planning this trip I must admit that I was a bit nervous about what to expect; the availability of fuel; riding on the right-hand side of the…

Utah by bike – Moab to Park City

It’s 3am and I’m sitting here at the servo, the BOM website has the current temp at under -1, the bike is fuelled up and the start receipt safely tucked away, all my warm gear on. I’m ready to head. Where’s Russell?
