I was supposed to leave Kanab today. Said my goodbyes last night, packed stuff up, and then insomnia hit. It felt like I had been injected with caffeine. I have not slept at all, so I am going to stay put today and leave tomorrow. Not what I planned, but the best decision.
The glamorous life of a road dog. I have avoided laundromats for 35 years and the only thing that has changed is the price of a load! But this will occupy my afternoon and I can start home with clean clothes. Of course a white sock hid itself and ended up in the dark load.
I ride motorcycles, I live motorcycles, and I write about motorcycles. Both of my blogs are written for motorcyclists: atomicshovel.blog tells the never-ending story of my 1974 Harley-Davidson FLH, which I have named the Atomic Shovel. My other blog coachk.home.blog is written for riders of all skill levels, but is primarily aimed toward the rider who is transitioning from the riding range where they learned basic skills, to the open road. This blog address the most common questions I see in the online groups and forums: dealing with anxiety - yes, that is the number one question, navigating traffic, parking, holding your bike on an incline, just to mention a few.
Much of what I write is simply drawn from my own experiences - successes, failures, do-overs. Nothing in either blog should be construed as the absolute one and only approach; rather, look at them as a starting point for your own discovery process.
