We all lead at some point in our life. We serve as leaders in our jobs, in our communities, and in our families. For many, being a leader means having the power to control others. Those who take this view eventually find that the more they try to control people, the less influence they have over them. For others, leadership means being in a position of authority. Yet, a man can be a leader even if he’s on the bottom of the totem

It's a painful rule of physics: Two objects cannot occupy the same space at the same time. Still, various bits and pieces of life's detritus have a habit of periodically materializing right where you're planning to be in the next few seconds. On the mean streets of Boss Angeles, we've dodged some wild stuff: charcoal briquettes, innumerable mashed pets, a leather couch and even one very misguided canoe, sans canoeist. With maybe a second and a half to decide what to do and no second chance,

Crater Lake run.Fire up the time machine and go back a month. Elvira pulled duty for the business run to the Northern Oregon Coast during the first part of the week. Sophie got the honor of taking Katie and I to Klamath Falls, deep into Southern Oregon. Here's some words and pictures from that run. We rolled into Klamath Falls about an hour before sunset Thursday night. A big sport-touring bike has this wonderful attribute of being able to eat up miles in a most entertaining way. What would be

I’m a little mad today: I saw that “Hell Ride” was playing in limited release at a theater near me last weekend. Unfortunately the timing wasn’t right and I was unable to go. I checked the same local theater near me today, only to discover that it’s not playing anymore. Not only is it not [...]

Overlooked biker moviesYou?d think the freedom of cruising down the streets on their Harleys with leather-clad hot mommas clutching them from behind and the wind flowing through their mullets would make bikers some of the most peaceful, docile creatures around. But, as far as Hollywood would have us believe, these bearded behemoths are violent, speed-loving sociopaths, whether it's the drug-addled duo in Easy Rider or the lethal (and lethally dressed) scooter-riding Mods in The Who?s Quadrophenia. Riding in the sidecar of those classic biker movies is a gang of other

Here are Ten Simple Rules of Being Human. I cam e across these out on the cloud and thought I'd share them here. 1. You will receive a body. You may like it or hate it, but it's yours to keep for the entire period. 2. You will learn lessons. You are enrolled in a full-time informal school called, "life." 3. There are no mistakes, only lessons.

Is there anything worse than waiting for a shop to give your bike back? It's even worse when your bike is gone for more than a couple hours. Time slows. Every time you go outside, you see some lucky asshole on his/her motorcycle. The first few times a motorcycle passes, I might think something charitable like, "Great day for a ride, you lucky biker." After that, I start thinking less charitable things like, "Great day for a ride, huh? You lucky jerk, taunting me with your

I am not sure if Roomie was recalling a dream or merely a day-dream, but yesterday she mentioned that she was imagining herself riding a motorcycle really fast, not merely occupying a spot on the seat. It is just a sign of how far she has come from her long-held position of "no motorcycle rides, ever." I think the seed of her change was planted when we first traveled to Italy together, ca. 1999. She saw how the Italians had a completely different attitude about motorcycling, and that the maneuverability of
