Arriving in Dallas road worn and with the Chicago salt slowly eating away and making for an unsightly FORKS Tour Van, it needed a good cleaning before facing the Dallas Fire Marshal and attendees of the Dallas Travel & Adventure Show. Slightly smaller than the show in Chicago, in Dallas I had more time to […]
Not much to report as traveling via interstate is mind-numbing and brain-dumbing, but when chasing time, it’s the best option. Yet, as I’m fond of noting, it’s always about “the places in between.” So when relegated to the traveling and following the white line tarmac—I make the time to stop, breathe and check in with […]
For those of you who haven’t followed, I’m currently “on tour” speaking and cooking up delectables at the national Travel & Adventure Shows.

While my China travels seem a distant memory, I’m still challenged with a dose of wanderlust due to an inability to sit still for too long. As such, if you’re in the United States during the first quarter of 2016, it’s possible you’ll see me, Doc or the FORKS Tour Van, roadtrippin’ our great country. […]

I think the video says it all. So, after nearly some 7 months, I am reunited with my bike after it’s roundtrip journey across the great Atlantic to Shanghai and China.
