“So what would you want to win if you could?” Win? What? Win what? “Yea, say it was a series or a championship or something. What would you ideally want to win, if you could win it?” I left last season/ last racing post in sort of a cliffhanger, will he-won’t-he with racing, because literallyContinue reading “So Ducking Amped”

Putting things off until… never?
Okay, this is the umpteen millionth draft I’ve started, all reflecting half ideas and not seen through to post. Why. Several reasons. The present, most present reason involves a major life change/ plan fall through. It’s presently relevant, and sitting on the top of my brain right now, mostly because it just happened, so youContinue reading “Putting things off until… never?”
Ok, Last Race Post*
Okay, sorry for all the race posts, it’s kindof taken over my life this fall. Its been almost every other weekend for 2 months-ish, so that’s where I’m at. You clicked on the link, so you reeeeally have only yourself to blame. Where’d we leave off? Oh yea Broken, beaten, and scarred (mentally) Isn’t thatContinue reading “Ok, Last Race Post*”
The Other Racing Post
Greetings, I missed you! It’s been one hell of a 2 months. If you haven’t read my last story about racing, I recommend it. I almost killed someone. (Update on that: the kid is 13. He messaged me on Instagram. and… apologized for hitting me? I was pretty mind blown by that, considering how guiltyContinue reading “The Other Racing Post”
Sign Up. Line up. Mess up.
Hey Matt, how was your race? Kinda crappy. My seven hundred dollar gps unit that I bought to make my beta more fun on group trail rides, but is essentially useless during harescrambles, besides being a (I’ll say it again, for emphasis) SEVEN HUNDRED DOLLAR weight to my handlebars, broke off the mount and wentContinue reading “Sign Up.

Anecdotes from the past
Sorry its been so long since I’ve written. Actually, its been so long since I’ve posted. I’ve been writing this whole time, its just not for the public eye. Such a weird time in the world and my rantings on moto adventures aren’t really in season. But I was reminded of a funny story theContinue reading “Anecdotes from the past”
So Begins Chapter 3
Obligatory Coronavirus post. It’s not obligatory. I could write about anything. Its my name on the door, after all. I’m only really obligated to entertain you with the most genuine thoughts that come flowing out of my mind like a fresh hole in the bottom of a boat. My mind has been running smoothly alongContinue reading “So Begins Chapter 3”
OMG WHAT HAPPENED
Statistically speaking, this was bound to happen at some point… Adding up the mileage of all my motorcycles, combined with the knowledge I got my motorcycle license in September of 2011, you get about 80,000 miles of riding all over the country, in 8 and a half years. And yesterday, I had my first streetContinue reading “OMG WHAT HAPPENED”
“Wash”ington 100
This was a facebook post that i decided to immortalize here. I couldn’t really improve much upon this story, so its virtually unchanged. So there i was… Lined up for my first desert race. 3rd moto race ever (2019 Virginia City Grand Prix Saturday and Sunday were my first two) and first MRANN race. NoviceContinue reading ““Wash”ington 100″
Taste of Don’t Quit
“Matt, quit fucking with the map. We gotta go.” It was at that exact moment I began to think that Steve Kamrad was panicking. I was late to the adventure Thursday night. Driving through the desert on my way to Beatty, Steve and Josh were already out scouting the easy routes, while Cait explored theContinue reading “Taste of Don’t Quit”
