This evening (afternoon for those of us on Pacific Time) catch me on http://sidestandup.com/ and please join in the live chat which is always too much fun.
Less than an hour into the show I'll being talking with Belfast-based journalist, motorcycle adventurer, author, and humorist Geoff Hill about his books including Way To Go (Delhi to Belfast
on a Royal Enfield plus Route 66 on a Harley) and The Road To Gobblers
Knob (Chile to Alaska on a Triumph. He
just completed an Adelaide to Adelaide dodging wombats on the world's
longest national highway Australia's Highway One and he's busily writing about that, too – can't wait!
But first, Ted Moyer Director of advertising for the BMW MOA will be stopping by for his monthly update. It's time to get your machine ready to head to the Pacific Northwest only 3 days away in Oregon.
Then there's me and Geoff … and then stay tuned because:
Craig Vetter is back again with Tim Yow talking moto design an effort to produce motorcycles with more range on less fuel. Craig sees a connection between "living better on less energy" and our national security.
World rider an adventurer Tiffany Coates will be on, too.

That first journey was supposed to last nine months but I ended up crossing four continents and spending two and a half years on the road. I was truly bitten by the bike traveling bug." Tiffany has covered several continents and a hundred thousand miles since then. Her strong spirit and love of adventure has endured her through some real tough times, including in her own words: 'being pursued by angry mafia in Nicaragua, chased by elephants in Zambia, threatened by the military with guns in Iran and being mugged in Caracas.
