Back at the barn, unpacking the bike

All this excitement on the John Hunt Morgan trail has me rethinking my efforts. Secondly, a look at the forecast for today and tomorrow evoked some concern.

The forecast for northeastern Ohio is low to mid 90s with humidity above 80%. Showers are expected. Some severe weather is possible. Tomorrow will be more rainy weather as the actual front moves into the area. I don’t mind riding in the rain during travels, but trying to produce something in the rain is another matter.

Consulting my wife, I decided to postpone the latter half until another day. I hope this is a good decision.

I headed home.–DBrent

A Conversation with Film Producer Dru Martin

Back in December, I wrote a review of an independent film, Get Lost: Oregon, about a group of adventure motorcyclists in Oregon back country. At the time, I was not able to talk with either of the producers, Brian van Buskirk or Dru Martin. But the promise was there to catch up later.

Just back from Baja, Mexico, where another film project is underway, co-producer Dru Martin takes time to talk about Get Lost: Oregon and has a few words about film project #2.

Dru talks about:

  • Response of viewers to the film
  • Building a team of riders and camera people
  • Preparing for the ride and the film making
  • The next film project (hint: it’s south of the border)
  • Info about the film at MotoventureFilms.com

A Conversation with Carla King, Miss Adventuring

Carla King, Miss Adventuring Carla King, author of American Borders and the Motorcycle Misadventure series, talks about her recent trip to China and her new online radio program.

King rode solo in China 10 years ago aboard a Chinese Chang Jiang, and returned this year to ride again, this time with friends. She talks about her travels and the motorcycle.

Noting that so many people have asked her how she puts together all of these adventures, she decided it was time to help others plan their own misadventures–the kind not created by tour guides. You can hear her program on Blog Talk Radio starting January 3rd.

You can hear the conversation with Carla King here, or download the program for your MP3 player, and take it with you.–DBrent
