Last November I busted my Baja cherry and enjoyed a solo ride around the northern parts of the peninsula, needless to say it left me wanting more (ride report). Well, it was now some six months on and it was time to go once again, and I was extra excited as this time I was [...]

Another Baja trip was looming and in preparation for the ride I wanted to add a few new bits on to my KTM. Unfortunately for me work sucked up more time than expected leading up to the ride leaving the mod work until the last minute before the planned departure, and while the modifications were [...]

The AMA Supercross series is flat out awesome and is hard to beat in terms of the excitement per dollar ratio, and this weekend they were in San Francisco at AT&T park for round #4 of the 2010 season. What’s more is that courtesy of Live 105, tickets in the left field bleacher seats were [...]

For long time now I’ve been an active forum member on Bay Area Riders Forum (aka “BARF”) and after nearly six years and over 2400 posts I was asked if I would be interested in helping out as a moderator, most specifically in the recently opened Adventure Riding area in particular.

Now that I’m hoping to create and post more motorcycle riding videos I figured I’d install a plugin here that would allow me to embed Vimeo videos directly within my posts. That plugin is Vimeo Quicktags and it’s now installed, so I’m here to wow (umm, maybe) y’all with a demo post! The video below [...]

At long last I’ve finally managed to bust my Baja cherry! Just last week I spent a total of nine days on the road alone, riding from San Francisco down to the northern half of Baja California in Mexico and have to say that it was easily one of the best trips I’ve ever taken. [...]

For the past two years I’ve been riding with a mediocre GPS set-up on my KTM and in preparation for a coming ride into Mexico I decided it was time to fix things. The changes I made were two-fold, the first was changing the mount location from being on the handlebars to being mounted on [...]

After a summer of missed connections I was finally able to time things right and get up to McCloud to enjoy a weekend of riding with the Bordens at “the property”. I’m now here to share my ride report and while it’s not chock full of lions, nor tigers nor bears oh my, it is [...]

Note: This is a post that I migrated over from my old thiggins.com website that I wanted to share here on higgyb.com. As a kid I remember hearing stories of my Dad having ridden motorcycles prior to me being born, but it wasn’t until a few years ago that he took up riding once again. [...]

Note: This is a post that I migrated over from my old thiggins.com website that I wanted to share here on higgyb.com. This isn’t a ride report nor some story about recent travels, but it’s something I thought was worth sharing anyway. A friend and fellow rider, Austen, previous sent a few of us a [...]
