http://israelgillette.blogspot.com/2014/04/april-fools-rush-in.html
Two Wheels Future Uncertain. Thursday, April 10, 2014. April Fools Rush In. He's greedy, and he is putting everyone at risk. It's the right thing! In this instance, apparently, "The right thing" was seizing my motorcycle and having it crushed for lack of insurance. Sacre bleu! The fog, which accompanied the cold, produced a properly Dickens-esque setting for my walk. Oxymoron's aside, my first thoughts were concerning his seriousness. I was, in fact, looking a bit grizzled, having run at a dizzying p...

Two Wheels Future Uncertain: The Bolivian Death Road
http://israelgillette.blogspot.com/2011/08/bolivian-death-road.html
Two Wheels Future Uncertain. Monday, August 22, 2011. The Bolivian Death Road. As has oftentimes been the case during this trip, fate held alternate ideas than my own. I drove off the Altiplano and the clear weather gave way to thick mist as I descended into heavy clouds. The moisture was dense and though it wasn't really raining I was soaked. In wet darkness I saw some heavy road equipment parked. S marked "Cola del Diablo" which isn't Death Road, but Tale of the Devil was close enough. I have 5 days to...

http://israelgillette.blogspot.com/2013/07/open-spaces-and-fallen-walls-difference.html
Two Wheels Future Uncertain. Wednesday, July 10, 2013. Open Spaces and Fallen Walls: The Difference Between the Stasi and NSA. Edinburgh Castle circa 2010. The cheapest motorcycle trip across Europe ever. A very late sunset from the Isle of Skye. Perhaps I should publish a rider's guide, "Wheelies made easy". 4000 miles in the U.K., top to bottom and east to west. I'm just gettin' started! It most appealing that there would be no one waiting to beat me when I did so. Ah, I could definitely live here.

Some Things Change and Some Things Don't: Part II. If you look very closely, it says, "you're screwed". My time in Vienna stretched on and on while my van's tags remained within the 13th district. My new friend, Chris, was busy photographing the scene as I engaged some of the Arab contingent in conversation. "They are always doing this to us! I undertook t...

Two Wheels Future Uncertain: 125 MPH in the Custody of the Queen: A Scottish Holiday
http://israelgillette.blogspot.com/2014/04/125-mph-in-custody-of-queen-scottish.html
Two Wheels Future Uncertain. Tuesday, April 29, 2014. 125 MPH in the Custody of the Queen: A Scottish Holiday. It felt good to hear the North Sea waves crashing on the beach and sense the slap of cool, rushing, wind as I sauntered along. I had nowhere to be and there were castle ruins on the horizon. My goals for the day were to be flexible and simplistic, a good fit for me I figured. One foot in front of the other, look around, repeat. This fellow looks to have a pretty good arm. He must play cricket.

Two Wheels Future Uncertain: A Capricious Son and a Difficult Mother:The Story of Israel and Russia

Two Wheels Future Uncertain. Sunday, August 18, 2013. A Capricious Son and a Difficult Mother:The Story of Israel and Russia. Now there aren't too many East Tennesseans that can claim to have several close friends throughout Europe, much less one that a certain Washington County sessions court judge once proclaimed the worst criminal in his courtroom, but I do. It seems that my brand of assertiveness is more accepted in recently communist countries than in the land of the free. Lucky Me! Ten years on, I ...

Two Wheels Future Uncertain. Monday, May 20, 2013. The Long Road to Siberia. As many of you may already know, a sedentary life is not to my liking, and the complete monopolization of my time by studies has resulted in an accumulation of nervous angst. The moment I finished my last final I returned to the road, but not in the typical fashion. Some deliveries are nicer than others. THERE HAVE BEEN A FEW. This is what -3F looks like.
