Periodically we receive feedback from editors of motorcycle e-zines who've graciously cited the activities of Sunday Morning Rides in articles covering the use of GPS systems. The latest such mention appears in the Canadian motorcycle enthusiast newsletter, In the Saddle.ca. More...

I think all motorcyclists are adventurous at heart. It's why we choose the open air over riding around in a sterile steel cage. Mountain Boy's spirited dual-sport jaunt over the California mountains and down into Nevada desert struck a chord with all of us here at SMR and that why we choose his ride Big Nevada Loop as our April '08 Editors' Choice winner.

February 5th...the 36th day of the calendar year...a day typically overlooked in a month otherwise known for US Presidential holidays, Valentines day and the like. Well not this year...today February 5th is special! Yep...I know. It's Super Tuesday. A day where some of you will head to the polls and cast your vote for change, hope, life, war or whatever it is you happen to be impassioned about. It's also Fat Tuesday. The day where some of you will head to the streets to celebrate Mardi Gras and the end to the pre-Lenten Carnivale season. A pretty significant day indeed, but wait..there's more. More...

One of life's great pleasures will always be going on a ride with a group of friends. That's why we chose Grady Harris' Hwy 94 Loop as our December "Editors' Choice" winner. Sometimes there's simply nothing like the camaraderie of hanging with fellow bikers. More...

With the holiday season almost upon us, it's time to freshen up our gear reviews! Many of you enjoyed my summer write-up of the Kermit camping chair. Sure, the Kermit is well constructed and appropriately sized for touring, but some of you were...well...a bit taken back by the $120+ price tag. "Hardwood is nice, but for that coin I'd expect some carbon fiber or something!" Well for every luxury product there is often a practical compromise. I know the old saying "you get what you pay for," but sometimes paying less for a bit less is just fine. In this case, the Blue Max Saddlebag motorcycle touring chair is well...just fine...for quite a bit less. More...

Last week at SEMA, Garmin announced a partnership to deliver ride content to its Zumo and automotive GPS users with MAD MAPS (you know the guys who make those colorful posters that you have to unfold on the side of the road and then wad up). Perusing their press release, I was happy to see Garmin finally acknowledge "that the best way to get somewhere isn't always the fastest way." Glad they are finally seeing the light. Unfortunately, to see their MAD routes you'll have fork over some coin. More...

I'm sure most of you have already seen on the news that wild fires are buring across a large percentage of San Diego. It's already predicted that it will be larger than the Cedar fire we suffered four years ago. The low humidity and the strong 'Santa Ana' winds are only making the situation worse. More...

You all know we are ridiculously obsessed with moto racing and carbon fiber clad go-fast bikes. But, I'll be the first to acknowledge that there's just something wicked about a chromed out Road King that hits you over the head with American pride. So when Vegas calls...SMR answers. This weekend I loaded the sidebags and joined a couple hundred bikers in a ride across the desert to take on the Las Vegas BikeFest 2007 Rally. More...
