Welcome to my website,  Blacktop Horizon.  I'd like to share with you my joy of making something from nothing, of motorcycles, architecture, camping, travel, machines, and people. 

Motorcycles are beautifully designed and engineered machines that carry us through time and space on a thin blacktop surface into an unknown horizon.  It is along this thin ribbon of highway that we reflect, dance with the elements, and discover ourselves and the world. 

I hope to celebrate the joy of the road, the beauty of nature, the grind (and the sweat) of riding motorcycles, and experiencing all that is before us.  Motocamping and traveling to new and sometimes familiar places will be how I set forth in motion.  I look forward to telling stories, hearing your stories, and drawing lines through places in between. 

See you on the blacktop horizon.

Hard to believe that a motorcycle from 1993 is 30 years old, but I did the math and it checks out.
