Motorcycle Road Trips
In June 2025, I set out from New York City on a 10-day, 2,066-mile motorcycle journey to the BMW MOA National Rally in Lebanon, Tennessee and back. The ride covered 8 states—NY, NJ, PA, MD, WV, VA, KY, and TN—and brought me through fog-shrouded mountains, sweeping backroads, fierce rainstorms, and brutal summer heat.
I’ve documented the entire journey in a five-part video series. Each episode captures a different leg of the trip—from the early excitement of leaving NYC to the camaraderie of the rally, and finally, the long, sweltering ride back home. I hope you’ll watch them all.
Over 112 days, I rode through 28 U.S. states and 3 Canadian provinces, visiting 32 national parks and covering more than 18,000 miles of desert, canyon, forest, coastline, and mountain roads.
It was the dream: twisties, overlooks, wildlife, roadside BBQ, and endless horizons. But it was also rain, hail, heat, and hard questions—about where to go, where to sleep, and how to keep going. It challenged me in every way.
This road trip changed me—in all the ways I’d hoped, and a few I hadn’t expected.
