Keep ‘Em Flying – What I carry on tour, February 2016 Many of us turn to Matt Parkhouse’s airhead maintenance column, “Keep ‘Em Flying,” before reading anything else in Owners News. It’s not just for the technical expertise and instruction, but also for his stories about his trips to Mexico and how he over- comes obstacles along the way—including 11 flat tires in one trip!
Carl Reese Rides America, July 2016 Everybody knows a Carl Reese. That man or woman who isn’t satisfied with routine and can’t seem to ever stop planning or sit still. The actual Carl Reese did a stint in the Army, then settled in California and raised both a family and a business from the ground up. When he regained his dor- mant passion for riding, he did so in an epic fashion—by setting the world record for crossing the U.S. from Los Angeles to New York City. After a single demo ride on a K 1600 GT, he knew that was the bike to use for his record-setting attempt, and eight weeks of hard training led up to his ride. Meticulous planning wasn’t enough to achieve his goal, but through hard decisions and perseverance, Reese set the record, riding from LA to NYC in 38 hours and 49 minutes.
Honoring a Son, February 2016 We all ride for different reasons. Margorie White got into riding as a way to connect with the legacy of her son, who loved riding his Ducati Monster and was killed on it by an inattentive driver. She decided to learn to ride herself, journey cross country from her home in Maryland to where her son died in California, and work to make drivers more aware of motorcyclists—all to honor her son.
