Hi. People call me Geo. I work in the Semiconductor Industry and I love riding my motorcycle Jezebelle (pictured); particularly long distances!

Why do I love to ride? Ask a surfer why they surf. Ask a mountain climber why they climb. I ride because it is one of the most spiritual things I have ever experienced. Whether it's riding all by myself across the Mohave Desert, through the Bonneville flats, over the Tioga or Sonora Passes, I feel overwhelmed with awe and humility. When you see the sun set behind the Sierra - Nevada mountains you realize just where you stand in the grand scheme of the universe.

I love meeting people along the way. I have met riders from around the world who spend many thousands of dollars just ride through our beautiful country. Don't get me wrong, I love riding with others but, it is a very different feeling when I'm out there on my own. Just writing this has me waxing romantic and wishing I was out there, somewhere, anywhere, right this moment.

Riding is my true love. Maybe I will see you out there sometime. I hope I do.
