Here's Why 2018 Was Terrible


2018 was one of the roughest years I've had in a while. I talk about my father's sudden onset of blindness, related health problems, and my role as his caretaker. I also discuss the heartbreaking return of Matt's cancer, as well as the sad loss of my trusty dog Scout. On the bright side, I count my many blessings and share some of my favorite moments from Tim Kreitz Adventures this year. Fingers crossed that 2019 will be better. I'll definitely see you there. Cheers.

With that in mind, I feel compelled to compose a bit about how the book has affected me in different ways over the years, and to explore motorcycling as metaphysical quality in a way that Pirsig would've hopefully not completely hated. I first became aware of Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance in college during the '90s. My speech professor, with whom I had developed a personal acquaintance, recommended the book to me after learning I was a rider. "You should check it out," he said. "I think it would rea...

I make a trip from Texas to California to visit Suburban Delinquent. In this episode, we ride Santiago Canyon, lane-split, have lunch at Los Tacos Ricos, and spend the afternoon cruising the harbor onboard the S.S. Suburban Delinquent.
