Motorcycle Review

Britt returns to Tim Kreitz Adventures and rides with me to the small West Texas town of Monahans, where we eat Mexican chop steaks at Fermin's Restaurant, then ride our bikes through a century old, one-million-barrel oil tank. Come join us!

I take full advantage of another beautiful spring day and head to the nearby town of Big Spring, Texas, where I explore the remnants of Webb Air Force Base and the prison that now occupies much of the property. I also show you one of the filming locations for the movie Hangar 18. Finally, I ride around Moss Creek Lake and take in the sights before heading home. Enjoy!

I ride to a West Texas meteor crater in the remote expanses of Ector County to find it filled with spring wildflowers. It's sometimes fun when you experience something completely different from what you expect.

Some days I just pick a direction to see where I'll end up. On this ride, I headed farther into the desert badlands of West Texas than I have ventured alone in a long time. Silence, seclusion, and self-awareness were the results.

I take a ride to a creepy wildlife preserve. Along the way, I share some footage from the band's last tour leg and then opine on the idiocy of motorcycle vloggers who intentionally initiate confrontations with motorists.

Britt, Clif, and I head for a forgotten location on the Pecos River; an old bridge that was the location of the Creed Fisher and the Redneck Nation Band video for "You Shoulda' Been A Redneck". The bridge was also home to a nefarious event in the '70s involving murder and deception. Enjoy the ride! ADDITIONAL NOTES ON THIS ADVENTURE We fought strong winds the entire day on this ride. The audio reflects it in a few places; most prominently during Britt's story in the brush. Sorry for the wonky audio there. Cheers.

Valentine's Day 2015 finds Britt and I heading into the West Texas Badlands to visit the ruins of a World War II bomber base near Pyote, Texas. Along the way, we grab some lunch, visit a century old graveyard, and discuss Britt's dad's involvement in the D-Day invasion at Normandy on June 6, 1944. ADDITIONAL NOTES ON THIS ADVENTURE Those of you who are longtime patrons of The Superbike Blog will remember that we made almost this exact same ride to Pyote six years ago with our friend David, who we lost to cancer in 2010. Though this return trip was definitely a fun ride and I thoroughly enjoyed every moment of the day, I couldn't help but dwell on the lingering memories of Dave with every destination. The sense of Dave's absence wasn't lost on Britt, either. When we arrived at the entrance to the base, we immediately exchanged glances, fully aware of what the other was thinking about. There's a short sequence of us remembering Dave before heading across the ...
