3 weeks ago | journaltimes.com | Mike Boyd

Since Feb. 3, when a cyberattack shut down most systems at Lee Enterprises, the parent company of The Journal Times, teams have been working day and night to bring you the complete newspaper you expect. Today, we cannot be more pleased to tell you we are back to full strength. For the past few days, you’ve probably noticed the newspaper has returned to its bigger size. It has more local news, sports and features, and we’ve brought back the Sunday Family & Life section.

Catching the tail-end of the famed Bike WeekIn the early hours of Thursday, March 6, 2025, I left home pulling my toy hauler/trailer, headed for Daytona Beach. I had loaded in the trailer my Honda Monkey and CB500X , and my friend David’s Triumph Bonneville 1200. David was pulling his teardrop camper with his Mercedes as we headed on our way to Florida. The weather was good and we made it to the Florida line somewhere around noon.

Riding America on a 1984 Harley-Davidson SportsterIt was the summer of 1984. I was riding my Harley-Davidson FLH to California with my wife at the time, on one of our many road trip adventures. We stopped in Flagstaff, Arizona and visited the local Harley shop, mostly because we were always looking for more oil for the bike. As I walked in the front door, they were using a new black XLX Sportster for a doorstop to keep the front door open.

The Historic Motorcycle Stunt ShowMy first experience with the American Motor Drome Co. Wall of Death was at the Barber Vintage Festival in 2004.

Aug 1, 2024 | roaddirt.tv | Mike Boyd

Riding the West with good friendsThere are so many great American road trips to be taken; I’ve had the opportunity to make a few myself. My friend Max and I took off earlier this summer, Max on a Harley-Davidson Road King and me on my Honda DCT Goldwing for a two week experience of the west and back to the east. We left our homes in Athens, Georgia early in the morning, to hit the interstate early enough to hopefully get through the always ridiculous Atlanta traffic.
