Welcome to The Vulture's Chronicles!

This site is both a content repository and has a blog for day to day content.

The site menu is on the right. Clicking on the various categories cause them to expand exposing a lot of varied content. Please take the time to look around.

Click on My Motorcycles for example and the main page has a missive about the perfect bike, and the menu expands to cover each bike I currently ride - explaining why I chose that particular machine. It might be useful if you want an owner based opinion if one of my bikes is on your short list.

Motorcycle trip reports (Tours) are in two sections. I've covered much of the western U.S., completed a USA 4 Corners Tour, and done it on an assortment of motorcycles. Might help you decide on where to go for a bike ride. Plus, you can download some of my trips to use in your GPS if you want to.

I have opinions/reviews of riding gear like jackets, boots, and accessories riders often consider like GPS units and communications gear. I provide a good rationale for having a GPS on a motorcycle.

The Road Blog is content I post from my iPhone when on a long ride, or simple reviews of things like Bluetooth intercoms, or motorcycles I got a demo ride on. The blog has searchable categories - a current excerpt is listed at the right.

What's the connection with Vultures you ask? Well, I worked as the Sales Manager at South Sound BMW Motorcycles for a number of years and my sales team and General Manager referred to me as "The Vulture". Sorry if a Google search for Vulture stuff brought you here; it is a term of affection - I think - bestowed upon me by my colleagues, and I honor it accordingly.

I respond to e-mail if you want to chat, or have a question.

Warm regards and safe riding,

Marty
