A plan put to action!

On May 26, 2017 By Jim Porrata
So, I’m looking at my life through a different lens, and I am changing what isn’t working for me. Things that haven’t been working for a while. I am making practical decisions, which also involve some risk. But, the risk is exciting. Its my risk, and its my ride. The first [...]

Over & Out, Connecticut

On May 25, 2017 By Jim Porrata
The weather is finally shaping up in Connecticut. The temps were actually in the 90’s here the other day. Kind of a freak thing. One extreme or the other it seems these days. I rode the 350 all week last week and it felt like summer temps during the day. [...]

1972 CB350 Air Filter Upgrade: Unleash the Top End

On May 15, 2017 By Jim Porrata
A very familiar bike around my website and social media pages is my ’72 Honda CB350. There are a couple good reasons for that. One is that it is one of the only bikes I have that reliably starts and runs properly every time. The second is because the bike [...]

The 750

On May 9, 2017 By Jim Porrata
I’m happy to say that I now own a 1971 Honda CB750K.  These bikes are iconic, and to be honest, it was just a matter of time before one passed through my hands anyway. They were the first powerful, sophisticated four cylinder motorcycles on the market. The air cooled single [...]

On May 8, 2017 By Jim Porrata
Time for a much needed update on Long May You Ride! Lots of awesome stuff has been going on and I have been changing and updating the website a bit as well. I’ve gotten some great feedback from friends and strangers the last several months on the blog so far, [...]

La Ruta Cafe – A Vintage Motorcycle Cafe and Repair Shop

On March 1, 2017 By Jim Porrata
While we were in Ecuador a few months back, we were fortunate enough to spend a good amount of time in the nation’s capital, Quito. Quito is a city of over 2.6 million people, and is as diverse and vibrant as any I have been to. In Ecuador, motorcycles [...]

Gear Check – Forma Terra Boot Review

On February 3, 2017 By Jim Porrata
We have never been endorsed, sponsored, or kicked back a damn thing. From anyone. Ever. So, if we are doing gear reviews you can rest assured that, unless otherwise specified, we got that gear just like you would. By going to a job, getting paid some money, and spending that [...]

Shop Up Date: Progress on the KZ550A Cafe Racer Project

On January 21, 2017 By Jim Porrata
A while back I bought a 1981 Kawasaki KZ550A off of Craigslist that kind of, sort of ran, but didn’t shift properly. I was planing on just getting it running and selling to make a buck, but it grew on me for a couple reasons. First, when this bike was [...]

Day Four – The Climb Back To Quito

On January 19, 2017 By Jim Porrata
It was a bit wet and overcast when we woke up in Quevedo on the morning of Thanksgiving. In all honesty, I don’t think a single one of us remembered that it was even a holiday back home in the states. We were embarking on our final day of [...]

Day Three – The Decent To Quevedo

On December 18, 2016 By Jim Porrata
I woke up pretty early in Salinas on the third day of our Long May You Ride moto adventure. I slept well and there was a rooster that was clearly not going to shut up right out side the window, so I decided to go for a walk into [...]
