    John Butrus, Solo Motorcyclist

    Some motorcyclists love the camaraderie of a group ride. But others prefer the flexibility and solitude of solo riding. John Butrus is so passionate about riding alone that he formed a Facebook group called Solo Motorcyclist, and it's attracted 44,000 members around the world. John discusses the appeal—and some of the drawbacks—of riding solo. Riding Into The Sunset is brought to you by the BMW Motorcycle Owners of America and hosted by journalist & author Ed Housewright.

    Prioritizing the Bucket List

    There's no better way to see the country than on a motorcycle. The only problem:  with so many wonderful sites to see, how do we make time for them all? Obviously, we can't. As we age, we're faced with prioritizing our bucket list and enjoying the rides we can take.

    Great Joy and Great Sorrow

    Motorcycle riding can bring great joy and great sorrow. A close friend of mine, Tom Moffat, recently died from injuries suffered in a motorcycle accident.

    Mike Welch likes small bikes and he cannot lie

    Some riders like bigger and bigger bikes. Not Mike Welch. The biggest bike he's ever owned was a BMW F 850 GS, but he much prefers his G 310 GS. For Mike and some other motorcyclists, maneuverability and handling outweigh raw power.
