Where’s Michael (and where’s he headed)?
In December, Sean and I will return to Japan to photograph one of our favorite shows of the year, Mooneyes Annual Yokohama Show, for the eighth time.
In November, as a guest of Royal Enfield, we are super excited to be heading to Goa, South India. In addition to presenting two slide shows/talks at India Bike Week, we’ll ride Royal Enfields around the area and photograph the event.
We just returned from the Eternal City Show in Rome and will be heading to the Lone Star Motorcycle Rally the end of October – stop and say ‘hi’! Do you know an event Michael needs to photograph? Let him know here.
Lichter Notes Dennis Kirk Blog
Did you know Michael has had his own area of the Dennis Kirk Blog known as “Lichter Notes” since April 2021? There are more than 60 long-form features on events and bikes and in-depth profiles on personalities like Billy Lane, Oliver Peck, Danger Dan, and Teach. It’s been a pleasure working with the good people at Dennis Kirk.

Notables
Oliver Peck is an amazing Tattoo artist, promoter, and all-around entrepreneur that is one of the most interesting characters I’ve ever met!
Oliver PeckKalen Thorien may make a living as an influencer, but she presents herself more honestly and directly than I have seen anyone else in that realm do. She is passionate about riding and living a life of adventure…
Danger Dan by any standard can be considered Wild and Untamed. He is one of the most fun loving people you’ll ever ride with, and he’ll help take any adventure over the top.

Featured Bikes
Majik Mike Rabideau Red 79’ Shovelhead
Majik Mike has been building beautiful bikes for years, but really stepped it up these last few years after he quit his day job and focused all his time on custom motorcycles.
We photographed Paul Yaffe’s custom BMW R-18 on location in Arizona just before it headed to Europe where BMW unveiled it at Motor Bike Expo in Verona. I recently photographed Paul riding the bike around Sturgis, so look for these photos coming soon.
Featured Events
2024 Tennessee Motorcycles & Music Revival
It’s been another great year at the TMMR (Tennessee Motorcycles and Music Revival) at Loretta Lynn’s Ranch. I’ve shot this for several years now, and it’s a great, characterful event with awesome music on multiple stages and a chill atmosphere. With great riding, racing, a river to cool down in, the BC Moto Invitational Show, and lots more, so be sure to check it out and come down next May
Ride Motorcycles in Bhutan: The Secret Kingdom, with Michael 4/2025
Bhutan. This was a cross between an amazing touristic trip with Catherine and a fact-finding trip for our upcoming Motorcycle Sherpa motorcycle tour of Bhutan in April of 2025. Check out the photos and be inspired by the beauty of this beautiful entirely Buddhist Himalayan kingdom of 750,000 citizens sandwiched between more than one billion people on their northern border in China, and more than one billion people on their southern border in India. It will be a fantastic trip for anyone interested in motorcycles, culture, or photography. If these photos perk your interest, head over to Motorcycle Sherpa to reserve a spot.
