In 2015 I rode South to North and East to West across the U.S. Starting in Miami, then passing up through Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, Kentucky, Indiana and Illinois, and in to Chicago. Then meeting a buddy to travel Route66 from Chicago we passed through Illinois, Missouri, Oklahoma, Kansas, Texas, New Mexico, Utah, Colorado, Arizona and California to finish in Santa Monica. 16 days straight and over 7,000kms on an Indian motorcycle.

This journey was very much the trip that inspired The Roadhouse Regulars. These aren’t the usual band photos, but they’re the inspiration behind the music (and a whole lot better looking than the guys I normally play with).
