It started as a way to let people know I was still alive.

In 2005, I rode across North America on sabbatical and started a blog called The Daily Injection — a nod to the insulin I had been taking since being diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes. The blog was supposed to be temporary.

Twenty years, a few motorcycles, and more than 250,000 miles later, I’m still writing. Dashed Yellow Line is what that old road blog grew into: a place for travel, road stories, real gear experience, photography, and the kind of reflection that only shows up after a long day in the saddle.

Living with Type 1 diabetes isn’t a sidebar to these stories—it’s part of how I ride. Route planning, pump management, fueling for a long day in the saddle…if you’re a diabetic rider, you’ll find some of that here too. Hit the search box to deep dive.

Motorcycling has taught me more about paying attention than anything else I’ve done. The rides that stay with you aren’t always the ones with the best roads. Sometimes it’s a story, a conversation at a gas station, a wrong turn that turned out right, or a sunset that made you pull over and just sit with it for a while.

This is Dashed Yellow Line.
