  • Riding with the Royal Bastards

    I have always wanted to be in a group or club or to be a part of something larger; however, it never pans out. I always end up alone. For this reason, Facebook was made for me. Yet, just like MySpace before it, I joined, connected with some friends, and…

  • My Own "Scooter in the Sticks"

    One of the best rides in the Sacramento area is the River Road portion of Route 160. In the late spring and summer, the ride is a nice way to cool off, with the Sacramento River on your right as you head south. The road is in great shape and…

  • One Terrific (and Terrifying!) Burger

    Stewart, one of the people I grew up with, has read this blog before and likes the idea, but on at least two occasions stressed that I needed to go to the Flaming Grill Café, 2319 El Camino Avenue in Sacramento. It was on my short list of places that…

  • Jocko is No Grease Monkey!

    Picking up my ride from Barber’s Shop Automotive As I write this post, I just got my Vespa out of the shop. The speedometer cable was broken and needed replacing. I rode it for a while in this state figuring I could just stay with the flow of traffic and I would…

Readers should not take this post’s title literally—I never really chased the Mini Burger Truck around town; rather, I…

  • A Big (Biker) Burger

    There are a handful of places in the Sacramento area to get a great burger: the insanely great and expensive burger at Ella Dining Room, the burgers found at Dad’s Kitchen, Jaime’s, Pizza Rock, Squeeze Inn, Scott’s Burger Shack, and many places I have not covered yet. Out of all…

  • An Awesome, but not "Awesome" Burger

    I do not think I would have ever considered a place like The Distillery as having a burger of note, but in a September 5, 2007, article in The Sacramento Bee, Allen Pierlioni picked his top five area burgers with five runners-up, and The Distillery was a runner-up. I am…

  • Ordering a Burger at a Pizzeria

    Pizza Rock is one of the relatively new businesses that have opened on Sacramento’s perpetually struggling K Street Mall. While some of the new businesses seem to be unable to shake the death pall that looms over most businesses that open then close on or around K Street, I am…
