BigLefti's Adventures
rides, roads & good company — 2007 & beyond

The Cast

Eighteen years of roads means eighteen years of people.


Lanny
Lanny Badten
The Author. The Rider. The Man.

Blogger since 2007, before most people knew what a blog was. Rides motorcycles across the American West, photographs everything worth stopping for, and writes captions that are funnier for how little they try to be. Lives in Arizona. Loves the desert. Also writing a book.

Jeannie
Jeannie Badten
The Wife

Described in the blogs as a shopper lady, which tells you something about Lanny and nothing about Jeannie. Present for far more adventures than the blogs credit. She had the biscuits and gravy at Cave Creek. Lanny had the meat lovers omelette. He mentioned both.

Garry
Garry VanderEyk
The Riding Buddy

Rides a Super Tenere on street tires into situations that give most riders pause. Patient enough to wait while Lanny photographs everything. Took Lanny's picture after being asked. Lanny noted he did not have to beg. Birthday in November.

Sherm
Sherm Acord
The Fellow Traveler

Rides, blogs, and photographs his food. Once bought what appeared to be a purse to carry desert medicine. Low-carb until pizza appears. Fifteen dollar helmets. No regrets. Birthday in December.
