Mark Bradley, Completely Un-Legitimate Motorcycle Dude
Moving the podcast – interview from July 17, 2013
~~~
Mark (aka RidicuRyder) is the first of my blogger friends I’ve ever met in person. His blog is the chronicle of his 10,000 mile cross-country motorcycle trip, but it’s not your average motorcycle blog. In his words, it’s “the anti-motorcycle motorcycle blog.” To begin with, it’s fictionalized. To after with, he writes as a split personality, Ridicu and Ryder. Oh, and the bike has her own perspective as well. (Actually, Kimmie Lou is probably my favorite character.)
We talk about his blog, being bipolar and writing for multiple personalities. It’s all pretty interesting stuff!
