Overview

Al Kitchel and his road brother Joz had one plan: ditch the crowds, skip the freeways, and ride the forgotten backroads of the American West until something worth remembering happened. No itinerary. No destination. Just two Harleys, open skies, and the kind of freedom only found between the rumble strip and the horizon.

What started as a half baked idea on a freezing Oregon riverboat, hatched between a fishing guide’s cursing and a wad of flying chew, became a journey through raw country, canyon roads, and the unshakeable bond of two men who chose adventure over comfort. From the high desert of Eastern Washington to the wildfire smoke ringing the Sierra Nevada, the ride carries Al and Joz through eight unforgettable legs: a tense departure, an eerie roadside motel, towering redwood coastline, the volcanic shadow of Mount Shasta, and a final, smoke choked push toward Mount Whitney.

Part road memoir, part backwoods philosophy, The Other White Line is for anyone who has ever felt the pull of the open road and had the guts to follow it.
