About a week or two ago and after much prodding and pushing I put together a cleaned up Tips-n-Tricks article on packing for an extended road trip.
After a bit of consternation - the art of self argument - "Do I want to or not" - I submitted it to E-Zine Articles. I received notice today that they have accepted the article and published it to their "Featured" page. I'm not sure what that means and I'm still waiting for it to show up on what I would interpret as the Featured Page, however I did just find it in the Automotive Section Here and I'm listed at the number two position... ok, I'll take that, for whatever it means.
I'm pretty excited about this in a "whatever that's kinda cool way". Having someone else think that my writing (about something I love) was good enough to share at the very least with other writers on their site is a nice "pat on the back" to get.
My understanding of the site is that it acts as a storehouse for articles that other E-zines, printed mags and whoever else wants can research, contact and publish the authors as long as the credits are given and the content remains unchanged. So for that possibility I'm excited.
Now, will this article just sit in the corner and gather dust - I'd say chances are yes - but if you're a motorcycle magazine or a travel magazine looking for something off of the beaten path it's there to be used.
Thinking about it now; if you are a Motorcycle Mag or a Travel Mag it would be easier to leave me a comment and I'd be glad to work something out directly ;)

Troy-I just picked this up in my reader and had to come over to say congratulations! I knew you had it in you when I read your first post. (You are doing a killer job on your other site too btw) Thanks for coming by my place.
PC, thanks so much! We'll see what happens with it, but I must admit I'm already thinking about doing another one ;)
