Just a hodge-podge of some of my favorite photos from AIM Expo that haven’t really fit in to any of my other articles. Enjoy! I’d be remiss if I didn’t post some of my favorite shots of the brand new Indian FTR 1200. I kind of really want one, particularly in the grey…
A Very Motorbike Thanksgiving
After all the eating (and eating…and eating…) is done, my bike’s getting most of its 12K mile service done by my fabulous husband. And it’s getting some extras! Stainless steel crashbars from Touratech and a shiny new Magura hydraulic clutch! I’ve been wanting to do the hydraulic clutch conversion for a long while, but since […]
Triumph Bobber…I Like It!
So I kind of dig the Triumph Bonneville bobber…
In which I co-host a podcast…
Not just any ‘ol podcast, either. Scott and I met Wes Fleming, host of the BMW MOA’s podcast, Chasing the Horizon, at AimExpo and he invited us to co-host the recap episode. So awesome! Give it a listen, if you’re so inclined: http://horizon.bmwmoa.org/episode-36-aimexpo-wrapup/
First Impressions: The Cardo/JBL PackTalk System Partnership
Helmet audio systems are sometimes a little controversial. Some folks dig riding while listening to their favorite tunes, podcasts, or audio books.

Kids Love Motorbikes
Sometimes, the morning commute brings an unexpected moment of joy. Today, I was stopped at a light when a car honked at me. Naturally, my first thought turned to ‘uh oh….what’d I do?’ Nothing, it turned out. My fellow commuter was taking his little boy to day care or to school, and I assume his little […]
First Impressions: Davida Koura full-face helmet and Speedster v.3 three quarter helmet
Way back before I ever learned how to ride, I had a bit of a fascination with the cafe racer movement in 1960s England. The cool Triumphs, the Ace Cafe, the greasy jackets and white scarves, and of course the iconic Davida helmet. So of course, when I learned how to ride I took a […]
Slingshot!
I got to do something pretty epic today at Aim Expo. Took a little spin around the Polaris Slingshot drift course with a professional driver. So. Much. Fun.
First Look: Magura Hydraulic Clutch
So this little bit of awesome will be going on my bike in the not-too-distant future. My clutch wrist is already excited!
Hssssssssssss
For the last week or two, I’ve been perplexed by the tire pressure monitoring system on my bike. Sure, we’ve had some temperature fluctuations, but the air pressure fluctuations in my rear tire seemed a little…odd. And the TPMS wasn’t super-aligned with my tire pressure gauge (and they’ve been pretty solidly aligned up until recently). […]
