This year saw The 1 Moto changing venues – instead of being in a warehouse as in previous years, the show moved to the Veterans Memorial Coliseum. It was a much larger venue, with the added bonus of being able to host the races at the same place. We didn’t make it to the races […]
Why yes I will park my motorcycle in a parking spot
You pull into a parking spot at your office, at the parking lot or garage you have monthly parking at, the grocery store, the drug store, the place where you pick up your cat’s food. You head in, get things done, and come back out minutes or hours later to find a nasty note about […]
Gaijin on Super Cubs!
Rest assured, a full trip report will be forthcoming, even though this particular trip hasn’t been a true motorbike trip. Today, we’re in Sendai, and I rented a Honda Super Cub 110 for a few hours from Rental819 here in Sendai. An online reservation system (in English, even!) made the process really easy from our […]
What the heck’s been going on lately?
So it’s been longer than I’d have liked to post a good update. Here’s a quick recap of my two wheeled summer: Lots of commuting. More of that than anything else, if I’m being honest. New tires! I’m on my second set of Metzeler Roadtec 01s now and I just absolutely love them. Great in […]
Ooooh, tentacles…
It’s not too much of a secret that I really like octopi. I missed out on getting Icon’s Airmada Colossal lid a few years back, and I’ve regretted it often. I don’t think I’ll make the same mistake with their new Airflite Inky Blue. It’s a lot of graphic. More than I usually like. But […]
Defying Diagnosis…
That feeling when you get a status update from the shop on your motorbike and that status update is that your bike is defying diagnosis. Ugh. And of course my backup bike has a dead battery and is also in need of some TLC like an oil change. I have two motorbikes, and neither of […]
2019 Mileage Maniacs!
It’s Mileage Maniacs time again! Mileage Maniacs is a really fun rally that’s simple – any motorcyclist can do it. The goal is to just ride as many miles as you can between March 1 and November 30. Documentation is a snap – once you’ve registered all you need to do is post a photo […]
It’s The One Moto Show Weekend!
I’ll have much more to share later on, but I just put up a couple of shots from tonight on Instagram (follow me there at @1girl1bike1world if you like bikes, cats, and tiki drinks!), and I couldn’t resist sharing this photo that OnlyTwoWheels took of me… …taking this photo! If you’re in Portland this weekend, […]
You know it’s a really exciting Sunday night when you’re rewashing and re-waterproofing your Aerostich Roadcrafter because damnit it’s giving you that Incontinent Biker Chick look after a good ride in the rain…
One last AIM Expo Post
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…
