As many of you saw in the last few days, random links on the website and/or daily email would take you to nonsense spam sites. It was very annoying and I sincerely apologize for the hassle. Fixing it was over my head from a technology standpoint so I hired a company to clean it all up, and according to them …
Do a Track Day with Aprilia – Aprilia Racers Days
I’m a little late on this news so I apologize for the short notice, but Aprilia’s got a new program called Aprilia Racers Days where they’ll let you try out their newest hardware on a track. They’re going to Chuckwalla this Friday, so you better hurry up!
Ride From Los Angeles to Alaska for $15/Day!
I’ve mentioned MotoQuest’s “Transporter Specials” in the past, but this is one of the best deals I’ve seen from them. It’s a simple premise – their rental business in Alaska is seasonal, so they’ll give discounts for one way rentals to help move bikes to and from the Anchorage office as needed. They currently need to get some BMW GSes …

View Post2018 Quail Motorcycle Gathering – The Winners
This is not my usual recap – that will have to wait until I get back home and have time to go through all of Nathan’s photos – but for now I just wanted to share the winning bikes from the 10th Annual Quail Motorcycle Gathering. As always, the show was wonderful and I hope those of you that were …
Who’s going to the 2018 Quail Motorcycle Gathering?

Moto Industry Internship – Harley-Davidson #FINDYOURFREEDOM
I try to pass along interesting motorcycle industry jobs when I hear about them, and this internship definitely qualifies for those of you that are in your junior or senior years of college (or recent graduates) who are looking to “work in social media” (now that’s a combination of words I never thought would exist when I was in undergrad). …
Recall Intermission – Indian’s 2018 Lineup
I know I normally don’t cover recalls, but this one made me laugh. Indian just announced that they need to bring back 3,341 bikes built between Oct. 25, 2016 to Nov. 17, 2017 (but sold as 2018 models) because they’ll turn themselves on. Sexy.
Suggestions for Spain/Portugal?
As you’ve seen in the past, Vy and I try to take a multi-week motorcycle trip each summer – previous examples include the UK, Alaska, the Western US, and Costa Rica. This time around, we’re going to the Iberian Peninsula! Got any suggestions for us?
Contest Intermission – The Wrench – Scout Bobber Build Off Voting
Last month I let you know that Indian was hosting a contest for Scout Bobber builds, though there is a twist – they’re specifically looking for non-professional builders. In their words, they want “wrenchers who do it for the passion, not the pay.” The submission period has ended and 12 finalists have been selected. Your vote will help determine the …
Check Out RawHyde Adventure Days!
Last year, I got my first experience with RawHyde, and it was an absolute eye-opener. Nathan and I actually started calling it a cult because everyone that goes seems to fall in love, and a staggering percentage of their employees are former students that wanted to get involved. It’s short notice, but this weekend RawHyde is hosting their biggest event …
