So excited for this weekend. Spending Memorial Day in Moab. An acquaintance puts on Motos in Moab. I won't really know anyone so it'll be an adventure for sure. 500 motorcyclists from around the country are gathering.

@summ3rhays and @Sam, we need lots of pictures of your motorcycling adventures, so we can live vicariously through your exploits.

Motos in Moab looks fun. I'm also very jealous.

And those Japanese bikes look cool.

Oh man is that a sweet Bimmer.

Day one of Motos in Moab. Group ride of 80 bikes. Lots of stops due to old Harley's with small tanks. Beautiful weather and scenery.

Bikes of The Works.

too small for Shane

Too small for me!

still a beautiful machine

Jiro san tells me the speedo is useless. It wobbles like crazy!

grab your shovel!

Haraki san's favorite. From 1985… it's as old as me! and much better looking.

I liked this one.

A member of staff has a Triumph scrabbler. In the noise match up it may have lost but Haraki finished by saying it was good for the environment.

Stunning bikes and scenery!

Picked up my new bike at the weekend, Triumph Tiger 800 XRX. A bit different to my old Street Triple but more suitable for a two up tour round Europe. Pics to follow!

@summ3rhays, I think that your bike found true love at the Moab event.

Looks like you had a good time there.

@Sam, I like the orange and white Speedster too. You'll have to get an international license for your next trip, and hope that someone at The Works has a non Japanese sized bike…

@Nomad, nice bike. Enjoy!

My old BMW R1200R. This photo popped up on my Facebook timeline as a memory today. I picked it up from the dealership exactly five years ago.

Unfortunately it was sold just before I headed to Australia at the end of 2014. I need a new bike…

[summ3rhays]

@Graeme  That is such a sweet ride.  I'm sure you have missed it.  So…. when are you pulling the trigger on a new bike?

[Graeme]

@summ3rhays I'll be getting this one in a couple of weeks. Just need to get some money shipped over from the UK.

There are all sorts of goodies in the Triumph accessories brochure: Quickshifter, hotter cam, high-flow airfilter, race exhausts…

[Giles]

I thought the R came with Quickshifter…....

[Graeme]

I don't think that it does. Unless it's been surreptitiously added somewhere along the line.

How are you progressing with your bike license @Giles? Or have you been too busy doing other stuff instead?

[Giles]

I filled the 125 up with petrol for the first time 3 weeks ago, does that answer your question….?

[Graeme]

Well those small bikes are very frugal.

[summ3rhays]

So this happened. I stopped into the Ducati dealership to talk bikes and found out they now sell Vanson. I was trying to be frugal, but I've been looking for a perforated jacket for the summer.

The fit is so so so good.
