Ride To Work Day 2023

General Posts / By

Let’s fill the streets with motorcycles and scooters tomorrow, June 19th! Show the world you rode by flooding social media with your photos and videos! Here’s a short interview about Ride to Work Day from a popular blog site: ‘5 Questions to Andy Goldfine about Ride to Work Day’ (Click Me) We hope you’ll be able get out and ride somewhere this Monday, even if only for a short errand. Have fun. Note about the 2024 day (and following years): Because the recently established United States federal holiday of Juneteenth is the same day as the current RTW Day, because many business and government entities now close on this day, and because RTW Day is about riding to work (as well as for utility transportation), starting in 2024 RTW Day will annually be on the Second Tuesday in June. This day is chosen because: A) it breaks up the workweek better than a Monday day does (RTW Day is a demonstration day), and B) because a midweek day is more likely to receive media coverage than a Monday or Friday.

Jam and Vibe: Vehemence Of Evil

General Posts / By

NEW FICTION: Featuring Jammer and Vibe, in rival gangs, with nothing in common except motorcycles! One of their most lucrative businesses was drug trafficking. America had never been so addicted to substances galore and now it seemed pharmaceutical pills could be replaced by marijuana as well. Hey, there were breakfast brownies made of weed in cafes! Why eat a cow-burger when you can eat “grass?” You didn’t quit this club. The club just fired you with a Viking funeral. Exploding motorcycles was their retribution. An innovative death sentence, ahead of its time or earlier than exploding electric motorcycles. Their conditioning and witnessing of daily violence was such that eventual loss of limb or life seemed like a dream—a fairy tale told by enemies. Power does not exist if it’s not enforced and thus the immaterial comes into tangible existence. Then you “see” power, feel it and know it. Their fearsome reputation was not from use of firearms but bizarre deaths that would shock and traumatize the best of ER regulars.

Isle Of Man TT Announces 2023 Schedule

General Posts / By

Two UK Bank holidays should help IOMTT attendees enjoy more racing. by Dustin Wheelen from https://www.rideapart.com The Isle of Man TT (IOMTT) returned to the Snaefell Mountain Course in 2022 after a two-year hiatus. As expected, drama unfolded over the two-week period, but officials are always searching for ways to make the Tourist Trophy even better. With the aim of enhancing the event’s long-term sustainability by increasing overall visitor numbers, the new 10-race schedule addresses issues identified by IOMTT organizers. “This research revealed that the existing TT schedule, the Island’s travel capacity, the Island’s accommodation infrastructure, costs factored against the current economic climate, and customers’ changing habits are no longer compatible and do not meet the needs of the event’s customers,” stated MHK Minister for Enterprise Lawrie Hooper. To optimize the TT’s crowd-welcoming ability, organizers scheduled the opening-day qualifying on May 29, 2023, the U.K.’s Spring Bank Holiday. Authorities also deemed Friday, June 9, 2022, the “TT Bank Holiday”, bookending the racing event with two three-day weekends. The 2023 Isle of Man TT schedule follows: Qualifying Week Monday, May 29, 2023 – Morning & Afternoon Qualifying Tuesday, May 30, 2023 – Evening Qualifying Wednesday, May 31, 2023 – Evening Qualifying Thursday, June 1, 2023 – Evening Qualifying Friday, June 2, 2023 – Afternoon Qualifying Race Week Saturday, June 3, 2023 – Supersport (Race 1) and Sidecar (Race 1) Sunday, June 4, 2023 – Superbike TT Tuesday, June 6, 2023 – Superstock (Race 1) and Supertwin (Race 1) Wednesday, June 7, 2023 – Supersport (Race 2) and Sidecar (Race 2) Friday, June 9, 2023 – Superstock (Race 2) and Supertwin (Race 2) Saturday, June 10, 2023 – Senior TT Of course, many IOMTT attendees predicate travel plans based on their work schedules.

Celebrating 50 years of the MOA, this landmark rally will be highlighted by the U.S. launch of two brand new Metzeler tire models: the Tourance Next 2 and Karoo 4. “It is a huge honor to return as the Title Sponsor of the BMW MOA National Rally and support this amazing community of enthusiasts,” said Brian Davenport, Senior Sales Manager for Metzeler. “This event is always an excellent opportunity for us to not only interface with serious riders who log enough miles to really put our tires to the test, but also to educate riders on proper tire maintenance and care.” The centerpiece of METZELER USA’s exhibit will be two new tires: the Tourance Next 2 and the Karoo 4.

Attendees can visit the METZELER USA booth during the rally to see the Tourance Next 2 and Karoo 4 up close, along with the rest of the lineup of sport, touring and adventure tires from METZELER. In addition, the tire manufacturer will be hosting a seminar designed to help riders get the most longevity and performance out of their tires. “We’re proud to have Metzeler as our title sponsor for the 2022 Wander Farther National Rally,” said MOA Executive
