Motorcycles and motorcyclists

CherylNYC · 12-16-2013, 04:18 PM

The motorcycle show was seriously under-attended in NYC this year. The weather was dreadful enough to keep many of the usual attendees home, and the early date discouraged some of the usual vendors. It was still fabulous, and it was great to catch up with the riders I only get to see once a year at this event. I bought myself a Condor wheel chock for my not-yet-assembled trailer, plus a few other goodies. I can't wait to get my fabulous new trailer on the road.

A beautiful femme friend who is a really new rider, and who currently owns a bike that's not at all appropriate or comfortable for her, came to sit on bikes. I spent some quality time with her looking at all the new models. I knew I liked her! She has great taste in bikes. She liked all the cool ones that were totally appropriate, and hated all the excessive bikes that were 'all show and no go'. I probably shouldn't admit this, but we bought matching lambskin corsets at one of the cheap leather booths, too.

Cheryl, that's wonderful that you helped her understand the importance of finding the right fitting motorcycle. Hopefully at SOME point I can get back there and we can all ride together!

Name the time. Except if your visit falls between Jan. 10th and Feb 9th. I'm taking an epic riding vacation in New Zealand and Australia! I'm not planning much except that I'm landing in Aukland and renting an RF900 so I can ride around aimlessly looking for trouble. Then I fly to Melbourne on Jan 30th and pick up a borrowed ZZR600. Luckily for me, I'll be in Melbourne for their Pride celebration. Hopefully I'll be allowed to ride in the parade with the Melbourne Dykes On Bikes, and then I'll ride around some more in Australia. It's going to be epic, and I'll come home flat broke but happy.

I'll be happy to hear from anyone with advice on interesting places or events in NZ and/or Australia!

If you're writing a blog about this adventure, I'd love to read it!

Naah. I'm going to have enough trouble just remembering to take photos. I haven't taken pics on any of my other adventures because I felt like I was in the moment, and didn't want to stop to capture something in order to to see it again in some future moment. Now that my memory is dimming I sort of regret those choices.
