We utilise the figure of the motorcycle to raise the importance of analyzing alternative mobilities: to consider how they appeal to different travelling dispositions and emotions; how they have been represented; and how they have been produced, marketed and consumed. The paper first reflects upon the experiences and embodiment of the motorcycle- rider; second, evaluates representations of moto-mobility; and finally attends to the materiality of mobility via an examination of the economy of motorcycle qualities. Introduction In recent years social scientists have become increasingly interested in concepts of ‘automobility’ and in so doing have provided new ways of invigorating studies of transport and movement (Thrift 1996; Urry 2000; Sheller and Urry 2000; Beckmann 2001; Theory, Culture and Society Special Issue 2004).

    2018 Volume 9 October 2018 THE SHAFT The Journal of the Riders Association of the Mid-South http://www.bmwrams.com BMW RAMS RALLY 2018! To those of you who came to the rally, it was wonderful seeing you! Each year I look forward to visiting and catching up with everyone. The campfire stories are the best! I heard stories I hadn’t heard before, Hank told one on me, and I think a few might have been made up. Peanuts were passed around, people shared from their coolers, and everyone went to their tents smelling of smoke. The rains earlier in the week had soaked the wood making it hard to start the first fire. Someone creative stacked wood all around the campfire ring so it would dry out before we needed it. The weather was perfect for riding, and a few miles were put on by everyone. I must say the campground continues to improve yearly. New private showers were my favorite upgrade this year. To those of you who could not make the rally we missed you and hope to see you next year. Here are some photos of the camp grounds... Verla’s award for Taj Mahal goes to.... Hank Widdop and Paul Whitworth. Hank’s tent was hugh and had a pop up patio. Paul’s was about the size of a three bedroom house.

Ted Simon and Gregory Frazier. 1 April/May 2013 n RoadBike n RoadBikeMag.com BY ALFONSE PALAIMA sk a traveler where to go on vacation, and he will first ask what you like to do, then maybe make some suggestions. But where does someone that travels for a living — with an extreme obsession — go when he wants A a vacation, from vacationing? Not so oddly, he travels some more, but this time, when he gets there, he parks the bike instead of riding it. If riding Iron Butts are your thing, or you’re the type of rider that’s just getting warmed up on the sixth day of a ride, then the idea of chasing horizons is no strange thing to you. You might even know that with the right amount of effort, the horizon never comes, like a tomorrow, it’s endless — unlimited.“Does the smell of spices wafting through the air make you think of Zanzibar?” asks Grant Johnson, founder of Horizons Unlimited. “Does the cacophony of honking horns remind you of Cairo?

While still relatively modest when compared to neighbouring countries, the industry has tremendous potential. One reason is that thanks to Vietnam’s economic develop- ment, young and growing middle class is rapidly expanding its appetite for cars, which results in average 30% YOY increase of sales in recent years. Drive to fulfil localization requirements and enjoying preferential tariffs from ASEAN and EU FTAs is creating great environment for part manufacturers. With support of government policies designed to promote hi-tech industries, Vietnam is expected to become an important automotive parts source and assembly hub. Projections point toward Vietnam automotive industry enjoying the fastest growth in Southeast Asia in the next 20 years. Motorbike export has risen by 32% last year alone and automo- bile production capacity is expanding in equally impressive rate of 17% annually.

  • Australia's East : a Guide to Motorcycle Touring
    AUSTRALIA’S EAST : A GUIDE TO MOTORCYCLE TOURING Welcome to the east of Australia! his guide will hopefully help you along in the process of planning your ideal motorcycle rental, self-guided Tmotorbike tour or fully guided ride. We’ll cover the basics about the east of Australia, when the best time to visit might be, explain the rental and tour processes, introduce the key areas of the region and even outline pitfalls you might encounter along the way. We look forward to welcoming you to Australia! AUSTRALIA’S EAST: A GUIDE TO MOTORCYCLE TOURING WWW.BIKEROUNDOZ.COM BASIC GEOGRAPHY Australia is a big place, no question about that! It’s the sixth largest country on the planet at nearly 7.7 million square kilometres, encompassing wildly varied landscapes from tropical rainforests and sun drenched coastal fringes, right through to red sandy deserts and snow-capped mountain ranges. If you’re planning a motorcycle ride in a place as large and complex as Australia it’d be useful to have a little guidance. To that end, we’ve created this document; a guiding light in the otherwise murky and confusing gloom of planning and preparations. We’re not trying to cover the whole of Australia in one go, we’re focusing our attention on the eastern and south eastern states of The Great Barrier Reef - Queensland Outback Queensland Australia. The country is made up of seven states in total, but we’ll be concentrating on riding through Victoria, New South Wales, parts of Queensland and Tasmania in this guide. Whether it’s a one-way ride between cities, a multi-week self-guided motorcycle tour or a simple few days rental around somewhere like Sydney or Melbourne, the information contained in this guide should prove inspiring and helpful.

Targeted squarely at influencing the women’s segment of the motorcycle industry, we are creating a dynamic coalition called the WCM Coalition At-Large Board (CAB). WCM CAB members must be change makers and/or passionate female riders. The WCM CAB will assist the WCM to develop comprehensive guidelines in four key areas: 1) how to design motorcycles and accessories for women; 2) how to design well-fitting riding apparel and safety gear for women 3) how to effectively sell motorcycles, gear and accessories to women and provide service for women’s motorcycles; and 4) how to train women to ride proficiently and become rider trainers themselves. We anticipate sharing the results of this work in the form of reports and presentations provided to interested businesses within the motorcycle industry. Overall, the mission of the WCM is to double the number of female riders by 2020.
