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).

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.

    La storia del logo Bmw Bayerische Motoren Werke AG Nazione Germania Tipologia Società per azioni Fondazione 1917 Sede principale Monaco di Baviera Filiali MINI e Rolls-Royce Persone chiave Norbert Reithofer, presidente e AD Settore Autoveicoli Prodotti Automobili e Motociclette Fatturato 60 miliardi di € (2010) Dipendenti 107.079 (2007) Slogan Piacere di guidare Note Soprannomi: Bavarian Motor Works, Bimmer Sito web www.bmw.com BMW (acronimo di Bayerische Motoren Werke, in italiano Fabbrica Bavarese di Motori) è un'azienda tedesca produttrice di autoveicoli e motoveicoli, con sede a Monaco di Baviera. Il contesto Durante la prima guerra mondiale, l'industria meccanica tedesca era impegnata a migliorare la potenza e l'affidabilità delle nuove "macchine volanti" che, per la prima volta, rivestivano un importante ruolo bellico. Anche la Daimler aveva messo a punto un motore aeronautico, realizzato dalla consociata austriaca Austro- Daimler e sviluppato da Max Friz, uno dei brillanti ingegneri del reparto corse Daimler, la cui attività era sospesa a causa della guerra. Commissionata dal governo austriaco, per ragioni di celerità produttiva, la costruzione dei motori Austro- Daimler venne affidata alla licenziataria bavarese Rapp Motorenwerke, ditta nella quale anche Friz si trasferì, con la speranza di veder realizzato il suo progetto per un motore d'aereo con sei cilindri in linea e albero a camme in testa, in grado di funzionare a quote molto elevate; ben oltre i 5.000 metri. Alla Rapp, in veste di supervisore tecnico dell'aviazione militare austro-ungarica, era presente l'ingegnere Josef Popp, al quale Friz mostrò i disegni del suo nuovo motore. Popp capì immediatamente che si trattava di un propulsore tecnologicamente molto avanzato e ne caldeggiò la realizzazione a Julius Auspitzer, cofondatore e unico azionista della Rapp Motorenwerke.
