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). -

THE SHAFT the Journal of the Riders Association of the Mid-South
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. GUYS this is camping LOL “I turn my head to the inside of the curve, roll the throttle wide open, and break free from the world that affords me the passion to ride” 2018 Volume 9 Page 2 October 2018 Interesting Rides/Road Trips TOURING BIKES SPORTS BIKES DUAL SPORTS The 2018 Middle of the Map Rally Progressive International MARK YOUR November 09 - November 11 Motorcycle Show - New York Location: The middle of the map. -
