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).

  • What's New for 2016
    What’s new for 2016 Cover and inside photo by Nick Johnson www.RideandWander.com The Twisted Difference We’ve spent years scouring the globe to bring unique, well made and innovative motorcycle accessories to the U.S. market. Now we create gear that outperforms everything we’ve been able to find in our travels. We understand the importance of having gear that withstands the rigors of life on two wheels – that’s why our product range is carefully curated to provide durability, ease of use and simple installation. Many other companies have no creative control over what they sell – we do! We regularly improve the products we sell based on testing and customer feedback. We often coach our suppliers to add the fea- tures and durability we know our North American customers will demand. We also work with OEMs to improve their product lines and develop custom accessories. When there is no manufacturer making a particular product we see a need for, we prototype our own. We currently design and manufacture two brands: Denali adventure-ready electronics and DrySpec 100% waterproof dry bags. All DrySpec luggage, and many Denali components, are made in the USA. We partner with touring and rental companies, training schools and professional riders to gain feed- back about how our products hold up after miles of abuse. We use that information to improve existing products and develop new ones that will withstand the toughest riding conditions. Our partners include MotoQuest, GSM MotoRent, the California Superbike School, Tour USA, PSS Off Road, MotoMark1 and Colorado Motorcycle Adventures.
