last weekend I took a 4 day trip up to ATL and then started the 2014 Hooligan Run, riding up to Waynesboro VA, then the whole blur ridge parkway to Cherokee NC, and then back to Savannah GA. total it was 1700 miles in 4 days. not super fast paced but Vern and I (the other guy on a cb750) took backroads only going from ATL to VA, so it took us 15 hours. we rode up there by ourselves and met the rest of the highway travelling group (24 in all). cb750s are fast but the highway can be so tiresome. glad we went our route, and all in all it was an absolute blast. can't wait for next year!

these pictures were taken by Triumph America's social media guy Keith May, who joined us on our trip and got a TON of pics.

Couple of weeks ago i was cruising downtown, and spotted another vintage machine in front of me….
Nice 928.  The first porche I drove.  Neighbor was a car dealer and got one in in a trade. I was out front washing my pos Honda.  I asked and he threw me the keys.  I was 16... ;D

thanks Jerry. it was a gift from a friend and it goes everywhere with me, no matter what. it's always a good idea to have an extra helmet in case I want to switch from my full face, or meet a lady. you never know. at this point the helmet is a part of the bike, especially since I repainted it to match!

Honda out on its longest run today, 190 kilometres, Wollongong to Shoalhaven Heads with my local classic bike club. A good mix of old and new bikes and the most perfect winter day. I love global warming! Must of been in the low 20 Celsius, perfect. Went through Toolajoola to Berry, Berry to Shoalhaven Heads, both these roads I never knew existed. First pic was taken at Kiama Bends Lookout. How well do these little 550's go, I was not disappointed in its performance!

NJ, about 4 miles from my house. It's not all boardwalks, refineries and ghettos, turned my 20 minute commute into almost an hour today, to the hum of the inline 4.

Nice picture of a pretty bike  :)

Yeah, there is something wrong with my motorcycle too.  My commute is less than 2 miles, however I clocked 105 miles getting home on Monday with a ton mixed in it here and there  ;D
