Riding Motorcycles When You Have Young Kids At Home...

Guys-

Sorry for the sporadic posting here as of late. Started a new job this month and I am "drinking from a firehose." Still making my vids though!

This week's Moto Mouth focuses on the controversial issue of riding motorcycles when you still have young kids at home. Some give up riding altogether. Some curtail it. And some keep on going.... How did you handle it?

Inside the #BMW #Scrambler Product Launch

Hello All-

Recently I was invited on behalf of MCN to attend BMW's formal US launch of the Scrambler model. The specs and impressions of this bike will soon flood the moto-mags and websites, so I thought I'd focus instead on what it was like to experience the press launch itself.

BMW R NineT Scrambler Launch

I was invited to BMW's Scrambler launch to cover the event for MCN. What an experience! BMW pulled out all the stops, and it was full luxury from beginning to end. We rode an eclectic mix of Northwest NJ's serpentine backroads, some light off roading, and then proceeded to battle rush hour New York City traffic. It was fantastic to meet so many fellow moto-journalists, some of whom I've been reading and admiring for years! Here are some pics....
