READER MOTORCYCLE REVIEW: 2011 Victory Vegas 2009 Kawasaki Vulcan 900 Classic LT

It had been a long three-year motorcycle drought for me. Although I was blessed to be able to rent a Honda ST1300, a Shadow Aero and a Harley on vacations over those three years, I missed riding my own steed and tried to miss it less by living vicariously through WRN contributor articles, having five different rider magazines sent to my house every month and attending motorcycle shows.

MOTORCYCLE REVIEW: Giving Kymco’s 2012 Scooters a Whirl

At my motorcycle training site where I’m an instructor for basic riding skills, students often ask me if I think they should start off on a scooter.

Reader Story: Taking the Wheel, in Life and on the Road

Challenging myself mentally and physically has always been important to me. Over the years, my interests have included barrel racing, golf, skydiving, triathlons and half marathons. While working full-time and raising my daughter as a single mother, I obtained my master’s degree in health-care administration. I’ve just never believed in being a spectator in life.

PRODUCT REVIEW: Uhl Art-Inspired Tees

OK, full disclosure right off the bat: I’ve been a big fan of artist David Uhl since I first met him nearly 20 years ago when he started painting Harley-Davidson-inspired images. I still kick myself to this day for not jumping at the chance to buy one of his limited-edition giclées of “Ruby,” one of David’s most recognizable works of motorcycle art.
