Today I went motorcycle shopping with a friend and had the chance to sit on what I hope will be my next bike: the Triumph Speed Twin 900 in Aluminum Silver. It is absolutely stunning. The design is sleek, and the ergonomics felt just right for my build.

I still love my current motorbike, Kiki, but I’ve been thinking about upgrading to something more modern and better suited for road riding. The Triumph Speed Twin 900 checks every box I’ve been looking for. It offers more power, a comfortable seat height, a neutral riding position, and a look that I’d be proud to show off.

This bike feels like the perfect fit for the next chapter of my riding journey. Someday, she will be mine. 😄

Ewan McGregor and Charley Boorman are back! Their fourth “Long Way” series “Long Way Home” sees them tackling Europe on vintage motorbikes, and I’m loving it. After a slightly bumpy “Long Way Up,” where the electric motorcycle charging issues became a bit of a drag, they seem to have found their stride again. I’ve only seen the first two episodes, but I’m already hooked and can’t wait for the rest of the season!

Kiki and I set off on a fun ride east, exploring the backroads past Taylor. We successfully dodged most of the rain, only getting caught in a light shower towards the end of our trip. But the dramatic clouds made for a beautiful backdrop! What a great ride.

For me, nothing beats unwinding with a great motovlog travel video. I’m a big fan of Seaman’s channel in particular. I love seeing her ride cool motorbikes and explore fascinating places in Japan – it’s such a fun and relaxing experience!
