Entrance Sign onto the Weirs Strip The 2021 Laconia bike week was a wonderful sight this year since last year it was more or less not even held. Last year they allowed cars on the strip and no parking. This year the magic was back. Albeit a more subdued event this year with a noticeable shortage of vendors and events, but what was there was well done and a welcomed detour. We spent 3 days in the area. Day 1 The first day we traveled by boat to the Weirs and walked around.

A while back I saw a post on an instagram feed where this guy put a motorcycle on his mantle above his fireplace. To be fair, it was really on top of the stone work, all lit up and looked like a bachelor pad any guy would love to own. I asked my wife how come we don't have my motorcycle inside as I walked around the house looking for a place to put it. To no one's surprise, she said in a diplomatic way that it probably wouldn't be the best idea. Dejected but not deterred, I went about my day. Well today I asked again... I didn't get no either. Of course she wasn't home and on a…

No, I didn't hike up this time. I went up the easy way. This Triumph Motorcycle climbed Mount Washington! Rocket 3 Triumph with a view I had a nice fall Saturday all to myself. Headed up to the lake house to get a few things done. Since the girls were not showing up until that evening, I grabbed the motorcycle, stuck on my GPS and headed up to Mount Washington. I have always wanted to climb the auto road via motorcycle. Attempted it many years back but we the group of us showed up at the base, the attendants had to inform us that they closed down the road to motorcycles due to the high winds. I wish I knew…

Tonight was the last night for the Wednesday Motorcycle meet up in Milford New Hampshire. And what an absolutely perfect night it ended up being! After a couple of weeks of cold and rainy weather, today broke that repetition and the sun came out with temperatures nearing 80° Was a fine way to end this weekly tradition. Until next year!!

This year I participated in the DGR ride. It's a ride to promote men's health - prostate cancer awareness, suicide prevention, etc. Not only is it a good cause, but it's one where we get to ride on "vintage style" or vintage motorcycles. Any excuse for me to pull out my 1968 Triumph T120R. 1968 Triumph Bonneville The day started early and Paul and I hopped on my Triumph motorcycles and headed down the road for the meet up. Heading to Milford, NH where we met up at the Union Coffee Co. They had a big part in putting this together and I've very thankful for them doing this. Roughly 40+ people showed up on everything from 1938 Indian motorcycles,…
