If you need anything, you know how to get a hold of me. I still have the bike trailer if all else fails. This weekend early afternoon a co-worker and I are going to a Yamaha demo day.

MSF BRC trip report: Went with GO Motorcycle Training, at their Irving range. Our instructor Tim was loving awesome, super enthusiastic about motorcycling, laid back and had a good sense of humor but he did a good job covering the dangerous parts appropriately. I was with a friend who decided to try it but was really really struggling and ended up leaving the class first thing this morning; Tim was incredibly patient with her and took lots of time out to talk one-on-one with her and some of the other students that were struggling at times. The bikes were all very new and ran great, I got one of the two XT250s, there was one TW200 and the rest were Groms/Z125s. Honestly the only negative was that the classroom portion took place at the Yamaha dealership in Irving, at a couple folding tables in the corner of the parts department, and one of the sales managers made a pass at us briefly with a $500 "discount card". The new online segment takes a lot of the formality out of the class time, though, so it wasn't as important to have a classroom environment. Anyway I can't speak to the other locations or instructor but Tim at Irving was great and I had a fantastic weekend and I'm really excited about riding motorcycles again.

Nice, congrats on getting back in, we don't get together as often in the area like we used to, but we post up from time to time. Now that it's much cooler out I might see if we can set up a few jaunts through the countryside.

It'll be entertaining if the makers actually show up. Last year only 4 manufacturers actually went to the show so it was about useless. I'm going to go anyway just because.

I’ll be there on Sunday. Mosko Moto is gonna be there with their first riding gear offering and I want a look. My Klim isn’t going anywhere but I like Mosko’s engineering ethos and I like to keep abreast of current trends. I’m also hoping to see the rumored CBR250RR!!!

Looks like Yamaha will be there this year and they'll be doing demo rides.

Not as disappointing as some of the past ones but still somewhat underwhelming. There were somethings I was glad to see, they had a section of bikes for "new riders" with a few selections from each manufacturer. Royal Enfield had a section but it was just a row and there was no one there to talk to, at least on Saturday. The MV Agusta Turismo Veloce was neat but after looking at it, it was a bit of a mess. They put the turn signals in a ridiculous place. Why mount the turn signals in the bark busters? First tip over and they are gone.

I made all these plans to visit demo days this spring that got torpedoed.

Same here. There were a few in the winter just before all this mess started. I got to ride a number of Yamahas and Indians. Though truthfully being single and having the bike is currently the best way to social distance.
