About this time of year, out with these guys in central Idaho, years back... Good days. Ponyboy and I miss the shit out of you two... "Solid" Brett, and "Bone" Kev. GBNF
Tiger XRX @pollachi This 800cc sports tourer with 95 ps at 9250rpm and 78nm torque at around 7000rpm simply glides on the road. The bike defines the phrase "I am not riding fast I m flying low". Triumph has equipped it with state of the art traction control, abs and onboard computer which handles the additional 3 preset riding modes which make it very comfortable and safe for longer rides even for amature riders. It even features cruise control with just a press of button so no more holding onto the acceleration on open highways. This monster simply looks good, feels good and handles very well.... #triumph #harbourcitytriumph #triumphindia #triumphriders #triumphtiger #triumphmotorcycles #tigerxrx #triumphmotorcyclesindia #premiumbikes #speed #bikesofinstagram #bikers #roadtrip #triumphnation #tigertrails #motovarnan #inspiroindia #triumph_uk #motorcycles #fastbikes #touring #touringbike #bikerslife #bikelovers #roadtripping #ride #explore #pollachi #india (at Pollachi)
The same examples can be found for leg protection and other safety gear. It's annoying sometimes but yes... safety first! Ride safe folks. Too many things can happen so fast... especially when other drivers are involved.

If you like Speed and the magical desert, and am not talking about Burning Man, this for you! Welcome to the Annual Bonneville Speedweek.
This famous race has been around since the early 1930's. There are some cars and bikes here that I have never seen in my life and they are here in the majestic Salt Flats of Utah to beat world speed records. There are over 500 entries for this race and speeds going over 400MHP. That is crazy, but these wonderful pictures caught my eye and I became fascinated.
This ain't Driving Miss Daisy! xo
If you want to see how fast these people go, here are some amazing videos.
