Following in the roost from the motocross nationals in Southwick, Mass., last weekend, the fifth annual New England Regional Championship motocross races will take place this weekend in Winchester, NH, which is in the southwestern end of the state. While you’re out there, visit Pisgah state park before the state closes it!

I’ve been crazy about motorcycles for many years now, but I hadn’t been to a motocross race until this past weekend. Did you even know that one of the premiere events in the sport takes place in western Massachusetts, about two hours drive from Nashua?
You would think it would merit at least passing mention in [...]
Before we get to this bulletin from the NH Department of Safety, let me add a few words of my own to all you cell-phone gabbing, sandwich-eating, hair-combing, child-scolding, line-crossing, light-running, no-signal-using, driving-with-intent-to-murder (plural expletive): Please pay attention to the road and others using it while you are driving, before you kill someone like me.

I’ve got the new bike bug, and i’ve got it bad. It’s a common affliction this time of year, along with rider’s itch (you know, itching to ride). I still love my ‘00 Sprint RS, but the sporty riding position doesn’t agree with my arthritic hip, and I’ve concluded that since I may never learn [...]
European Motorcycle Day at the Larz Anderson museum always draws an big crowd to wallow awe-struck in the chromium gleam, especially when the sun is shining. Here were a few of the trinkets that caught my eye:
The weekend of Sept. 20 and 21 is so full of fun things to do, I get giddy just thinking about it. Check it out:
The Seacoast Century is the easiest (because it’s flat) most fun (because riding amongst a few thousand other cyclists is a rush) 100-mile tri-state bicycle rides you could ever do.
We saw them coming as we left Bellows Falls after lunch on Friday; a great gray wall of them marching at double time from the west.
The advance scouts took a few shots at us in Walpole, but their aim was poor and their rounds weak. We detoured from our planned route, keeping to 12 to [...]
