Ah, the rhythm of the seasons… Just as October brings foliage to New Hampshire, so June brings us Bike Week. Bike Week has gotten a lot bigger and a lot less 1% since I’ve been in NH – the local tourism officials have figured out there’s serious coin available for extraction.

A Certain Design Student has been keeping his eyes open for a motorcycle. A single, a parallel twin or a parallel trip, displacement in the 500cc – 650cc range – something with some character or something that could be modified. His nosing around led him to a get-together – the Greasebag Jamboree – not the bog-standard full dress HD stuff; instead, Triumphs, bobbers, Beezers. Today was the day – off we went!

It was a blast! Fantastic bikes, nice weather, and L won a motorcycle part in the raffle. The only drawback was that there weren’t any bikes for sale that were anywhere close to our range – the 2 I saw with for sale signs were definitely in the “If you have to ask…” category.
