With the weather warming up, it is officially motorcycle season. As the days warm up, we ll start seeing more and more bikes on the road. If you don t ride, this may not mean much to you other than that you need to keep an extra eye out for our friends on two wheels.
If you do ride, you know that there are some superstitions and traditions tied to being out on the road. There s the Gremlin Bell - which everyone I ve ever known that had a motorcycle has had hanging from the underside of the bike. The legend being that the ringing of the bell scares away any kind of road gremlins that might reach up and pull your bike to the ground. It s even said that it s bad luck to buy your own bell and that it should be gifted to you instead.

Quarantine. Pandemic. Lockdown. Unprecedented. Unmute. Zoom. Mail-in. Coronavirus. Crazy … What would you choose as the word of the year for 2020?
For the first time in its annual selection, the Oxford English Dictionary didn’t name just one word. Instead, it’s a list of words elected to reflect the mood, ethos and preoccupations of the year.
In a year that we claim left us speechless, we sure had strong opinions about a lot of stuff. And if we’re being honest, quite a bit of hypocrisy was laced in those views, as well as in the mandates issued. Yet, as long as the word “protest” was used to define our actions and to give meaning to mandates ignored, it was evidently lawful to loot and burn down cities.
