Usually when I have a “Guess That Bike” post, I know what the bike is and I only share a little piece to challenge you. This time, I have no idea what I stumbled upon so I’m going to share everything and I hope you can educate me! Maybe I should call this “Tell Me What This Is” instead of …

2024 was the 14th year of the Quail and unfortunately the most significant guest of the day was rain. Still, like every other Quail it was a fun day full of great bikes and better people – I’m looking forward to going back next year! Let’s take a look at who won awards this time around:

Update: Here’s the review! The last time I reviewed a MT-09 (in 2020), I said that “I wondered if Yamaha’s legal department was on vacation when the MT-09 was in development.” It was a ton of fun, but it lacked refinement in certain areas.

OK – this isn’t really going to tell you much about what the Kramer is like to ride and/or own, but I can’t help myself. I was on the fence for a while about what I would do with the Kramer from a cosmetic standpoint. That question answered itself when I was at Circuit of the Americas.

Never signed up for an AHRMA event before? Neither have I. Let’s do it together!

When I was in Spain for the Stelvio launch, Moto Guzzi also gave us reviewers half a day (75 miles) with the new V85. I wasn’t allowed to mention anything about it previously but the embargo has been lifted, so…here you go!

Tonight I fly out for the East Coast for a 2-part trip – I’m going to spend some time with my business partner Adam working on Iconic East (our facility in Bristol, Rhode Island), then I’m going to spend some time with my dear mother where I grew up in Andover, Massachusetts.

I don’t know what the highest-mileage Tesi 3D in the world is, but I’m on a quest to claim the title. This month, I hit 10k – let’s see how the last 2,500 miles have been!
