Places - Are you looking for an excuse to ride? These destinations will give you one. From Ohio, to New York, to Pennsylvania here are some very good reasons for hitting the road. Articles and photos from the grand opening of the AMA's headquarters and museum,  metropolitan New York City motorcyclists' favorite destination, Bear Mountain,  Reading, Pennsylvania's Vintage Aircraft Museum, Lock Haven, Pennsylvania's annual power boat regatta, the finest Catskill Mountain town of Margaretville, and Philadelphia motorcyclists' most popular Sunday destination, New Hope, are all documented.

Things - Most of these articles are about motorcycle organizations and the events they host, but others are about some of the more interesting bikes that have been constructed by individuals or produced by manufacturers. The 186 rear wheel horsepower Kawasaki Turbo (Purple Passion) and the "who knows how many?" rear wheel horsepower Suzuki Katana Turbo (Overkill) were built by very different enthusiasts sharing a common desire for one upmanship. One article is a retro-review of the 1980s turbo bikes and an evaluation of the 1982-83 Yamaha Turbo and another lists the maximum minimum required for a long weekend of sport touring your favorite roads.
