RawHyde Adventures: Buying a bike, Intro to Adventure, BCA

June 24, 2016/ Mosey Levy

Where are you on your motorcycle journey? It's what you've been through to get to the rider you are today. If this was a video game,what level would you be at? If you've read my Joining the Boxer club post recently, you'll have an idea of where I was on that journey. That was BEFORE my recent trip to California. Going to Raw Hyde was like warp zones from mario brothers, allowing me to quickly get through levels in a very compacted amount of time. The short version is, I bought a used bike from raw hyde, then went to them for a 2 day Intro to Adventure course, followed by a 2 day adventure in the desert (BCA). Read on for more detail....

Joining the Boxer Club

March 19, 2016/ Mosey Levy

How long have you been riding? It’s a question you hear often amongst riders and you’ll usually hear an answer based on time. I myself have been riding for about 2.5 years. How that equates to experience though, not very well. In reality, a better way to gauge experience would be mileage. It’s not the only way, there are a lot of other factors, but to me mileage is a better measurement. I've ridden around 25k miles in those 2.5 years. A lot has happened since then, and now, I join the Boxer Club.

10K Miles in 11 Months

May 03, 2015/ Mosey Levy

First 11 months on this bike. Not bad for my 2nd year of riding. I think I sold my G650GS with around 8500 miles. So I'm creeping on 20k miles. I took a ride out with my wife, first ride of the season with her, and hit the 10K with her on it. It felt so good to have her on the back. Some more photos after the jump.

West Side Spill

February 20, 2015/ Mosey Levy

I took a little spill this week. My first. I've been thinking about what my first would be like for a while now. I knew it would happen eventually. Lucky for me it went well. And yes, it was my fault.

July 26, 2014/ Mosey Levy

“2222 miles in 3 months. Not bad. Also I need to clean the bike.”

Moto Camping - Solo - Take 1

June 25, 2014/ Kittatinny Campgrounds/ Mosey Levy

I finally got out there. I’ve been wanting to do this for months and I’ve been prepping for it. A very small first trip. I had a good excuse too. I had to work upstate for the day on Tuesday so I went up late Monday night and camped nearby. Warning: this write up should be interesting to no one but myself. Still.. It is exciting to me. My first time! Gotta start somewhere. Just to be clear though – I’ve been camping many many times – just never by myself and never on a Moto.

Entering The Parallel Universe

June 04, 2014/ Mosey Levy

I’ve been thinking about this for months, ever since I test drove that F800GS I was so impressed from the smoothness of that engine. I continued loving my G650, but I knew I was ready for more. Of course being me I reseached the hell out of it. I decided the F700 was a great fit for me right now…..
