As you might remember, I’m a fan of bikes, and that includes motorcycles! This weekend was spent ogling vintage and modern motorcycles at the IMS Outdoors Motorcycle Show. The event took place at the OC Fair & Event Center in Costa Mesa, California. Those in attendance who have their motorcycle license can test drive any and all motorcycles to their heart’s content. I do not have mine, but I did get the chance to test drive the Liv electric mountain bike — man, that was fun!
Test riding Liv electronic mountain bike.
There were spaces for vendors where you could buy helmets, leather jackets, biker boots and even coffee. I really enjoyed checking out the bike tents and sitting on dream bikes, with brands like BMW, Royal Enfield and your standard Kawasaki, Suzuki, Harley Davidson and Indian showcased. It was also really cool to see electronic bikes; Zero Motorcycle was there representing the new side of the industry.
This is a great event to get a feel for different types of bikes and makes. You can even learn to ride here if you come prepared with your helmet. This was my first time at this event, so I will be better prepared next year.
Check out a few of the vintage bikes on display!
And as outdoor events go, you know you can always count on some impressive food. Check out this mountain of curly fries my friends and I grabbed to refuel — lunch of champions, amirite?
Wishing you all a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday ahead!

Apr 22, 2024Meet 5 Women Shaping the Brixen/South Tyrol Travel Experience
Although a destination’s terrain, cuisine and cultural attributes always draw travelers in, it is often the people they meet that make the trip an enduring memory rather than a box to be checked off. It’s a job responsibility that people working around the Plose and adjoining town of Brixen (in Italy’s Trentino-Alto Adige region) take seriously. This is even more true for five women dedicated to introducing visitors to new aspects of the time-honored ski, leisure and hiking mountain destination in the Dolomites.

Apr 17, 2024Mindfulness City in Kingdom of Bhutan Unveiled as Future Economic Hub
In front of an audience of 30,000 Kingdom of Bhutan residents and officials, His Majesty King Jigme Khesar Namgyel Wangchuck presented his vision for a new economic hub in Bhutan. Located between India to the south and China to the north, Bhutan is one of the most beautiful destinations in the world. Bhutan came late to global tourism. It opened its borders to international visitors in 1974 and, while tourism definitely increased, residents are enduring “light” rush-hour traffic in Thimphu, its capital city, as the only Asian capital without traffic lights.

Apr 17, 2024Amansara Review
It was more than a car journey; it was a transition between worlds. At our first hotel in Siem Reap, huge coaches constantly pulled up outside the lobby to deposit or receive international tour groups; we departed in very different style, in a 1965 black Mercedes limousine once owned by King Sihanouk. The mundanities of mass tourism were left behind. We progressed through the chaotic Cambodian streets in regal comfort and soon arrived at a solid gate.
