To make up for the lack of seat time, I've decided to look back and recap my season in pictures. The first noteworthy moment happened on January 25th.

That evening, we got an extra moto fix with Triumph’s Brutal Beauty Tour, where we had a chance to take over The Phoenix, grab a few drinks, and ogle their new models.
