The life of a Motorcycle.com editor is mostly the same as yours – good days balanced by ones we’d rather forget. Hammering out endless streams of words for your education and entertainment steals opportunities for the seat time behind a handlebar we all crave, and we have several friends who spend more hours riding than we’re allowed. But then every so often our motojournalist cards can provide entry into the kinds of experiences most civilians can only dream of.

There was so much to see at this year’s EICMA show in Italy, including more than 35 new motorcycles ready to fill showrooms in 2017.

The vast majority of our time as MO editors is spent slumped over behind our computer screens, not behind a pair of handlebars. Corner us in a bar on an off night, and we might bend your ear whining about how little time we spend riding motorcycles.
