Exploring the country on motorcycles can be an adventure filled with breathtaking views and endless roads. As The Magpie Flies, a brother-sister duo, combines moto camping with their bike rides, and one of their recent adventures took them to Canyonlands National Park in Utah.

Canyonlands National Park is a vast landscape of red rocks and endless roads, offering a campsite where the duo spent 24 hours. They embarked on their adventure with the “trusty” Suzuki V-Strom 650 and a 2022 Honda Africa Twin borrowed from Honda America.

The video begins with their travel and camping experiences during the first few hours of their 24-hour stay. After enjoying a delicious meal at the campsite and a good night’s sleep, they set off to explore Needle Top Post in Canyonlands. Their first stop is the Needles Visitor Center.

The Needles district of the park covers over 300,000 acres and requires a vehicle with high ground clearance to navigate. Fortunately, the duo’s adventure bikes are well-equipped for the terrain. The area also offers a network of hiking and backpacking trails for outdoor enthusiasts to enjoy.

Rolex Reflects On Its Memories From Monterey Car Week 2023

Last week, the Monterey Peninsula hosted an impressive collection of automotive excellence, ranging from historic gems to futuristic innovations. Enthusiasts and collectors gathered to celebrate the legacies of influential manufacturers, and Rolex, a partner of California’s automotive events since 1997, continued to play a significant role.

On Thursday, August 17th, the Pebble Beach Tour d’Elegance showcased design and style from various decades. Presented by Rolex, the event allowed locals and enthusiasts to immerse themselves in the beauty of classic cars. For the 2023 edition, the tour included a scenic drive to Big Sur. The 20th anniversary of The Quail, A Motorsports Gathering took place on Friday, August 18th, at the Quail Lodge & Golf Club. The event featured more than 200 culturally significant vehicles, and the remarkable 1956 Ferrari 410 Superamerica ‘Super Fast’ was awarded the prestigious Rolex Best of Show title.

The preceding days were equally extraordinary; the Rolex Monterey Motorsports Reunion celebrated racing heritage at the WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca, paying tribute to the 70th anniversary of Corvette. Over 400 vehicles displayed nearly a century of motorsport history, illustrating the passion for preserving these historic automobiles for future generations to enjoy.

The grand finale, the renowned Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance, took place on Sunday, August 20th, at the legendary golf course. The 18th fairway sparkled with pristine cars from 1906 to 1998, with special emphasis on leading brands like Lamborghini, McLaren, and Porsche showcasing their iconic models. The event reached its peak when the 1937 Mercedes-Benz 540K Special Roadster was named the Best of Show, and owner Jim Patterson received a specially engraved Oyster Perpetual Datejust 36 from Rolex. Monterey Car Week 2023 was more than an automotive event; it was a heartfelt tribute to the automotive masterpieces that shape our lives and provide a glimpse into the future of motoring.

Listen To Lamborghini Revuelto’s V12 Engine For Five Minutes In This Video

The Revuelto is Lamborghini’s newest flagship supercar, offering incredible performance, a stunning design, and an exhilarating driving experience. It was introduced this year as the successor to the Aventador and is powered by a naturally aspirated 6.5-liter V-12 engine combined with three electric motors, delivering a total of 1,001 horsepower. While the hybrid powertrain’s power output is impressive, it’s the sound of the V12 engine that truly captures the spirit.

This video on Varryx’s YouTube channel provides five minutes of pure sound from the V12 engine of the Lamborghini Revuelto. Whether it’s burbling at low speeds, percolating at idle, or ripping through the Nurburgring, its throaty baritone sound is distinct and characteristic of Lamborghini’s heritage from Sant’Agata Bolognese.

The Revuelto’s aggressive wedge-shaped bodywork harkens back to the angular shape of the Aventador and the twin grille front end of the Murcielago. Its low-slung, aerodynamic profile and scissor doors make it unmistakably Lamborghini and guarantee attention wherever it is parked. It’s a car meant to be seen, starting a parade wherever it goes.

However, it’s the engine that truly defines this car. Positioned mid-ship, the heart of the Revuelto is a 12-cylinder beast that roars up to a redline of 9,500 rpm. Paired with an eight-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission, Lamborghini claims it can go from 0 to 60 mph in under 2.5 seconds and reach a top speed of 217 mph, given enough runway.

Unlike earlier Lamborghini models like the original Countach and its Diablo successor, the Revuelto offers a more luxurious driving experience. It has a larger, more comfortable interior than the Aventador, with some space behind the seats and a frunk large enough for a week’s worth of luggage. Keeping up with current trends, it features an infotainment touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity. The dashboard is fully digital and even includes a display in front of the passenger for speed and other performance metrics.

Like all Lamborghinis, the Revuelto is named after a famous fighting bull, in this case, a particularly feisty Spanish bull from 1880. It’s a fitting name for Lamborghini’s latest supercar, which is expected to be available by the end of this year.
