Motorcyclist has all the stuff on the new Triumphs straight from Triumph. Head on over and browse the info and pictures if you are interested. If you are into the retro 60’s and 70’s look, no one does it better than Triumph. Lots of cool old looking bikes with modern mechanicals and electricals.

Well, most people don’t associate the word “classic” with a Suzuki Katana, but that is only because they don’t look far enough back. Today, Katanas are mentioned in the same sentence with “cheap, starter bike, and outdated” but way back in 1982, Suzuki started the sportbike paradigm shift with the 1000cc Katana. It was crazy [...]

Here is a nice 4 min video that gives you a good feeling for Ultralight flying- my new obsession.

Riding isn’t exactly the right word since a Skycycle is an Ultralight aircraft, but that is sort of what it feels like- very cool. After another lesson last week, I am pretty hooked. I am fortunate to have a really good instructor who not only really knows Ultralight trikes (also called weight-shift Ultralights), but is [...]

Nicky Hayden looked to have a good grasp on the MotoGP championship a few races ago, but with his 5th place finish in Japan, he is holding on to a slim 12pt lead with 2 races to go. Speed has all the details, but it isn’t just Nicky- he has been having [...]

Well, the drama is over and Nicky Hayden announced that he will be staying with Honda for the next 2 years. He said he had some good offers from other teams but in the end, he wanted to stay with the team that had brought him this far. Cycle News has the whole story-
 “Honda’s been [...]

This really falls into the category of “why?” Yet, it is an amazing piece of art. Check it out here.

The NTSB is looking at bike crash and fatality statistics and it worries them because the trend is not good. Older riders on large cc bikes are a huge risk factor.

In the last 10 years, there has been a 230 percent increase in fatalities among motorcycle riders who’ve reached their 40th birthday, according to Umesh [...]

Motorcycle Hall of Fame has a good article on the 1920’s Indian Chief and its development over the years. Interesting to see that Indian was at that time the largest motorcycle company in the world and Harley was just getting started. How times have changed…
Say “Indian Chief,” and you probably think of the voluptuous, skirted-fender [...]

Triumph showed their 2007 line-up at the North American dealer show this past weekend and one of the all new bikes is the Tiger. It is no doubt headed in a sportier direction with the 1050cc motor, braced swingarm, radial mount brakes and other sportbike type enhancements. You can see more  pictures and details here [...]

Honda has told it’s dealers that 2007 will be the last year for 2 stroke dirt bikes. As you can tell by their press releases on the new CRF150R and CRF250R there is a big shift coming in dirt bikes. I wonder how long it will take for 2 stroke dirt bikes to become collectors items?
Torrance, [...]

Ducati has launched the 1100 and 1100S Mulitstrada’s as early release 2007’s. These are one on the most fun all around bikes you can ride, and they have that Ducati “personality” that you either like or dis-like.– 2007 MODEL EARLY RELEASE

The Multistrada 1100 S earns its ‘S’ status by adding world-class suspension and componentry to [...]

Bikes in the Fast Lane has a crazy video of the police chasing a bike somewhere in Europe. The guy had cameras mounted on the front and back of his bike and is obviously toying with the police. Not recommended for safety/legal reasons, but the video is worth watching. It seems like the guy had done [...]

Well, After wanting to do this for a few years, I finally went and started taking lessons to learn how to fly a weight-shift ultralight- usually called “trikes”. They are basically hang glider wings with a seat and motor. It really was amazing since you are not enclosed in a cockpit. There was the initial [...]
