The AMA website is having a “Most beautiful bike of all time” soundoff on their site. A large number or extremely varied opinions are expressed. Fun to see what other people think. My vote goes to the Ducati 916/998. Beautiful, but a torture rack to ride for any distance. Funny how things in life are [...]

If you haven’t heard or seen yet, Nicky Hayden won the MotoGP Championship today with his 3rd place finish at Valencia. As it turns out, Rossi didn’t figure into it after he crashed on lap 5. The big surprise was the 1-2 finish of the Ducati’s which looked very strong. [...]

I saw this Dunlop site linked over at Autoblog and thought some of you guys would really like some of the videos. There are 2 Isle of Man TT videos that are good, and some of the car stuff is pretty entertaining too.

Some of the world’s rarest and obviously most expensive motorcycles were auctioned off after the death of Otis Chandler. He had an amazing collection of antique and classic cars and bikes.
Chandler, publisher of the Los Angeles Times from 1960-80, died earlier this year at age 78. A strapping “man’s man” with matinee-idol good looks, Chandler [...]

Here is a short comedy clip that is worth watching. Pretty good, but he forgot Kawasaki and Ducati…

OK, this is just for fun. Bikes in the Fast Lane had this video up, and I had to post it. Very funny in a European sort of way.

Femmoto arranges track days so that the ladies can also hone their riding skills in an obviously male dominated sport. I like the picture of the “umbrella guy”.
 
With so many women getting into motorcycling, I think we will see more of these kind of things. It is pretty obvious that the major players in the [...]

I saw this over at Autoblog and thought that it would be a good video for the bike world even though it is actually a 4 cyl car engine. Since the principles are exactly the same for a motorcycle engine, it is a great video that shows what is involved in even the simplest of engines. [...]

Endurance races are great for the sport, but they aren’t all that fun to watch- especially an 8 hour race. Maybe if you tune in at the end and can figure out where everyone is and what lap they are on it might be fun to watch the finish. But they do separate [...]

From Honda’s Media Newsroom-
The 2007 CBR600RR doesn’t merely extend the performance envelope in the class. It redefines what a middleweight sportbike should be: smaller, lighter, narrower, more powerful and amazingly agile compared to current class standards. Moreover, in keeping with a tradition Honda established with the introduction of the very first CBR600, the 2007 CBR600RR [...]

The AMA site has a  article up that looks at the new Kingpin, but also shows some of the new stuff that Victory has in the works. They have apparently done a good job at staying focused on their market, and it is paying off with nice bikes and good sales figures. You can read the [...]

Kenny Coolbeth finally won the AMA Flat Track Championship after a 3 week weather delay. Sounds like a very happy guy-
“This is just the greatest thing ever, first getting the Factory ride, now the Grand National Championship. I’ve wanted this, my whole life.” said Harley-Davidson Motor Company / Screamin’ Eagle’s Kenny Coolbeth. The twenty nine year [...]

Nicky Hayden is probably still pinching himself to see if he can wake up from the nightmare in Portugal. His teammate crashed him out of the race and left him 8 pts down to Rossi with one race left in the season. For Hayden to win the championship, he will have to win in Spain [...]

Annual Concours d’Elegance was held last weekend in Ohio and they had some great bikes there including the world record holding BUB streamliner which set the 2 wheel land speed record last month at 350mph. Check out some of great pictures and info on other vintage and classic bikes that were competing for the top [...]
