Thursday, November 23rd, 2006

Well, you have to see this to believe it- WebBikeWorld has a great article up about an artist who does unique sculptures.

Check out the article on one of the winningest bikes in AMA Superbike history. I had a street version of this bike, and it was a great bike. In fact, the VFR’s might be the most liked bikes ever if you’ve read all the magazines “10 Best” articles over the years. I have never warmed [...]

Learn to Wheelie

One of my jobs is repairing and restoring bikes and one of the things I’ve noticed in the past couple of years is that most of the late model sportbikes I fix are “wheelies gone bad”. So check out this video if you haven’t already seen it. Keep it safe and off the public roads. [...]
