I recently saw a Japanese car customiser that had taken a Ferrari F40 and “stanced” it like you would with...

Perhaps the greatest compliment a rider can receive is that of a passenger wanting to ride with you. Not only are they completely ignoring all the advice their mother gave them as a child, they’re setting aside sound judgment and quite literally putting their life in your hands. If that...
Are you currently contemplating the purchase of a vehicle? Finding yourself torn between the allure of a car and the...
We entered the 8th annual Women’s Motorcycle Show passing by a parking lot packed with a sea of motorcycles, and...
Ever heard of a “cool down lap?” It’s the circuit you do of a racetrack on your bike between trying to set your best time and pulling back into the pits. Usually there’s still other bikes on track, so you can’t just crawl around the track at walking speed. You’ve...
Early Fox Raceway in Pala, California, is still as ice, prepped, and a breathing ground for the need to ride....
I still remember when the original “John Wick” (2014) hit the screen. It was almost Halloween, Ninja Turtles had won...
This article is not a review of motorcycle gear. It contains only two motorcycle pictures. It’s not about what some may consider a motorcycle story, yet for me, it has EVERYTHING to do with how motorcycles bind us. It embodies the quote I’ve followed for most of my adult life,...
What is the pursuit of speed but the unparalleled thrust of girth into the void where noise is last and...

This is a custom-made race bike built by Joe Schmidt. The engine is punched out to 750cc and uses a Bonneville transmission. It has Ducati front forks. The rear hub is sourced from a factory Yamaha race bike. A rare bike, it is one of two Triumph engine racing motorcycles...

Next time you see some dinky little beginner’s bike, pit bike, pocket bike or el-cheapo Chinese knock-off that makes you chuckle thanks to it’s underwhelming features, poor build quality, or just plain lack of a single memorable trait to make it stand out from the crowd, take a moment to...
What’s that old adage about making something more attractive by telling someone they can’t have it? Well, if ever there...
Last month’s little ditty on on-road two-stokes was just the start. And while we love us some asphalt action, there’s...
Easy Rider. Motorcycle Diaries. World’s Fastest Indian. These same old, same old movies always seem to be included in top 5 lists of moto flicks like some Groundhog Day nightmare with bikers instead of weathermen. And while we’ve certainly written about the motorcycle from The Batman, or the bike from...
The picture I’ve placed above is an interesting one. For those not in the know, it’s an image from the...
When I started getting into the Powersports industry, I was floored by the number of brands doing innovative things in...
If you’re a child of the ’70s and ’80s like me, your first experience of motorcycle ice racing will probably be a lot like mine. The first time I ever contemplated the idea of motorcycles having bloody great spikes in their tyres was when I saw Roger Moore in the...
Tell us honestly, what’s the first thing that pops into your mind when you think of Finland? For hockey fans,...
For the longest time, if you mentioned the name Royal Enfield, the first thing most people thought of was a...

What a blast! Five of us, 15 days, 7 countries and 2,414 miles. It was definitely an adventure!!! Like many other people, our travelling biking adventures had been curtailed to our own country for the past two years (of which we had some great biking adventures) and so this trip,...
The past two years have seen something happen in the motorcycle market that hasn’t happened for a while: motorcycle sales...
When someone mentions Italian motorcycles, the first image that goes through pretty much everyone’s head is that of a sleek,...
While you could argue that all bikers have a little bit of crazy in them, anybody with a decent amount of riding experience under their black leather belts will tell you that there’s dangerous bikes and then there’s dangerous bikes. The first kind are any bikes with decent power. The...
At first glance, reviewing motorcycles and riding gear for a living may seem like a bit of a dream job....
The 1970s and 1980s were a golden age for forced induction engines. Like shoulder pads in suits and mascara on...
Ryan F9 has become a YouTube sensation thanks to his wit, no-nonsense on-camera presence, and entertaining video montages. I appreciate the artistry and dialogue in his videos but take issue with inaccuracies in some of them. Contrary to how he presents himself, Ryan isn’t a helmet safety expert. Very few...
