For some reason, this makes me like his music even better… And he’s no poseur. He has some great commentary on why people like motorcycles (right at the end), and why the British hot-rodders (Cafe Racers) went in a totally different direction from American hot-rodders (choppers)!

To watch this MCN vid to answer the question (they present) is a little like buying a Playboy to read its articles… Yes people read the articles, but that’s not why they buy it. And unlike most amateur ride videos on YouTUBE with death metal soundtracks – MCN is kind enough to let us hear [...]

Of all the places to visit and ride, I never really thought of Sicily…until this. As for Pirelli tires, I’ve heard mixed reviews. And although I don’t know first hand (so take this with a spoon of salt) people who go with Dunlop or Michelin sport/ sport-touring tires seem to be much happier [...]

You can throw your leg over all the newest bikes and chase away the “I can’t ride today” winter blues… If you’re planning to go you can save $5 by buying your tickets online here and using [...]

[Once again found on motoblog.it - go check it out!]
Let’s see you stunt riding hooligans do this! I just have two questions: 1, where can I get me some of those spiked tires? And 2, can you still ride on them when on parts where the snow is cleared?

It takes a lot of time to learn and master the techniques of riding a motorcycle… But the goal of all that mastery should be [a] to be able to ride safely within one’s limits, and [b] do so with a sense of ease. Check out how at-ease the young Rossi is on [...]

This video has three things I’d like about now… Warmer weather, a track day, and a nice 2010, CBR 600 RR project bike…
An interesting note about this camera angle is you can see when the rider rolls on the throttle by looking at the weight lifting off the front wheel…

It’s pretty much the last possible weekend for track days in the Northeast. If you like working on lap times, you’ll have to stick to video games for the next few months. Here’s a couple of easy laps on a track I’ve only seen on video games (and TV). Some people like [...]

But the bike itself looks nice. I don’t know why the U.S. Scooter market is so stuck in Vespa mode since the basic design of a scooter is so flexible. BMW’s take is pretty cool looking… But what’s with the cheese?
