There are sportbikes, long distance tourers, dirt bikes, choppers…each category has unique requirements that might not belong to bikes in other categories, but makes perfect sense in its place. If there were a category for city-bike, then one would imagine cb’s would have to be maneuverable through tight traffic (no choppers or GoldWings please), easy to [...]

Roughly the size and population of New York City, only with much nicer roads (they don’t have winter ice and salt to eat up the asphalt) – this pretty ordinary looking commute makes me want to put on a white suit and take a road trip.

The perfect city motorcycle should have the best of both worlds: easy to ride and get around traffic (like a beginner bike), but with enough performance to have fun getting out of town hitting the twisties. Generally sportbikes are too sporty (Mr. T. says, “I pity the fool riding a 1098 in Manhattan”), cruisers [...]

Remember that video I made of a ride down Northern Blvd? Remember I said there’s no good reason to watch it? Well, yeah this is another one of those… Except for the mildly interesting thing that’s mentioned in the title here… (hint: it’s all the way at the end). Cheers!

What kind of scooter would Rossi ride? Why Yamaha of course… Since there was no MotoGP this weekend for race fans (so as not to compete for viewers with Indy), here’s what the reigning champion seems to do on his down time.

You know the feeling, you have a motorcycle so on a long weekend you want to go for a nice long ride… So where are you planning to go?
As for me, I’ll be sleeping in, hanging around with friends in the city, drinking Bass Shady and eating chips (not fries, chips).

This is exactly like my typical ride around the city…if I lived in Paris, and if you were to watch one of my rides in fast forward, and edit out all the parts where I get stuck behind a cab making a left turn from the right lane, or picking up passengers. But seriously, the [...]
