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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

Ryan F9 has become a YouTube sensation thanks to his wit, no-nonsense on-camera presence, and entertaining video montages.
