In which a badass dude gives me an badass-er gift. I know that’s not a word.

The Tesi keeps chugging along – let’s see how the last 2,500 miles have been!

In which I don’t really talk about a CB160 at all.

Fast forward several months and I still didn’t have a running engine in my race bike. My procrastination was not paying off.

It’s definitely not obvious from the posts so far, but this series isn’t supposed to be solely about the bike – it’s about going racing for the season and all the fun/misery that goes with it. I’ve been getting several questions about why I’m looking to race such a tiny bike, so for this installment I want to go back …

This year, Iconic is having some fun with MotoGP Fantasy. Come join us!

In which I go from too nice to too…not nice.

I just bought myself an early birthday present! Seeing as I’m already going to be at Barber Motorsports Park for the last race of the AHRMA race season this year, it was a no-brainer to sign up for Nate Kern’s DoubleRFest the day after (October 14th). Come join me!

Update: The review is live on RevZilla. Well, I’ve just gotten back home from Almeria, Spain for the press launch of the new Moto Guzzi Stelvio, and it’s time for me to collect my thoughts for a written review. What would you like to know about it?

The BMW Motorcycle Owners of America is deeply tied to a charity group called the Motorcycle Relief Project which supports military and first responders who are battling PTSD, and this year they’re raffling off a BMW R80ST!

Well, the Italian firm also puts on events for those of you that like to get dirty. They call it the Tuareg Experience, and this February you can join them …

It’s time for another round of my favorite posts to share: Bought on Bike-urious! This time we’ve got an Ducati MHR 900 that was bought by Bike-urious reader John K!

I did a separate post about my experience at Circuit of the Americas with Aprilia Racers Days but that was focused on the event, not my bike of choice. I highly recommend you check out the above post (and I also highly recommend that you join me at CotA next year), but here’s what I have to share about the …

My first bike was a 2008 Kawasaki Ninja 250, and while it was a pleasant enough way to get started in the world of motorcycling, it was also a sign of how depressing the 250cc sportbike market was in the US for years. Nowadays you can get all kinds of 250-400cc entry level sportbikes here, but throughout the 90s and …

Back when I was a much younger and better man, I used to ride Baja at least twice a year. Life has gotten in the way and the last time I was down there was six years ago with my buddy Spurgeon Dunbar from RevZilla – we rode a couple of BMW R1200GSes from Los Angeles down to Cabo on …
