Can-Am is back in the motorcycle game! Tomorrow I’m going to be headed to Austin, Texas for the press launch of the Origin (dual-sport) and Pulse (street) electric motorcycles. While I wait for my flight out, I thought you might enjoy a small peek behind the curtain because we don’t always get to see this kind of thing when a …

This week I shared a behind-the-scenes look at a wonderful shop in Connecticut called SoloMoto. In addition to that video, I also filmed a feature of a very interesting bike that they had up on a lift – a Condor A580 that was getting a 12V conversion, among other work.

I’m flying back home to LA after some time on the East Coast to check out a couple of collections and then check in with my wonderful mother, so I wanted to share some stuff from my trip. Here’s a look at a shop I’m a big fan of: SoloMoto in Greenwich, Connecticut – run by Carlos Escudero.

Vanson Leathers is celebrating their 50th anniversary this year, and I’m ashamed to admit that I don’t know enough about their legendary company. But earlier this month, Adam and I were excited to have the owners of Vanson (the wonderful Mike and Kim van der Sleesen) come by Iconic’s east coast place for a July 4th party that we threw, …

Over at my main gig we’re starting a video series called “Ask Iconic” so people can learn more about all the folks at the company. This started out of a question I randomly asked a couple of our technicians for a social media post: what bike do you regret selling the most? I figured that if I was going to …

Last week, my friend Tara asked me to join her for an episode of her Podcast: Monki Moto. She wanted to chat about my history in motorcycling, how I started Bike-urious, and how that led into Iconic Motorbikes. If you’ve got a real long commute and need to kill some time, feel free to take a listen!

The second wednesday of every month (April through October), an organization called “Moto Social” hosts a get together for motorcyclists and anyone that’s interested in motorcycling. This week, they had the event at a restaurant I’m fond of: Clutch! Let’s see what bikes showed up…

Over at Iconic, we recently got a container of imported motorcycles from the UK and there was a preponderance of purple Suzuki GSX-Rs. One of them was quite striking (not necessarily in a good way) but after I shared it on social media, a comment from Ray S got me thinking that it’d be fun to pose a question to …

A few weeks ago I got an email from Jeff Skinner of Best West Fasteners: he was responding to one of the Daily Digest emails that get sent out when there’s new content here on Bike-urious – you can sign up it yourself here. His response was simple, and the kind of thing I love to hear: “Hi Abhi, you …

I had the pleasure of knocking out a ~180 mile ride last Sunday – here are some of my highlights!

A while back I shared that LEGO and Yamaha were parterning up for a new Technic model for the Yamaha MT-10SP. I guess someone at Yamaha noticed and they kindly sent me one to put together. Come check it out!

Our buddy Starmag (his commenter name) recently visited the Hendersonville Meltdown Classic Motorcycle Show in Hendersonville, North Carolina for their 13th annual show and he was kind enough to share some photos of the bikes on display. Come check them out!

On the way back from the Quail, I stopped at the Solvang Motorcycle Museum. I hadn’t been there in about a decade and it was well worth the detour in our trip. I’m going to share some of my favorites over the next few days and I think I’ll start with the weirdest one: a 1922 Megola.

My favorite bike at the Aprilia Racers Days event at Circuit of the Americas this year wasn’t an Aprilia – though there were several cool ones (including three XTrentas!) No, this year my favorite was a Yamaha (sort of). It’s owned by one of our clients at Iconic Motorbikes and it’s an amazing build around a 2014 British Superbike Spec …
