I was disappointed to recently find out that 20th Century Cycles, the personal collection of Billy Joel, is soon to be no longer. It looks like Billy is moving his bikes down to Florida so the building that they’ve been in since 2009 (which was previously a carpet store and then a child’s tumbling studio) is now going to find …

As discussed in my review of the Yamaha R9, the world of “Supersport” has changed dramatically. Gone are the days of inline-4 600s, now we’ve got twins/triples/fours with a variety of displacements. Something else I discussed in my review was my fandom of Josh Hayes, so it was very cool to see him pull off yet another win (and the …

On Saturday at the Handbuilt Show, I decided to take a little walk around the venue with my phone and film some highlights. Come follow along!

At the Handbuilt Show in Austin, there was a cool cutaway of a Yamaha XS500 in the corner that I thought you’d appreciate. I considered making this a Guess That Bike, but I figured we should just get right into the good stuff…so here you go!

Back in October, I was at Barber to race in the final round of AHRMA when a mini school bus parked across from my pit. Lo an behold, the doors open and my buddies from RevZilla pop out! They told me about a video that they were filming and I could immediately tell it was going to be a good …

When Vy and I travel, I like to get photos of motorcycles in the area to share. We recently found ourselves in Fairbanks, Alaska to ring in the New Year and catch the Northern Lights but the temperature ranged from a toasty -5 degrees to a less-toasty -38 degrees the whole time we were there and as you can imagine, …

Ever since Yamaha took me to check out a Supercross race in San Diego a couple of years ago I’ve been hooked – the racing is fantastic and the spectacle is impressive if you’re able to catch it in person, I think MotoGP could learn a few things from them. There’s also stuff that SX can learn from other organizations, …

The curiousities continue from Solvang: here’s a bike I had never heard of before and it’s apparently one of one. Meet the Velox!

Time for another quick look at the cool stuff in the Solvang Motorcycle Museum – this time with one of the oldest offerings they’ve got!

In my recent post about attending the Quail (which you should join me for), commenter Starmag mentioned the replica Moto Guzzi V8 at the Solvang Motorcycle Museum and it reminded me that I still have some bikes to share from my visit there on the way back from last year’s Quail. Let’s get back to it!

Created by Rob Cerundolo, the Cycles Classic Cafe and Museum is located at Cycles 128 in Beverly, Massachusetts. It’s a wonderful (and free) museum where you can check out a varied collection of motorcycles – and it happens to be a short drive away from where I grew up. So the last time I went home to check in on …

The Dakar has started! Over the last couple of years, the Dakar organization has done a better job of providing coverage (it used to be pretty dreadful) and now each day we get extended highlights from the different stages. It still isn’t enough for my liking, but I’m not asking for a refund seeing as it’s free. They won’t let …

A client came by this week with one of the most expensive motorcycles currently available for sale – the $70,098 (!) MV Agusta Superveloce 1000 Serie Oro. I had to snap some photos – what do you think of it?

Hosted by the Southern California Norton Owners Club, the Hansen Dam Rally is one of the largest classic British motorcycle events in the US. It’s an excellent opportunity to check out some classic Britbikes and talk shop with their owners, so that’s what I did yesterday. Here are some of my highlights!

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 …
