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 …

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!
