Video Intermission – Robbie Maddison’s Pipe Dream
Is there anyone doing cooler things on a dirt bike than Robbie Maddison? This is such a trip to watch – now I’ve apparently got to figure out how to put skis on my bike.

I can’t help but laugh every time I watch an Ichiban Moto video. This time he brilliantly diagnoses an electrical issue:
Video Intermission – Police Scooter Chase
Apparently police motorcyclists in Taiwan need faster bikes…but this cop is still able to catch the suspect thanks to an ending that you can probably predict.
Video Intermission – Tire Burn
This video is incredible for two reasons. First, when after the drag racer Filippos Papafilippous (what a name) loses control of his bike and smacks into his competitor at almost 200 miles per hour, he ends up landing on his competitor’s wheelie bar like he’s in Mission Impossible. Second,
Video Intermission – Disappearing Engine

View PostVideo Intermission – Corvair-Powered Harley
I’m not sure what this should be called. A Harvair? Corvair-Davidson? Whatever you call it, it’s well done. A week ago or so, I featured a custom bike for sale that was powered by a Corvair 6 – it was incredibly long. Commenter Wayne Thomas noted that someone had done the same thing, but within a stock Harley frame. It’s …
Picture Intermission – Crossing the US on 1 Tank of Gas
While researching the Don Vesco Cafe Royal bodywork of the recently-featured CB400F, I ended up getting sucked into the world of aftermarket fairings. One of the most interesting stories I stumbled upon was that of Matt Guzzetta, a business partner of Vesco in the 70s and 80s, who at one point went from San Diego, California to Daytona Beach, Florida …
