This page was started by a few guys who love motorcycles and road racing. We write about the motorcycle industry, racing, riders and anything else that we find interesting.
We write from our point of view, an everything you read here is based on our opinions. We don't represent anyone other than ourselves, and we're not affiliated with any organization, series, sanctioning body or political group.
We love motorcycles, so we write about the sport for people who also love motorcycles. It's just that simple.

A comforting drone from a well- tuned motorcycle as it pensively waits the opportunity to show you it's mettle. An adventurous bead of sweat drips from my forehead and runs the length of the nose before finally base jumping into the abyss...

$299.99 Almost everywhere (If they’re much cheaper, make sure you’re not buying fakes)
At some point during Sunday’s trackday at Road Atlanta (review forthcoming, I promise), I passed Ryan on the back straight and flipped him off. . .because t...

Going to the track is usually a pretty selfish activity. You go for the racing, the fellowship, and the out-and-out escape from the rest of the world. We’ve all selfishly procrastinated on chores, significant others, family, and other responsibilities to go play Ro...

Dunlop, I’d be lying if I said it’s not you. It is you. It’s your lack of commitment after your 2nd or 3rd heat cycle and your ever-changing stories about where you’re from. One day, you’re from the UK, then you’re a sexy French tire, and f...

Road Atlanta, June 7th
WERA Cycle Jam at Road Atlanta was my first race in nearly two years. In preparation, I’d done roughly nine million laps at a trackday (see that story here) there two weeks before, but Road A has always...

I’m often asked about the costs of racing, and the costs of running track days. While I prefer not to ever think about the stupid money I spend on the sport I love, I figured it might be a worthwhile exercise to go through for tho...

Just a few hours ago, the folks at WERA announced they are planning to resurrect the WERA Pro Series in 2015. That’s right: just when it looked like motorcycle racing in the U.S. was at its lowers point in years, WERA grows a big pair of y...

A few years ago, I was a dedicated member of the motorcycling world. I raced WERA, rode and coached trackdays, and occasionally was invited to work on AMA crews. While I had friends in the other areas of my life, I spent...

Let’s get it out of the way. The owner/seller is obviously “that guy.” The listing is such a doucheapalooza that it almost eclipses the fact that this bike appears to be a serious, serious motorcycle. I will put money on t...

So I constantly hear people tell me how a 600cc sportbike isn't fast enough to fulfill their need for speed, and that a 1000cc bike is a better fit for XYZ reason. Usually, it's about the same time they start telling me how fast they are on some local road, and how the...
