Yike Bike
Very cool if you haven’t seen it yet. Obviously not intended for anything other that urban areas, but still a great idea. Their website says that they are not planning to import them to the US in the near future since their main market is Europe and NZ but I would expect them to show up here sooner or later. The neat thing is that this is a 1st generation vehicle- so we can expect some new ideas in the future. Read More →

Deals Gap on a Gold Wing… Crazy
So, if you haven’t ever seen this, it is worth watching. This guy lives up there and obviously has the course dialed in. But still, this is impressive. The guy filming is also on a Wing and you can hear his footpegs scraping in every corner. (Thanks for the link Jerry!) this guy once did 106 runs on deals gap in 24 hours fastest run about 11 minutes. He makes video’s from your ride on Deals Gap (don’t try to outrun this guy) Read More →
Deer vs. Motorcycle… Amazing
I have fixed a few bikes when guys have hit deer, and it is always a lot worse than this. The fact that he kept the bike up and didn’t crash is amazing. Probably more luck than skill, but hey, it’s better to be lucky than good sometimes! Read More →

Yamaha R1 vs. Aprilia RSV4
When you pit 2 bikes like this against each other, you have to remember that they are so close and so good that you are really comparing preferences instead of hard data. I suspect that 2 different testers may well have picked a different winner- and as they point out, on the racetrack everything changes. Even the egonomics will make one bike better than the other depending on the rider. So, take your pick from 2 awesome bikes! Read More →

New MV Agusta F4 Video
Last year’s F4 had a MSRP of $25,000.00 so I would expect this new model to be somewhere north of that considering the dollars weakness vs. the Euro. Still, if you have the money- even in this economy, it would be hard to find something better to spend it on. Great video- Read More →
