Get On Your Bikes and Ride or Not!

Unlike the lyrics to the Queen hit track “Fat Bottomed Girls,” getting your bike license in the UK has now become a bit of an ordeal; your chances of passing are deliberately being made slimmer and slimmer! The concept of the NannRead more

Beginning Rider

shanna — Thu, 17 Dec 2009 06:00:00 +0100

Many of my friends are riders and always want me to go places with them. I have considered learning to ride but seriously have no idea on where to start. If anyone has any suggestions on what I should do first, I would appreciate the advice! What kind of bike should I learn on? What kind of gear do I really need?

Thanks!

Summers in the city are notoriously hot, especially when you’re sitting in downtown traffic. Riding season was just starting so while gearing up for a short ride one day, I was really anticipating getting out on a nice cool, open stretch of road far from all the heat and traffic. I finish suiting up in my Alpinestars Monza two-piece leather suit, ease on my helmet and gloves and head out.

Normally while traveling this street, I get lucky and make mRead more

Mat Mladin should he move on ??

Julian Taylor — Tue, 21 Jul 2009 05:00:00 +0100

This weekend at the AMA Mid Ohio round Mat Mladin said "He had lost interest in AMA Superbike racing" well if that's the case why stay in it?

Why doesn't he show us really how good he is by moving to another championship like Spies has done. Is he afraid that he might not keep up?

I would love to hear what everyone thinks out there about Mladin and whether he should show his skills outside the U.S.

Looking to Kill Some Time at Work?

Kari Lamanuzzi — Mon, 08 Jun 2009 05:00:00 +0100

It's Monday, which means that you're probably sitting at your desk right now, absolutely hating your job. At least, that's how my Mondays usually go. Most people only like their jobs on payday, so if you're bored and counting the seconds until the clock strikes 5 and you can go home: here's a good way to Read more

Is the Bad Economy Good for Racing?

Kari Lamanuzzi — Mon, 08 Jun 2009 05:00:00 +0100

This may sound counterintuitive, but it may be possible for the bad economy to have a positive effect on racing. At least, that's what the Kenai Peninsula Racing Lions (KPRL) team is hoping. Jackie McGahan and Barney Phillips, KPRL President and Vice Presidet (respRead more

A Little Old Lady Gets in the Racing Game

Kari Lamanuzzi — Mon, 08 Jun 2009 05:00:00 +0100

When I hear stories about little old ladies and motorcycles, I get a major case of the warm and fuzzies. I don't know what it is, but I love hearing about things like old women riding Harleys. So, when I saw this story from the Agusta Chronicle, I knew I had to post it.

Is Motocross Influencing the Fashion Industry?

Kari Lamanuzzi — Thu, 04 Jun 2009 05:00:00 +0100

First of all, sorry about the picture being a little fuzzy. I'm not what you would call a "photo expert" or "technically savvy" when it comes to these things. In fact, you might even say that I'm "barely functional" or "partially Read more

Louisiana Gets In on the Motorcycle Helmet Debate

Kari Lamanuzzi — Wed, 03 Jun 2009 05:00:00 +0100

The Louisiana state House of Representatives has now passed a bill that makes it legal for motorcyclists to ride their bikes without helmets, as long as they have at least $100,000 in insurance. For the record, that means ALL adult motorcyclists, not just those 21 or over. Is it evRead more

Kari Lamanuzzi — Wed, 03 Jun 2009 05:00:00 +0100

Casey Stoner has had a pretty big week. Just a couple of days ago, on May 31st, Stoner won the Italian Grand Prix at Mugello, the home track of his Ducati team. The result? He's now the all-around points leader. So far, there has been a different points leader after each of the five MotoGP races this Read more

Jet-Powered Motorcycle Goes More Than 200 MPH

Kari Lamanuzzi — Mon, 01 Jun 2009 05:00:00 +0100

Ever feel the need to strap yourself to a rocket, Wile E. Coyote style, and break the 200 MPH barrier? Well, now you can. Some guy threw a J402-CA-702 Model 373 turbine engine on his bike and got it to go really, really fast. Like, 200 MPH fast, which technically makes it theRead more
