Post Listing Update: Did not meet reserve with 36 bids up to $85,100. The SS80 was named because Brough Superior guaranteed that each model would be able to top 80 miles per hour. Motor Cycle magazine had a different name for it – they called it the “Rolls-Royce of Motor Cycles.” Some people just consider it to be the predecessor …

View PostWhat Do You Want to Know? 2017 Yamaha SCR950
UPDATE: Here are my thoughts on the new Yamaha SCR950! Next month, Yamaha’s introducing another model to their “Sport Heritage” line. It’s called the SCR950 and in Yamaha’s words, it “combines vintage, scrambler style with modern design…that lets you venture on- and off-road for pure motorcycling fun.” At first glance it looks like Yamaha took the Bolt and slapped some …

View PostCreating a Toaster Tank…Toaster
Alright, hear me out. I was talking to a dear friend whose first new motorcycle was a ’72 BMW R75/5, and for decades he’s apparently been amused by the idea of creating a toaster out of a BMW toaster tank. I now need to make this happen for him – but I don’t have the money to blow on buying …

Despite the fact that they only made 1,000 of them, Moto Guzzi is letting me goof around on one of their limited-edition V7II Stornello Scramblers for a little bit. As always, I’ll try to do a little review and a video for you guys and gals, so it’s nice to know what you’re interested in learning about. Got a question? …

Well, I’m back from my two week jaunt around some of the Western US (I’ve started chronicling it on the site and more will come soon, I promise), and while I was on the road I kept feeling bad that I wasn’t able to share more cool bikes each day with you. I’d like to make that happen, so let’s …
