The Benda LFC 700 is an odd bike on paper – a Chinese-made cruiser with a 680cc inline four-cylinder engine making 85 horsepower paired with an enormous 67+” wheelbase and a 310mm rear tire (the widest rear you’ll find on a production bike right now). I’m not sure it makes sense, but it is unique and that’s why I’m excited …

You folks know I love my sidecars, so I was highly intrigued when Ural announced that they were putting a hold on production of their traditional Gear-Up model and coming out with a new rig.

My series of my favorite bikes from AHRMA racing continues with a legend owned by a legend: Nick Ienatsch’s Yamaha TZ750! Oh…and it happens to be street legal!

My series of my favorite bikes from AHRMA racing continues with a Moto Paton 500 – something I never expected to see in person, let alone actually out on a race track!

There were a few standout bikes from my race at Willow Springs that I wanted to share but the post would have been way too long. So I’m going to call them out in individual posts. Here’s one of the competitors – Edwin Haazer’s 1979 Kawasaki KZ1000 MKII!

A couple of weeks ago I raced Willow Springs with AHRMA, and while I shared my experience in BEARS with my BMW R75/5 I also wanted to take a moment to share some non-race-specific highlights from the event as there’s a bunch of cool old bikes and cool (usually also old) people. As a reminder, I always go racing with …
