When I raced AHRMA at Willow Springs earlier this year, there were concerns that motorcycling may have had its last day of glory at the famous track. Thankfully it’s been given a stay of execution for now, as the hosts included classic motorcycle racing as part of the festivities for the 2nd Annual Willow Springs Reimagined (bikes weren’t included last …

Long story short, I just spent the weekend at Phillip Island for the last running of MotoGP at the world famous track (it’s sad to type that out) and now I’m in Sydney for a few days with Vy before we head up to the Great Barrier Reef. It’s my first time in this lovely country so if anyone has …

Because my Tesi is currently parked and waiting for some parts from Italy, I was able to put the first 1,000 miles on my new-to-me Buell quite quickly. Here’s what I think about it so far…

I should have posted this earlier so I’ll make it short and to the point – is anyone else here in Phillip Island for the last running of MotoGP before they move to a different track next year?

I recently bought a Buell Lightning XB12Ss, and when I point out the “Ss” part it seems that most motorcyclists don’t know what I’m referring to. So let’s have a quick history lesson:

I mentioned this in a recent post about a XB12 for sale but after 20+ years of riding I have finally added an American motorcycle to my collection: I got myself a Buell XB12Ss Lightning!

The Two-Stroke Extravaganza frequently happens the same weekend I’m out at Barber for the Vintage Festival so it’s been five years since I last got to attend, but that changes this weekend as I’ll be at the 2026 event…will you?

It’s been a little while since I’ve polled you guys and gals, and I’d like to change that thanks to a conversation I had with a stranger on a plane yesterday: what model year would be your sweet spot to buy a bike from?

Tens of thousands of motorcycle nuts will be descending upon Birmingham, Alabama next month (October 8-11) for the Barber Vintage Festival…and I’ll be one of them! Will I see you there?

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. There’s lots to cover about it (and I’ll do so in my upcoming written review) but I’m sharing this post now because I have one …

One of my favorite track day organizations (Volant Vivere) is putting on a track day at Buttonwillow next month – I’ll be going there with a few friends and clients and I’d love for you to join!

Time for a story.

As I’m sure you’ve heard by now, Harley-Davidson’s got a new President and CEO starting in October: Artie Starrs.

A couple of months ago I raced Inde Motorsports Ranch 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 great bikes and great people!
