In 1956, Romolo Marcellini created a film called Engaged to Death – “a tale about rivalry and burning passion set in the dangerous and madcap world of two-wheelers.” It’s a fascinating look at 50s Italian race bikes (like the Moto Guzzi V8!) with looks at the manufacturers, racers, and even race strategy. Rodaggio Film has acquired the two existing 35mm …

UPDATE: Here’s the story of our time there on a Triumph Explorer 1200! In late June, VyVy and I (and Baby Jack, of course) will be heading out to the United Kingdom for a couple of weeks of exploration via motorcycle. Right now, the plan is to start in London and basically do a lap of England, Wales, Ireland, and …

On Saturday, March 4th, Beverly Hills Ducati is hosting an event that they’re calling “Come See The Vincents.” It’ll be a monthly meeting of the Southern California section of the Vincent-HRD Owners Club. So if you’re near LA and want to see some Vincents…now you know where you need to go.

It finally happened – my lack of internet service in Mexico caught up with me and I have fallen behind on bike postings like I warned might happen. All I can do to atone now is to share a few photos with you for the time being…

Last year when I was at the press launch for the Yamaha SCR950, I got a gift bag from Yamaha with some trinkets. One of the goodies was a keychain that’s not available in the US. I’ll never use it, so I figured it’d be nice to give it to a loyal reader who would actually enjoy it. So…who wants …

…cause Spurgeon and I sure do. That’s why today we’re off on a ride from Los Angeles to Cabo. It’ll take 6 days, and during that time my posting frequency will definitely drop – I’m not sure what my internet access is going to be like. So if you don’t see many bikes for sale in the next week, I …

Founded by Francois-Xavier Terny and Edward Jacobs (a former designer at Confederate Motorcycles), Vanguard is America’s newest motorcycle company. They debuted their Roadster at the New York International Motorcycle Show a few weeks ago and their plan is to create another option for those of you looking for a premium motorcycle. In an attempt to spread the word through the …

This weekend, Spurgeon from RevZilla and I will take off from Los Angeles on our way to Cabo. I’ve sort of done this trip before on a R1100S, but this time around I’ll be on a R1200GS – opening up the possibility of some dirt. So I turn to you, my loyal reader: what should I see? Who should I …

I’ve featured reader Jim R before thanks to his passion for early Kawasaki singles and that the fact that he’s picked up a couple of them through Bike-urious. He’s a true motorcycling nut, having owned hundreds of bikes over the years. As he puts it, he ‘restores and transports bikes as a money losing hobby and generally has something to …

Monday Motorbikes (you may remember as them Bolt) is trying to spread the word about their “crossover motorbike” by…giving one away. Here’s how you can enter, if you want an electric twist-n-go commuter.
