The Distinguished Gentlemans Ride (DGR) is an international event created to raise money and awareness for the men’s health programs of the Movember Foundation. On Sunday, September 25th, well-dressed riders all around the world will hop on their classic and vintage styled bikes and become part of the world’s largest motorcycling charity event. Want to help out?

The fine folks at Austin Vintage Cycle have completed another restoration of a classic Ducati, and I thought you’d enjoy seeing what it takes to make a bike better than new. It was originally delivered to AVC from a barn in New Jersey. The original owner rode it just 2,300 miles and then threw it in storage…

Just a reminder – just short of two weeks from now (September 19th) I’m hosting a private day at SoCal Supermoto School – go here for more details. I’ve still got a couple of spots left, so come on down!

I finally got to stop by Kawasaki’s new US headquarters yesterday, and it’s a nice spot! Next time I go there I’ll show up with a decent camera because they’re turning the lobby into a museum and there’s a lot of bikes you guys and gals will appreciate. But for now, I’m coming to you with requests because (as you …

As I mentioned before, Ted C is across the pond for the IoM. While he’s planning on sharing a detailed trip report once he’s back, he thankfully made some time to share a quick teaser of what he’s been able to see out there, and it’s fantastic:

Contributor Ted Clough just let me know that he’s in Isle of Man for the Classic TT this weekend. If any of you are out there as well and feel like meeting up, drop me a line and I’ll pass it along!

10-4-2016 Update: EagleRider has just let me know that they are lowering the price of Club EagleRider to a $29 initiation fee and then $29/month. Of course, that ignores the special offer you get for being a Bike-urious reader as detailed below… When I mentioned that you’ll start seeing some more advertising on this site, I promised that I would …

This year, the X Games is introducing a new event called Real Moto, and it’s an “all-video motocross contest.” Weirdly, it has nothing to do with a live competition – this is all about pre-recorded video segments that “present each rider in their own unique style.” A panel of judges select the winners, though the public can vote to select …

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 …

One of my favorite days on a motorcycle was when I went to Brian Murray’s SoCal Supermoto School. If you need a recap/reminder as to what the deal is, here’s an account from my visit last year. I think it’d be nifty to have a day at the track with Bike-urious readers…so come on down!
