A dear friend of mine just opened up his second restaurant – shameless plug for Brat & Brau in Hermosa Beach, California! He’s got pages from vintage German magazines all over the place, and I couldn’t help but notice this ad with a motorcycle in it. So, what’s the bike?
Bike-urious 2016 Survey Results
Wow. Thanks so much to everyone who participated – about 50% of readers who saw the post donated their time to fill out the survey, and I can’t say how much I appreciated it. Now, let’s get our learn on!
Meet Justin Wright!
Alright, here’s the last (but not least) addition to the Bike-urious contributor stable, at least for now. Read on to learn more about Justin Wright, who has enjoyed an eclectic history of motorcycles:
The Shining – Something New In Headlight Design
We all know the story. You are riding home well after dark because you diddled around way too long after lunch and now wish you were home. You lean into a bit of a turn in the road and your headlight doesn’t track where you are going. Depending on the corner, you might have trouble even seeing the centerline at …
Introducing Club EagleRider
I think one of the best (but hardest) things for motorcyclists to do is to get seat time on a variety of bikes. While it’s nice to get intimate knowledge of your daily rider and to feel like you’re one with it, getting a taste of the different worlds of motorcycling makes you a more competent overall rider and opens …
Aerostich Goes Zero Below Zero
When snow hits the ground, most riders put their bikes away for the new few months. Well, the people at Aerostich aren’t most riders, and they’ve built a reputation of creating gear for the lunatics that ride no matter the conditions. Looks like they’re testing their gear (and a Zero electric motorcycle) by riding every day during a winter where …

Bike-urious 2016 Reader Survey
Last year, I ran a quick (10 questions) survey by y’all and the results were incredibly helpful. If you’ve got a few minutes, I’d really appreciate your thoughts on Bike-urious so I know what you enjoy and what you don’t!
Hagerty’s Classic Bike Price Guide
Especially on eBay (or other auction platforms), it’s easy to be confused by large differences in final sale price between two bikes that may have seemed very similar. Valuing classic motorcycles isn’t a science, and it’s not easy. So I’m intrigued by Hagerty’s attempt at creating a price guide for the bikes we all love so much.
Wanted – 1949 Lowther Lightnin’ Scooter
I know that normal posts on Bike-urious are for motorcycles for sale, but I got a special request from a reader that has bought 4 bikes through Bike-urious in the past and I thought I’d raise the flag on his request. From what I can tell, only about a dozen (or even less) Lowther Lightnin’s were built, let alone still …
