Over at Iconic we’re going to have an interesting twist on the popular RC51 for sale. It looks like it’s never had gas in the tank so I didn’t fire it up but I did want to film a little “Bike of the Day” video on it and I thought you guys might appreciate it a small oddball piece of …
Picture Intermission – The Sensation of Suzuki
Here’s a fun little extra I stumbled upon at work – Suzuki USA’s 1983 model sales guide – a reference guide for sales people at Suzuki dealerships to help move units with helpful tips like, “when your prospect asks how much, the sale is ready to be closed!“
Video Intermission – Klaus Huenecke’s Krauser Domani #001
When I was at the Handbuilt Show this summer, there were two bikes that really stood out to me. One was the Bimota V-Due of our buddy SBK Stash, and the other was a Krauser Domani (which I had never seen in person before) belonging to Klaus Huenecke. Here’s a quick video I filmed of the latter!
Video Intermission – Three Special Arrivals at Iconic Motorbikes!
We recently had three special motorbikes come to Iconic from all over the world: a Bimota SB8K Ultimo from New Zealand as well as a Suzuki GSX-R400 SP and Yamaha FZR400RR SP, both from South Africa! I got to pop them out of their crates and I figured I’d record the moment so you could join me…
Picture Intermission – Handbuilt Show LA 2025
Revival Cycles brought the Handbuilt Show back to Los Angeles this year and I had a chance to stop by to check it out for my first time (I missed it last year). Here were some of my highlights!
Story Intermission – Making New Britten Engines!
There’s a very interesting thread over on ADVRider that recently got created and it’s not getting enough attention – some folks involved with the original Britten story are continuining it by making three more engines to support the folks who are still riding these out on the track!
Picture Intermission – Motorcycles in Thailand
Vy and I belatedly watched the season finale of White Lotus recently and it made us think of when she went to Thailand for a month last year to film on The Sympathizer. When she was there she sent me photos of some bikes that caught her eye but I never got around to sharing them – now seems like …
Deeley Exhibition – 1885 Daimler Reitwagen Official Replica
Getting back to my visit to the Deeley Motorcycle Exhibition in British Columbia, here’s something that goes waaaaaay back in time…sort of.
Video Intermission – Vapor Blast Canada
Iconic has expanded to Canada (specifically British Columbia), so one a recent visit to check out the new digs our new partner Mark took me to meet some of his friends. One surprising stop was at Vapor Blast Canada in Chilliwack, a DIY spot for media and vapor blasting that’s hiding an awesome collection of motorcycles in the back!
Video Intermission – Cycles 128
A while back I did a Picture Intermission for the Cycles Classic Cafe and Museum in Beverly, Massachusetts. But if you’re more of a video kind of person – then I’ve got you covered here!
Picture Intermission – Ducati Superleggera V4
While I was at the Volant Vivere track day at Laguna Seca (separate Picture Intermission coming soon for that), I was entranced by a Ducati Superleggera V4 that someone was planning on riding. I didn’t want to include a ton of photos in the separate post so I’m splitting them up for you to admire with me. Come enjoy!
Picture Intermission – 9-28 Sunday Ride
View PostPicture Intermission – The Bikes of Ducati Day at Laguna Seca
A couple of months ago I was at Laguna Seca for a track day with my favorite organization – Volant Vivere. It was the Tuesday after MotoAmerica and the folks over at Ducati had reserved Monday for their own shenanigans, so when I arrived at the track near the end of Monday I thought it’d be fun to see what …
Video Intermission – Richard Hammond’s Motorcycle Collection
In the famous trio of Top Gear hosts, both James May and Richard Hammond are noted motorcycle lovers in addition to their well-known passion for cars. Jeremy Clarkson is the absolute opposite, something made abundantly clear in their hilarious Vietnam Special where they’re forced to use 2-wheelers (one of my favorite episodes for that reason. All the guys have worked …
