The third and final part of our series is now live! My Auctions Manager at Iconic (Matt Harris) tries his hand at AHRMA racing, and it’s finally time for him to grid up against every one else…

The BBC Archive comes through with another awesome look back at some classic motorsport, this time it’s a trials competition that combines natural terrain challenges with some artificial ones like riding through a dumpster that’s partially full of water and over a couple of cars (with wet, slippery tires)…oh yeah, and you have to wheelie through the end. It’s a …

For those of you that enjoyed Part1, here’s Part 2 of the saga of my Auctions Manager at Iconic trying his hand at AHRMA racing! We’ve made it to the track and now he’s got to through the school and get his race license before he’s allowed to join the festivities…

As you may know, I’ve been racing in AHRMA for the last few years and I love the experience. Unfortunately for my friends, that means I’m constantly annoying them by trying to have them join me! Over at Iconic, I was able to convince my Auctions Manager (Matt Harris) to join me for the Willow Springs round this year, and …

Yes, this one’s from a month ago. But here are some highlights of bikes (and cars) I encountered on a quick ride out to the Rock Store and the Old Place…enjoy!

The BBC Archive recently shared a fantastic video on YouTube called Race of the Power Bikes, which focuses on John Player Norton’s effort for the Formula 750 race at the 1973 Isle of Man TT.

One of the things I’ve been complaining about over the last few years is how Ducati and MV Agusta have ruined what I think of when I hear “special edition.” Ducati in particular used to make sure that if they made a special edition bike, it came with top-notch components (and usually engine work) to complement whatever livery they wanted …

I went for a ride this weekend – follow along to see some of my favorite bikes from a trip that had to get redirected!

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 …

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!“

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!

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…

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!

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!
