View PostVideo Intermission – The 2021 Honda Rebel 1100
I typically avoid press releases from companies when they announce new bikes because I don’t feel like sharing a bike if I have nothing to say about it. But Honda’s just announced the Rebel 1100, and I’m surprised by how much I like the idea. More importantly, I don’t have to share a boring press release with you, because Honda’s …
Video Intermission – ADVRider interview with Claudio von Planta
If you’ve been watching Long Way Up (or catching my recaps here), then you’ll most likely enjoy this interview of Claudio von Planta by Chris MacAskill, the founder of ADVRider.

Story Intermission – Car-Powered Motorcycles on RevZilla
Three years ago, I featured a Corvair-powered custom motorcycle with a $25k BIN on eBay.
