On a road trip to Texas last year, I was introduced to an interesting shop called Moto-Vated in Luling, Texas – they specialize in importing JDM cars and motorcycles, and they have some fantastic stuff in their ever-changing inventory. Come check it out with me!

Here’s a short heartwarming video of a family bringing a bike across the ocean to reunite it with their patriarch, the original owner. Don’t blame me if this makes you cry…

Every Sunday, my colleagues at Iconic Motorbikes go for a morning ride out to the Rock Store. Sometimes I join along – here’s a few highlights from today’s excursion!

The 2020 Suzuki Katana is on the cover of the new issue of Cycle World – but the cover image isn’t the usual photograph of a bike in motion. This time around, it’s a painting that was done with disposable chopsticks!

It lives! Some of you may already be aware of Allen Millyard’s latest project – if not, he’s been busy turning a 4-cylinder Kawasaki Z1 into a 6-cylinder Kawasaki Z1 that he’s calling the “Super Six.” He’ also been documenting most of his work on YouTube, and he’s just shared his first test ride…

Back in February, Cycle News sent me to Las Vegas for the launch of the Kawasaki Z H2 – did you catch my story? In between the socializing and the working, I tried to capture some of the behind the scenes to share with you – hope you enjoy!

We have a couple of bikes going up on the auction site this week that we needed some more photos of, so I put the keyboard away for a morning and got some quality time on a motorcycle this Sunday morning. Here’s how it went!

Another week, another giveaway on the auction site! Last week we gave away a wonderful Nicky Hayden print, but this time we’re going three times as big with some Mick Doohan posters! I don’t think it was crystal clear last time so I’ll emphasize it here: YOU CAN ONLY WIN IF YOU LEAVE A COMMENT ON THE AUCTION SITE Here’s …

When Vy and I stopped in Madrid on our Iberian trip, we encountered a Lambretta club in our hotel. Want to see what they were riding?

There are a few Corvair-powered motorcycles out there, including this one I featured back in 2015. Better-known examples include Norm Grabowski’s Six Pack, Tom McMullen’s Corvair Trike, and Wild Bill Gelbke’s Grasshopper. But the one featured here looks like it’d be the most road-friendly and it’s currently located at the E Hayes and Sons Limited Motoworks Collection.

Because we’re staying at home so much, Vy and I have been watching more TV than usual. Our current fascination is Lego Masters, which is why this Panigale model is calling out to me right now.

Over on the auction site, we’re giving away a limited edition canvas print (1 of 69) based on a pencil/watercolor illustration of Nicky Hayden from his 2006 championship year in MotoGP. Just leave a comment on the listing to be entered – we’ll pick a winner on Saturday!

Today at 6am PST, MotoGP will start streaming their 2nd “Virtual Race” (they’re calling it the Stay at Home GP), which is as close as you’re currently going to get to watching a MotoGP race right now.
