The most recent episode of Jay Leno’s Garage features a motorcycle from Jay’s own collection. Specifically, it’s a machine that was way ahead of its time – the Scott Flying Squirrel TT Replica.

Just in time for some fancy Christmas shopping, Ducati has announced something called the Memorabilia Project, “giving, for the first time, fans of the Bologna-based bike manufacturer the chance to purchase certified parts from bikes used in recent years by MotoGP and Superbike team riders.”

It’s always a good day when Petrolicious releases a motorcycle-focused video, and this one is especially interesting. They start by asking the redundant question, “Is it practical to ride an Italian sportbike from Amsterdam to Cape Town?” Meet Peter Muurman, who has covered almost 62,500 miles on his Ducati 998 in 54 different countries!

The trailer for the newest Bond movie was released yesterday, and there’s a Triumph Scrambler 1200 in a supporting role. Near the end of the trailer, there’s a motorcycle jump that’s worth a closer look – and thankfully someone on YouTube has provided just that.

RADwood is coming to Southern California (specifically Orange County) on December 7th, and they want to see more rad 80s-90s motorcycles. On Black Friday, they’ll be running a sale for FREE motorcycle/scooter/moped entries – so what are you waiting for?

I’m not crying…you’re crying.

One of my favorite motorcycling books ever is Mat Oxley’s Stealing Speed. It’s always been an easy recommendation, but now it’s even easier as Mat has released a new version with artwork by Christian Papazoglakis!

Two years ago, Spurgeon from RevZilla and I took a couple of BMW boxer adventure bikes from Los Angeles to Cabo for MotoQuest. If you read that story (Part 1, Part 2) and wanted to do it yourself, you may just be in luck! RevZilla and MotoQuest are partnering up to give you and a friend a week long trip …

It’s been a few years since I went to Ride for Kids, but I stopped by this year because Honda’s partnering with my new auction site to sell a couple of donated motorcycles – all the proceeds will go straight to Ride for Kids! Here are some of my favorite images from the day.

Today is the LA running of Ride for Kids, so I went to announce some news (more on that later) and support the cause! There were lots of great motorcycles, including a staggering amount of minibikes like Groms and Monkeys. But my favorite bike is a bit of an oddball. Can you identify it at first glance?
