Over at Iconic, we like to do a weekly from our shop to the Rock Store on Sunday mornings as an excuse to get out and see our friends! Here’s what I got to see this weekend…

Vy and I went down to San Diego to ring in New Year’s last weekend, and one of my highlights was a quick visit to the San Diego Automotive Museum. Based on the name I wasn’t expecting to see many motorcycles, but I ended up being pleasantly surprised. Come check out my favorites!

While I was writing my review of the Ducati Multistrada V4 Pikes Peak, I couldn’t shake a question – if I had $28,995 to spend on bikes at a US dealership right now, would I blow it all on the (very impressive) Ducati or would I get two cheaper bikes? Then I decided I wanted to hear what you thought…

Backcountry Discovery Routes is hosting their 6th Annual Holiday Auction, and one of the listings is for an experience I’ve done myself and can’t recommend enough – a self-guided motorcycle tour of Costa Rica for 2 people over 7 days. It’s put on by Elephant Moto, an official BMW Motorrad partner that will give you your choice of a F700GS, …

Service Brewing in Savannah, Georgia recently hosted the fifth annual Victory Moto Show, and Bike Bound recently shared some great snaps from it.

As noted in today’s other story, I was in Italy for the press launch of the Aprilia Tuareg 660 – great bike, by the way. The launch was in Sardinia, and I had a day in Rome for a layover so I explored the city by foot and grabbed photos of motorcycles (and a couple of cars) that caught my …

Pol Tarrés’ first Seeker video was one of the most impressive dual-sport videos I’ve seen in a long time, so I was excited to hear that he recently released a sequel. Here’s your chance to enjoy it: And if you missed the original, you should catch that, too:

Today I learned that Vy hates the smell of two-stroke exhaust, because as soon I as got home from this year’s Two Stroke Extravaganza, she said “oh my god, you stink.”

2-strokes are awesome, which means an “Extravaganza” about them should be awesome, too. This weekend is an event in Santa Clarita, California that claims to be the largest gathering of 2-stroke motorcycles in North America, and I’ll be there. Will you?

I had some free time last Sunday, so I took a little ride to the Rock Store…and then I went a bit further. Here’s some of my favorite bikes from the day!

Super short notice, but Dave Moss is coming by Iconic Friday night from 6pm-8:30pm to teach a “Suspension 101” class. Ever wondered what “rebound” actually means, or do you just want to be able to teach yourself how to adjust your own suspension properly?

Here’s an entertaining look back from the Los Angeles Police Department in the 40s, showing what it takes to become one of their new motorcycle patrolman. Would you have what it takes?

Over at Iconic, we like to do a weekly from our shop to the Rock Store on Sunday mornings as an excuse to get out and see our friends! Here’s the visual feast from this past weekend…

To complement my written First Ride Review of the 2021 Aprilia Tuono V4 and V4 Factory, here’s one of those newfangled moving pictures!

In the early 70s, Suzuki, Norton, and DKW all brought rotary-powered bikes to the market, but DKW was the first. Outside of the UK, it was sold as the Hercules Wankel 2000 (W2000), and while the engine was unconventional, everything else was as you’d expect. Bike magazine called it “an outstanding machine in its own right”, even ignoring the novel …
