On Saturday I stopped by Honda’s campus in Torrance, California for a meeting – I’ve got a fun-but-secret project coming up that I can’t wait to share with you guys! The timing was great as Honda was hosting their “Cars, Bikes & Coffee” event that they put on every two months. Here’s some of my personal highlights from the event:

Another fantastic find in the Deeley Exhibition is this wild custom built by Mick King of Vancouver, Canada – it combines a Norton frame and a NSU automotive engine! It’s a crazy pairing but Paul d’Orleans of The Vintagent has a great story on this bike which you should check out, it explains why Mick had access to Nortons and …

It seems appropriate to continue sharing cool bikes from the Deeley Exhibition in Vancouver with Canada’s first motorcycle – the CCM Lightweight De Luxe!

Every year, the Quail MotoFest (formerly known as the Quail Motorcycle Gathering) features the same ten categories. They also have three rotating featured classes – this year the classes were: 1. Tribute to Yoshimura 2. Celebrating 45 Years of the BMW GS 3. The one I was most excited to see: Italian Innovation by Bimota

This weekend was the 15th running of the Quail MotoFest, which featured over 200 motorcycles and over 1,000 attendees! I had the pleasure of riding up and back from Los Angeles and will share some of my personal highlights soon – but let’s start with all of the class winners!

There were a few standout bikes from my race at Willow Springs that I wanted to share but the post would have been way too long. So I’m going to call them out in individual posts. Let’s start with one of the bikes that competed – a ’75 Yamaha TZ750!

I was disappointed to recently find out that 20th Century Cycles, the personal collection of Billy Joel, is soon to be no longer. It looks like Billy is moving his bikes down to Florida so the building that they’ve been in since 2009 (which was previously a carpet store and then a child’s tumbling studio) is now going to find …

As discussed in my review of the Yamaha R9, the world of “Supersport” has changed dramatically. Gone are the days of inline-4 600s, now we’ve got twins/triples/fours with a variety of displacements. Something else I discussed in my review was my fandom of Josh Hayes, so it was very cool to see him pull off yet another win (and the …

On Saturday at the Handbuilt Show, I decided to take a little walk around the venue with my phone and film some highlights. Come follow along!

At the Handbuilt Show in Austin, there was a cool cutaway of a Yamaha XS500 in the corner that I thought you’d appreciate. I considered making this a Guess That Bike, but I figured we should just get right into the good stuff…so here you go!

Back in October, I was at Barber to race in the final round of AHRMA when a mini school bus parked across from my pit. Lo an behold, the doors open and my buddies from RevZilla pop out! They told me about a video that they were filming and I could immediately tell it was going to be a good …

When Vy and I travel, I like to get photos of motorcycles in the area to share. We recently found ourselves in Fairbanks, Alaska to ring in the New Year and catch the Northern Lights but the temperature ranged from a toasty -5 degrees to a less-toasty -38 degrees the whole time we were there and as you can imagine, …

Ever since Yamaha took me to check out a Supercross race in San Diego a couple of years ago I’ve been hooked – the racing is fantastic and the spectacle is impressive if you’re able to catch it in person, I think MotoGP could learn a few things from them. There’s also stuff that SX can learn from other organizations, …

The curiousities continue from Solvang: here’s a bike I had never heard of before and it’s apparently one of one. Meet the Velox!

Time for another quick look at the cool stuff in the Solvang Motorcycle Museum – this time with one of the oldest offerings they’ve got!
