I thought it was impressive enough that these guys got 5 riders on a Yamaha YZF – then they attempt a stunt!

Following up on the Honda VFR he submitted yesterday, reader Joe N also shares this amusing segment from an episode of 21 Jump Street with Johnny Depp. “Watch the clutch!”

I was sent a link to this from Reddit, and it’s one of the coolest motorcycle-related photos I’ve ever seen. Here’s an image of the Los Angeles Motorcycle Club in Venice.

Florida is often the butt of jokes with shows like…well, name a show. That’s why you shouldn’t be surprised to learn that in Lakeland, Florida, a woman named Mary Thorn has a pet alligator named Rambo that weighs 125 pounds, has is own bedroom, and is a passenger on her motorcycle. Long story short, she’s had a license to keep …

Here’s a motorcycle safety piece produced by (and starring) Honda motorcycles. It’s all about the ‘invisible circle’, as you the idea that you have to pretend that you are invisible to other vehicles. It’s cute, it’s fairly obvious, it’ll give you a nostalgia kick, and it features a Honda S90 – what else could you want?!

Kawasaki has been whupping everyone in World Superbike this year with a a number of 1-2 finishes between Tom Sykes and Jonathan Rea. The two continued their dominance this last round at Chang International Circuit in Thailand (with a cameo from Chaz Davies, and the last 8 laps were real fun to watch. Check ’em out here:

If you’re on this site, you like older bikes – and you’re going to like the kick of nostalgia you get from this compilation of 70s Kawasaki ads put together by Koup’s Cycle Shop. Kawasaki – let the good times roll!

One last trip back to Flashbak, a website that collects all kinds of media from the past “with one aim – to make the past come alive.” This time it’s for a great collection of vintage photos of women with their motorcycles – like the featured photo above of a stuntwoman (Doris Smith, aka Marjorie Dare) conquering a Wall of …

Sarah Laskow of Atlas Obscura just shared the great story of George Wyman, a motorcyclist who rode from San Francisco to New York over fifty days in 1903. It was grueling – he had to pedal the last 150 miles because the engine quit, but he made it! And here’s what most people don’t know – he was the first …

Alright, this is a little bit different, but I think it could become a cool gift idea if you’ve got some cool GPS tracks laying around from your last off-road ride…

I love me some vintage motorcycle ads, so here’s one from the AMF/Harley days advertising their SS250 street bike. The idea was that it looks so close to the 1,000cc Harley that it has to be just as powerful/good/name an adjective.”Until you been on a Harley-Davidson, you haven’t been on a motorcycle.”

You already know that I love the TV show Archer, but another one of my favorites has to be Brooklyn Nine-Nine, a police comedy where the resident badass is Rosa Diaz. There’s been plenty of references to her riding a motorcycle in the show, but this week’s episode yielded the perfect line for her character (and a sentiment that many …

Is it an entirely fair comparison? No. Is it funny nonetheless? You tell me.
