A couple of days ago I featured a BSA B25SS for sale, and facebook commenter David B noted that there was ‘a way cool short film featuring the brother of this bike’ – the Triumph Trailblazer. He said it was worth a watch, and after checking it out for myself, I’d have to agree. Enjoy…I suspect many of you have …
Picture Intermission – Vintage Motorcycle Daze
This weekend was the 5th annual Vintage Motorcycle Daze, a bike show for motorcycles produced in 1989 and earlier. Walter Barlow was kind enough to share some photos from his time there.

View PostVideo Intermission – Wooden Trike
Istvan Puskas, a Hungarian tractor driver, has made a name for himself by creating vehicles out of wood, including a bicycle and a motorcycled powered by a 200cc engine. Here’s his most recent work, a trike built entirely from pine (with handlebars from cattle horns). The trike took 6 months to build and can hit about 12 miles per hour.

Video Intermission – Robbie Maddison’s Pipe Dream

Apparently police motorcyclists in Taiwan need faster bikes…but this cop is still able to catch the suspect thanks to an ending that you can probably predict.
Video Intermission – Tire Burn
This video is incredible for two reasons. First, when after the drag racer Filippos Papafilippous (what a name) loses control of his bike and smacks into his competitor at almost 200 miles per hour, he ends up landing on his competitor’s wheelie bar like he’s in Mission Impossible. Second,
Video Intermission – Disappearing Engine
This is actually an advertisement for 3M Cubitron abrasives, but the focus is a motorcycle engine. Watch as the innards of the engine are revealed, 1mm at a time.

View PostVideo Intermission – El Diablo Run
Every two years, Biltwell sponsors a nutty event called the El Diablo Run. It’s obviously one of those types of events that you just have to see to understand, so I’m not going to even attempt to explain it beyond saying that a group rides down to Baja and parties while having events like the Plank Race, Circle of Death, …
Video Intermission – Bike-urious’ Indian Scout Adventure
Yup, this time the video intermission is of yours truly! In the past I’ve done written reviews of bikes (and don’t worry, there’s one of those coming up for the Scout in a few days), but thanks to the talents of my friends Aaron Schasse and Nathan May, I’ve also got a video of our adventure to share. Hope you …
