I can’t help but laugh every time I watch an Ichiban Moto video. This time he brilliantly diagnoses an electrical issue:
Video Intermission – Police Scooter Chase
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.
Video Intermission – the new Honda Africa Twin
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 …
Video Intermission – Never Say Never Again Bike Chase
View PostVideo Intermission – Corvair-Powered Harley
I’m not sure what this should be called. A Harvair? Corvair-Davidson? Whatever you call it, it’s well done. A week ago or so, I featured a custom bike for sale that was powered by a Corvair 6 – it was incredibly long. Commenter Wayne Thomas noted that someone had done the same thing, but within a stock Harley frame. It’s …
Picture Intermission – Crossing the US on 1 Tank of Gas
While researching the Don Vesco Cafe Royal bodywork of the recently-featured CB400F, I ended up getting sucked into the world of aftermarket fairings. One of the most interesting stories I stumbled upon was that of Matt Guzzetta, a business partner of Vesco in the 70s and 80s, who at one point went from San Diego, California to Daytona Beach, Florida …

View PostVideo Intermission – BikeBoat
Well, here’s something you don’t see every day. Patrick Coleman, Francis Lamotte, and two other crazy friends are planning on crossing the Bering Strait…on motorcycles. After a failed attempt to cross the English Channel last month, they’re raising money to fix what went wrong and tackle a bigger challenge.
Video Intermission – Calf Savoir
This is a 4 year old video but it’s worth a refresh (or maybe you haven’t seen it before). During qualification for the 2012 Amageza Rally, Johan Gray spotted a drowning calf. Then he saved it.
Picture Intermission – Motorcycles in Costa Rica
Whenever I travel outside of the US, I try to snap photos of all the motorcycles I see to enjoy what’s different. Here’s my shots from about 10 days in Costa Rica.
