Video Intermission – Suzuki RE-5 on Jay Leno’s Garage
Lots of people are familiar with the Suzuki RE-5 (most notable for the Wankel rotary engine and the “tin can” gauge cluster), but the number of people who’ve actually experienced one is much of smaller. Jay Leno shares the experience (including how staggeringly smooth it is) in his latest episode of Jay Leno’s Garage.
Video Intermission – Stop-Motion Engine Rebuild
Stop motion artists always get my respect, but bonus points go to Mechanimations for something focused on motorcycles. He calls it “A Dirt Bike Engine Rebuild Video Like You’ve Never Seen” and it’s hard to argue with that!

I typically avoid press releases from companies when they announce new bikes because I don’t feel like sharing a bike if I have nothing to say about it. But Honda’s just announced the Rebel 1100, and I’m surprised by how much I like the idea. More importantly, I don’t have to share a boring press release with you, because Honda’s …

If you’ve been watching Long Way Up (or catching my recaps here), then you’ll most likely enjoy this interview of Claudio von Planta by Chris MacAskill, the founder of ADVRider.
