As you may have seen from my post asking for Rhode Island-based suggestions, I’m currently on the east coast for a couple of weeks. One of the things I was able to check out was the Newport Car Museum, so here’s some of my highlights!
Guest Story Intermission – The Gift That Keeps On Taking
View PostPicture Intermission – Arai Corsair-X Kevin Schwantz 30th Anniversary
I had some people reach out to me after my latest Tesi ownership update asking about my new helmet, so here’s some photos of it for you!
Video Intermission – Bimota DB2
Over at Iconic we recently had a client drop off a Bimota DB2 for us to auction, and I was so fond of it that I had to film a little “Bike of the Day” video. It ended up selling to one of our members before it went up for auction but I figure you guys would probably appreciate a …
Video Intermission – Bimota Tesi 3D Final Edition
You guys seemed to enjoy the “Just Ride” video I did with a Honda CBR250RR, so I thought it’d be fun to do another one with a personal bike – my Bimota Tesi 3D!
Picture Intermission – 1/14 Sunday Ride
I went for a little ride this weekend and saw some fun stuff – come check it out!
Video Intermission – Honda CBR250RR MC22
A couple of days ago I mentioned that I was going to take a MC22 out for a spin for a video. Well, here’s the video!
Video Intermission – Aston Martin AMB001
Over at Iconic, I’ve been trying out a video series called “Bike of the Day.” Here’s one I felt like I had to share because I don’t know if I’ll ever seen one of these bikes in the flesh again. It’s an Aston Martin AMB001 that came to us for a break-in service of sorts, and I hope you enjoy …
Video Intermission – Wouter Jan Van Dijk at the Baja 1000
If you weren’t following the Baja 1000 this year, there’s one person you have to hear about: Wouter Jan Van Dijk. He’s a Dutchman living in Australia (with extensive off-road experience) that flew to California, bought a 2015 KTM 500 in San Diego, rode the bike down to La Paz, and then raced the Baja 1000 in the Ironman Class …
Story Intermission – Riding the Honda NSF250R
I’ve mentioned the NSF250R several times recently on Bike-urious, most recently because we’re selling some over at Iconic and I was considering picking one up as a track bike before I went with a Kramer instead. I got the chance to put a couple of laps on a 250R at CotA but I’m just a bit too big for the …
Picture Intermission – Motorcycles at Monterey Car Week 2023
Bike-urious reader Larry F. reached out to me a couple of weeks ago saying that he was going to be at Monterey for the annual Car Week and he was hoping to meet up. Unfortunately, I couldn’t make it up this year (I’ve actually never been, oops) but he was kind enough to share a few photos from his trip …
Picture Intermission – AHRMA Laguna Seca 2023
Last month, the American Historic Racing Motorcycle Association (AHRMA) brought its traveling show to Laguna Seca. I was planning on being at Laguna Seca the day after AHRMA anyway for an Aprilia Racers Day event, so it was an easy call to head up a day early and check out some classics!
Picture Intermission – An Original-Owner ’65 Bonnie
While I was out for a ride this Sunday, I met a local gentleman named Gordon who was on a beautiful Bonneville. I asked him what year the bike was, to which he responded “1965” and then shocked me by saying he was the original owner! Serious kudos to Gordon for keeping a bike like this on the road for …
Picture Intermission – 7/30 Iconic Sunday Ride
I had a bit of a surreal day this past weekend – within the span of a few hours I got to ride my personal Bimota Tesi 3D, our shop’s Bimota Tesi H2, and something I never thought I’d be able to ride…a Honda RC213V-S belonging to a very trusting client!
Gift Intermission – LEGO Technic Yamaha MT-10 SP
Last year, LEGO created a Technic set of the BMW M1000RR and Vy and I had a wonderful time putting it together. Impressively, it featured a functional 3-speed transmission (with neutral). I actually was a bit bummed out that you couldn’t see the internal workings of the transmission (as well as the engine, which had a crankshaft/pistons and spun at …
