This weekend was the opening of this year’s Monster Energy Supercross season, and the racing in Angel Stadium in Anaheim yielded one of the weirder highlights you’ll probably see from the SX season. I’m not going to cast any judgment about what brought about why punches were thrown – but why punch the lid?

Built from 1964 through 1967 the Hornet was marketed as ready to ride in the dirt. It came in 2 variants, the ‘East Coast Model’ with high pipes and the ‘West Coast Model’ with low mounted pipes.

Guess That Engine
You guys are too good at these ‘Guess That Bike’ posts, so I’m going to try and make them harder – let’s see how that goes.

1969 Gemini SST 50

Alright, so it’s no speed demon, but those in the know suggest that these are some of the fastest mini bikes ever built – the 50cc engine produced 4.5 horsepower and was capable …
2014 Ducati 1199 Panigale Superleggera
