  This coming Monday will mark the 27th anniversary of “Ride to Work Day,” an annual event that promotes the motorcycle as an option for commuting to work. Since 1992, this event has been promoted by the Ride to Work organization with a goal of increasing public awareness of motorcyclists; promoting the use of motorcycles as a method of transportation; and increasing motorcycle safety. According to the Motorcycle Industry Council, an estimated 150,000 commuters ride their motorcycle to work. While this is a very minor portion of all commuters, figures show these numbers are on the rise. It may be surprising that the numbers are not higher given data that supports that traveling by motorcycle can shorten journey times by ...

Action from the Motorcycle Front, Freedom Fighter, and the Aftermarket Hey, I’m going to rattle down some facts here that will be shocking and revealing, but who knows if they make much sense. I had a meeting about the California Air Resources Board new motorcycle rules yesterday. The California Air Resources board is mandated (there’s that word again) by the Governor to create a state with Zero emissions by 2030.

New motorcycle sales have dropped from 240,000 in 2005 (includes on-road and off-road motorcycles) to 75,000 after the recession in 2011 and now just 100,000. Since 2015 on-road sales have declined from 63,000 ...

Bandit, Yes — it has been against Federal law to tamper with any vehicle since the late 60s and 70s! However, only states with auto smog inspections enforce the tampering provision. And, since there are no smog inspections for motorcycles anywhere in the U.S., there is little, or NO, enforcement of the federal EPA motorcycle tampering rule outside of California. Some states have annual or biennial motorcycle safety inspections, but I have not heard of any inspecting for vehicle emissions systems tampering. That’s why CARB and the California Bureau of Auto Repair (BAR) would love to see smog checks for motorcycles. That’s at least a battle that we probably can win, like we did in 2010, if any such bills ...
