He needs a seat and we need to haul his bike to a dealer for the security code to be ...

Somewhere Else Tomorrow won the "Best Feature Film Award" at the Tokyo Motorcycle Film Festival since it began streaming on Dream Racer TV. Somewhere Else Tomorrow is the story of a naive dreamer, fearing stagnation and worried about getting tangled up in a boring job out of university, attempts the greatest challenge Daniel Rintz can think of: traveling around the world on a motorcycle - without money.

The 77th Sturgis Motorcycle Rally featured over a half a million riders this year. As stewards of the Sturgis brand, the volunteer board of SMRi feel a strong responsibility to help promote, grow and strengthen the Sturgis brand overall, which is why they used the 77th Anniversary as an opportunity to unveil the official Sturgis branded logo for next year’s 78th. “Our long term vision is the Sturgis institution,” said Sturgis Mayor Mark Carstensen. “So while the 77th rally was a heck of a good time, it’s just the one rally.

I have seen the future of Trikes in America and it is called REWACO. Incredible trikes and a pro-range of models with the bonus benefits of customization, comfort, ready-to-tour, financing and eye-candy. This German company is not big on media or magazines, but I want to change that, expose them and showcase their genius to one and all. Writing this Feature Article on Rewaco Trikes on Bikernet almost feels like deflowering a virgin, because I don’t know why this is not a huge brand name in the custom industry of USA. Read more.
