My son has a 2011 Road Glide and we were contact by Klock Werks regarding their new Dyna Mat system and handlebar cell phone mounts. I contacted Frank since he’s owned a black Road Glide for three years, that he bought from Riverside Harley-Davidson. Frank test rode it to Palm Springs out on the high desert highway where winds get up to 60 mph. Plenty of dust and rocks hit the road and vehicles at 80-plus mph. “This Wind Vest windshield cuts clean thru the wind on the fixed road glide fairing,” said Frank, “as I flew down the road easy doing 80 mph, no resistance at all.” Read more.

Yard Built custom bikes are usually made to inspire Yamaha customers; to make their VMAX, SCR950, Bolt, XSR900, XSR700 or SR400 motorcycles unique. For this project, Yamaha is breaking the rules. This XSR700 isn’t a bike built for standing still, this is a bike Brice Hennebert built to be a sprint dominator. Low, long and very fast, the Workhorse Speed Shop focused on customization for speed. The engine, chassis and every point in between have been tweaked, tuned, pulled to pieces and put back together to squeeze every bit of performance from the versatile XSR700. Read more.

If anything happens in USA, which is different from what happened 20 years ago, every genius investigative journalist, social media user and idiot will tell you the Millennials did it. Millennials are out and about trying to destroy America. They’ll tear up the original document of the American Constitution and piss on the graves of the Founding Fathers. Read more.

George Christie writes from experience, being Marine, employee for the Department of Defense, and member of the Hells Angels from 1975. As a Hells Angel he founded the Ventura chapter and served as international spokesman for 30 years. Lots of stories and experiences to pull from as he delights the reader with his pros. Marked is the story of the Question Marks a 1% MC with chapters across the country and its origin in Ventura, Ca. The story starts as Jack Crest returns from his service in Vietnam and tries to pick up where he left off.

Legendary rider/skater/driver and all-around stunt man Travis Pastrana will be jumping an Indian Scout FTR750 when he looks to pay tribute to Evel Knievel, the founding father of motorcycle stunts, and surpass America’s most iconic daredevil. “Evel Live”, as three-hour live event premiering Sunday, July 8th at 8PM ET/ 5PM PT on HISTORY in partnership with Nitro Circus, will see Travis Pastrana attempt three of Knievel’s most famed jumps on the Scout FTR750, including jumping the length of 52+ crushed cars, 16 Greyhound busses, and the ill-fated Caesars Palace fountain jump that left Knievel grasping for his life. If successful, Pastrana will be the first individual to complete all three jumps in one three-hour timespan and on a motorcycle similar to those Evel used. The Indian Scout FTR750 is a flat track racing motorcycle designed to push the boundaries of speed and redefine control with two wheels firmly on the ground. Rewinding time, you find the motorcycles Evel jumped were designed for similar purposes. However, neither were intended for jumping. “It was extremely important to use a motorcycle similar to the ones Evel jumped. The Indian Scout FTR 750 is just that, a modern-day evolution of the flat track motorcycles of the past,” said Pastrana. “It has the power I need and handles well, but I’m only going to have a few days to get comfortable on it, not to mention I’ve never jumped a V-twin before. I’ve got my work cut out, but we’re used to going big at Nitro Circus, so we’ll make it happen.” The Indian Scout FTR750 is far different from the lightweight motocross bikes you would typically find Travis Pastrana jumping. The engine of the FTR750 features a powerful 750cc 53-degree V-Twin and utilizes 43mm conventional front suspension with an adjustable Ohlin’s mono-shock on the rear. Introduced

The new Kuryakyn Legacy collection celebrates the Indian Scout’s rich heritage by combining bold lines, dimensional depth, and traditional fit and finish for a classically balanced look. The Legacy collection features a full line of coordinating chrome engine and frame covers, body accents, and select hand and foot control components. Stylistic elements include stepped borders along with centralized speedlines that capture and reflect light to provide depth for a clean, understated custom appearance. A variety of Legacy covers are available as direct replacements for the stock pulley cover, stator and clutch covers, as well as to clean up and conceal triple tree wiring, and front or rear swingarm bolts. Additionally, the Legacy Horn Cover includes a relocation bracket that eliminates the hassle of removing the horn to access the oil filter for servicing.   Legacy accents target areas that enhance the Scout’s front and rear fenders, lower forks, mid-frame, and radiator shroud. Also included in the collection is the Legacy Shift Linkage, as well as brake and clutch levers for ’15-’16 Scouts (fitment for ’17-’18 models is expected soon).
