  The Salt and the Search for 200mph. It’s one of those days. We are packing all the shit to haul ass to Bonneville. I woke up at 6:00 with text messages clicking in my ear. Ray’s packing. Rogue is sending Sturgis reports. Bikernet Betsy road reports are flying at us. I feel good about this run. We are harried, but sorta organized. I think we have the bikes dialed in and the best tool offering in years. We’re all a tad on the edge. CLICK to read!  

  “I’ve had that bike since I was nineteen, it’s the first thing I ever bought.” ~Jason Momoa I recently had a chance to sit down with Jason Momoa (director, co-writer, lead actor of “ Road to Paloma”) for a couple minutes and ask him about his inspiration for the story and get some specifics on the cool custom bike he rode in the film. Zack Coffman: What was the inspiration for the film? How did it come together? Jason Momoa: I wanted to make a road movie for a long time, but it isn’t easy. You need to meander in the film, but it has to have a story or you’re just jacking off, you know? I love Five Easy Pieces, Jack Kerouac [On the Road], and Easy Rider of course, but it’s kind of for a different generation. Co-writer and co-star Robert [Homer Mollohan] and I are both into bikes and he told me about the injustices happening on the reservations and it opened up a whole world. I couldn’t believe all this was happening in our country. That gave my character some purpose. We wanted to make a road movie about a man saying goodbye to his life. CLICK to read…..

  Victory’s boldest bike to ever roll off the line! Baggers are hot! Anyone following the motorcycle scene can’t have missed this fact. HEAVY DUTY magazine has been running tours to Sturgis for our readers since 1997 and in that time we have seen a lot of changes in the industry. Choppers dominated for a number of years but have now almost vanished from the scene. It’s baggers, baggers and more baggers. It seems as if ground up custom bike building has shrunk to a mere shadow of its former prominence and the hot thing is for people to buy stock bikes and customize them, especially baggers. Well Victory Motorcycles have seen this trend growing and have thrown their hat into the ring with the new Magnum, describing it as our boldest bike to ever roll off the line. CLICK to read….    

  What is a Calthorpe? There are certainly names in motorcycling that are more common than others. Ask just about anyone, motorcyclist or non-motorcyclist, to name a motorcycle manufacturer, and you’ll likely hear some common responses. Those responses are likely based mostly on how long a company spent in the manufacture of motorcycles and how many bikes the company produced. Even when it comes to British motorcycles, the most likely answers to the same question will probably be Triumph or BSA. It’s not too likely that you’ll have someone give you the name “Calthorpe” when you ask them to name a British motorcycle manufacturer. CLICK to read!   Advertisement
