    I arrived at the trackside a bit later than normal as the Pro Mod and Pro Comp cars were already making some qualifying passes. The Top Fuel Cars were starting to line up in the staging lanes and the Pro Stocks were beginning to emerge from beneath the tower. I commented about the

    Poor planning can make for bad trips.  Like everyone else I’ve experienced cold, wet, boredom, exhaustion, and a variety of other unpleasant conditions, which were all preventable with more forethought.  I’ve looked back and said, “If I had just made that hotel reservation before I left I would not have been riding from

More hot motorcycle news from Colorado, right here, right now. For those of us who could not get away to Daytona we were able to enjoy a little respite from the winter at the 23rd Annual Super Show in Colorado Springs. March 16th and 17th there were bikers and the luck of the Irish in

    If you ride motorcycles of any kind, street, dirt, race track, cruisers, café racer, dragster, dual-purpose, you most likely share a common denominator when it comes to motorcycle parties.  Basically any reason is good enough to call together your buddies, be it to ride for morning pancakes, benefit a worthy charity, or, what

    There are a lot of Bike Shows in Daytona Beach and the surrounding area during Bike Week and one I never miss is the one at Tropical Tattoo on Thursday. As usual it was packed so I must not be the only one who likes it.              

    We moved into our new shop in October 2009. The new shop was nice, all asphalt (no weeds to kill) and we didn’t have to drive 20 miles or more round trip every time we needed something. The very first time I needed a washer and was able to walk to the store

      Motorcycles sat at home, sad and waiting for warmer weather, but the riders were out in full force. The 2014 Colorado Motorcycle Expo was a big success, no thanks to old man winter.

    Working behind the scene to organize a Bike show can be a roller coaster ride of emotions, especially when relying on other people to do their part.     Ned Kelly’s Rally at the Mt Alford Hotel has been an annual event of stalls, bands and also a show and shine of the

  Lights, camera ACTION! and lots of it, morning to the next morning, does this town ever sleep??? Being from Philly, NYC is a skip and a jump up the Turnpike. I’m in Manhattan as often as possible because it’s clearly one of the greatest cities on Earth.        Jody Perewitz’s Bagger —

    Life is nuts, but freedom and the creative spirit never wanes. Each year we look for another way to modify anything and everything from our girl’s boob size, to her new bikini, to our shop two-stage epoxy deck, to the next project bike. You know the artsy metal drive is lingering deep in

AMA Pro Racing is pleased to announce the complete AMA Pro Flat Track schedule for the upcoming 2014 season; an agenda that includes 16 rounds featuring non-stop entertainment and thrilling motorcycle racing action from the AMA Pro Grand National Championship (GNC) and AMA Pro Singles classes.  “We’re excited to be announcing the 2014 AMA Pro

  Perhaps some would call it a “crime of passion” to “recycle” classic  British bikes into “works of art,” but perhaps there’s significant leeway when the custom creations are for the  most salvaged bits and pieces reconfigured into scratch built and streetable “one-offs.” Then again, do bikes… nut and bolt mechanical gizmos filled with goopy

      I still fondly remember the day and time when I bought my first Enfield back in April 2007. Until then I humped a Yamaha. Then I graduated and became a man, and rode a battle ready, World War II tested motorcycle. Enfield has indeed come a long way from its humble beginnings

    The Dallas edition of the 2013-14 Ultimate Builder Custom Bike Show was packed from opening bell on Friday to the awards ceremony on Sunday at 4PM.

  The trials, tribulations and success of the Love Ride seem to have come full circle. They may not have raised the kind of money this year as they have in years past, but they held a masterly organized event packed with the most amazingly talented guest stars hitting the stage from start to finish.

  Reports are pouring in from Daytona Beach Biketoberfest. The attendance numbers from the event are still depressed. Traffic has been down since 2004.
