Even before the V-Twin Expo opened there were comments from some people about the changes scheduled for first weekend in February, 2013.

There is no shortage of Bike Shows during Biketoberfest in Daytona Beach. Though they all offer something different to the sunburnt folks entering them and also to those attending.

Events sometimes conspire to lead you places you had no intention of going. I met Bandit in June 2011 when he rode the Smoke Out XII Long Road beginning in New Orleans. I live in the New Orleans area and picked Bandit up at the airport and deposited his lanky frame in the heart of

  We cut a dusty trail for the Smoke-Out on Friday, June 22nd.  Just before the final bungie cord was snapped into place over my Bandit’s bedroll, I had received an urgent message from Sin Wu saying, “Contact the boss (Bandit) a.s.a.p!”  It seems the bastard lost my cell number.  I dropped everything and made

     I had not heard of the Super Rally®  before now, but I did know that the H-D clubs are just as big in the EU as they are back in the U.S., if not bigger.  I hadn’t planned to go, as is usual with most of my journey so far, but at the last minute

  Lately I’ve had cause to ponder the question, “What makes a Biker a Biker?” Are you a “biker” just because you own a bike? Are you a lifestyle biker, or the occasional motorcycle weekend warrior? I even had a guy comment under a photo of me on Facebook, that he just didn’t understand “people

A half-million bikers were expected to roar into town for the 71st Daytona Bike Week. Uhh, probably not… Bike Week got pushed back because NASCAR bumped their opening race, the Daytona 500, back a week and the Daytona International Speedway requires a week to convert the track from cars to motorcycles.
