Online Auction at https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1934-bmw-r11-series-5/ In many ways, old-school motorcycles are a lot like fine wine; the older they are, the better. Weā€™re all pretty thrilled about rides from the ā€˜70s and ā€˜80s, but that excitement tends to grow tenfold when you bring a pre-WWII bike into the equation. Take, for instance, the untainted 1934 BMW R 11 Series 5 featured in the photo gallery at the auction website.

Fact or Fiction – Helmet Use

from Motorcycle Riders Foundation at http://mrf.org/ On a nearly annual basis the media in this country is inspired to report stories about motorcycle fatalities on our nationā€™s roadways. Invariably, these stories paint motorcycle rider deaths as a product of irresponsible riders who live in states that have some level of helmet choice. Frequently they report statistics that prove their narrative but fail to paint a full and complete picture. The lens with which these stories are reported often takes the naĆÆve view that crashes can be made ā€œsaferā€ if only bikers somehow followed government helmet mandates. The only true solution to motorcycle safety and reducing fatalities are proactive measures, which prevent a collision from occurring at all, rather than reactive ...

by Daniel Patrascu from https://www.autoevolution.com In mid-July, American bike maker Harley-Davidson pulled the wraps off the Sportster S, one of the new Milwaukee models weā€™ve been waiting for for so long we kind of lost hope of actually seeing it.

Velocity Stack and Palm Springs ’74

By Bandit with photos from Sam Burns Collection Iā€™ve never been a fan of velocity stacks. One, I was just a hardworking sort and couldnā€™t afford top end jobs every year. I tried to build shit that was fast but would hang together. At the time I wore my greasy Leviā€™s every day, until they shinned. I couldnā€™t afford a motorcycle jacket, so I used an old parka and put a rough leather welding jacket over it. I dyed it black and sewed a set of Harley wings on the back. I wore gauntlet leather welding gloves, which I also died black. My hair was long sandy and wavy, and I had a full beard. Click Here to Read this ...
