Steve McQueen's Board Tracker Goes For $775,000

A 100-year old motorcycle once owned by Steve McQueen has sold for $775,000, making it one of the most valuable motorcycles ever. The motorcycle, a Cyclone Board Track Racer, looks more like a bicycle with a motor added on than a traditional motorcycle. The model was made by the Joerns Motor Manufacturing Co. between 1913 and 1916. This motorcycle was auctioned off Saturday by Mecum Auctions in Las Vegas. Despite its modest appearance a motorcycle from this model was recorded going 111 mph in 1914, which was a record at that time. The motorcycle was owned by McQueen, and was previously purchased at an estate auction in November 1984, four years after his death. It has been restored since then. ...

Attempt to Repeal Motorcycle Helmet Law Stalled in Nebraska

An attempt to repeal Nebraska's motorcycle helmet law has stalled in the Legislature.Ā Supporters on Monday fell nine votes short of the 33 needed to halt debate and vote on the measure. The repeal bill now falls to the bottom of this year's agenda, likely killing it for the year. The repeal measure would have lifted Nebraska's restriction on motorcycle helmets for riders who are at least 21 years old. Operators would still have to wear eye protection.Ā Motorcyclist groups have tried to repeal the law for more than two decades. Nebraska is one of 19 states that require helmets for all riders. Sen. Dave Bloomfield of Hoskins says he introduced the bill because riders should have the choice. Opponents say the ...

The F3 Rocketeer Is On Its Way To Shangai

Where does inspiration come from? Itā€™s all around us. What encourages someone to push the boundries of what is the norm? I continually look for those opportunities. A few years ago, a very special customer walked into my life who had a vision of a bike that did not fit the norm. I still remember him describing to me his vision for his bike. He wanted something all aluminum with simple elegant lines, similar to the Porsche Speedster that James Dean drove. He also wanted a touch of Art Deco represented in the bike. I remember telling him, ā€œto do this properly, weā€™ll need to machine the tanks and fendersā€... and to my amazement he said, ā€œwell letā€™s do it ...
