Muskegon was loud and colorful for the 8th Bike Time Rally. The tribe of 100,000 assembled this past weekend by the lakeshore in Muskegon, MI for the annual Muskegon Bike Time Rally. The main drag is West Western Avenue and it transforms into "Steel Horse Alley" on Thursday when the circus comes to town. I flew into Michigan for Bike Time because Biker Pros produced the Extreme Custom Bike Show at Muskegon Bike Time for the Rally. This is the 2nd year and the show just gets stronger and stronger. The caliber of the bikes are outstanding and the builders enjoy hanging out by the bikes, talking with enthusiasts, revving their engines and playing their stereos for the crowds. ...

  Enjoy the camaraderie of other independent, self-reliant women. by Vicki Sanfelipo. Be the first to comment 'Rallies', 'Road Trips' and it’s human nature to want to belong to a group of like-minded individuals. You see many such groups in the world of motorcycling. In 1985, when I started riding, there weren’t many female groups, and most of the male-dominated groups did not allow women to belong. Computers, social media and even cell phones weren’t prevalent, so most groups were in local communities. I was a tomboy at heart, so hanging out with the guys was never difficult for me, but I longed for opportunities to ride with other women and enjoy the camaraderie. I read every article I found ...

  2007 Firefighter Harley Ultra travels from Texas to Serbia for Brotherhood. By Wild Bill. In May of 2012 even though it was very chilly at 5 AM I was riding my ‘07 Firefighter Harley Ultra to work for a typical 24 hour shift. The cold ride to work was worth it for the beautiful ride home after shift! During training that day I was very significantly injured – retired on permanent disability from on the job injury – and had to be brought home by ambulance. Long story short, I was robbed of my ability to ride, at least at that time and certainly not atop a heavy Ultra. As a result my bike sat outside for some time ...
