Specially designed for the Honda Gold Wing 1800, the Cobra GL 1800 tires from Avon Motorcycle Tyres are the perfect choice for the rigorous demands of the powerful launches, fast acceleration, hard cornering and hard braking of this powerful bike. When compared to the stock tires, the Cobra GL 1800 rear tire offers an increased load index of 80 to handle nearly 1,000 pounds. A triple compound, including a longer lasting compound in the center, softer shoulder compound for improved grip and cornering performance, and a third compound underneath, work together to reduce tire temperature and increase mileage.

    Just a few years ago, Dickson “Doc” Hendley was just one of us, rolling from place to place on his ’95 Heritage Nostalgia with no particular direction or purpose except finding a good time. The then 24-year-old took classes at North Carolina State, rode around the country and changed his life. He's now on a mission to bring water to folks who don't have it.   Terrific story!  

  Honda Power Sports touts the Honda Gold Wing touring motorcycle as a bike that “can make your riding dreams come true” as it represents the height of luxury to enthusiasts looking to combine their loves of riding with long-distance travels. From comfortable seating for two to high end technological spoils that include XM radio, iPod docking and a navigation system, the Gold Wing touring cycle really packs everything in to make the $23,000 retail price worthwhile.

Continental Tire has announced the voluntary recall of approximately 1,700 ContiMotion ...

  Okay, so it’s time to turn the Pro Street version of the Mudflap over to my son, Frank, but first we couldn’t leave the bone stock remanufactured 80-inch Evo engine alone. I reached out to S&S for a cam recommendation, and they recently built a relationship with Crane Cams.          http://www.bikernet.com/pages/Mudflap_Girl_FXR_Part_12She_meets_SS.aspx
