Alt-Rock Cruisers: BMW targets American brand’s market

General Posts / By

by Jack Baruth from Hagerty.com BMW R18 meets Indian Challenger and Harley Heritage Classic The slightly ridiculous 1800cc, two-cylinder, leather-saddlebag, CHiPs-windshielded cruiser I’m trying to force through six stopped lanes of Los Angeles traffic can’t be taken as anything but an admission on the part of the Bayerische Motoren Werke that Harley-Davidson knows a) what boys like; b) what men want … in America, anyway.

Back-to-Back Wins for Monster Energy Kawasaki’s Jason Anderson

General Posts / By

February 19, 2022 | U.S. Bank Stadium | Minneapolis, Minnesota Foothill Ranch, Calif. (January 20, 2022) – Round 7 of the Monster Energy AMA Supercross Championship turned a cold shoulder to the sunny skies of the California coast as race fans were met with snowy air and subzero temperatures in Minneapolis, where Monster Energy Kawasaki’s Jason Anderson earned the 450SX Class victory, making him the first three-time winner in the class this season. The 250SX Eastern Regional Championship kicked off with Team Green™ flanking the podium with Monster Energy/Pro Circuit/Kawasaki riders Austin Forkner and Cameron McAdoo finishing in second and third place, respectively. Fellow Monster Energy/Pro Circuit/Kawasaki rider Jett Reynolds sustained a wrist injury prior to the race that will postpone his pro debut indefinitely. With veteran understanding of the unique Minnesota dirt, Anderson started his day with a clear intention of letting the track come to him. While the riders’ morning track walk daunted many as they recognized peakier jump faces and softer dirt than have been faced so far in 2022, Anderson expressed to the team his game plan of patiently allowing the track to develop and the transitions to wear in before pushing to race pace. The qualifying sessions went according to plan as Anderson tactfully waited until the final laps of the final session to jump to the top of the leader board. When qualifying concluded, Anderson’s 47.94 lap time earned him third position heading into the race program. When the second 450SX heat race got underway, Anderson emerged from the first turn in 10th position.

Or Anywhere Else! By Rogue I recently had a lady friend discuss going on a trip with me and of course the issue of how much clothes and stuff she could bring came up. I do have a bagger with a tour pack but it is full of camera equipment and the saddlebags are packed solid as well. I went shopping and ended up with a Harley Davidson ONYX Touring Bag #93300013.

Bandit’s First Bike Feature in Easyriders

General Posts / By

by Bandit with photos from the late Pete Chiodo I was working in a bike shop on Imperial Highway, US Choppers in 1970 to support going to Long Beach City College. I was into my first Shovelhead after I sold my 1969 XLCH, and perhaps my fourth bike build after the Sportster, a bent Triump 650 and a 45 trike ground up. Through Andy Hansen and Bob George I started to rebuild engines. I met Andy on the USS Maddox, DD731, which was my last duty station in the service. I started to work for Easyriders on the third issue in 1971. That puts me at about 52 years in the motorcycle industry.
