Now it’s up to a cool looking roller and we’re trying to get [...]

Here are some highlights of the 2008 Iraan Annual Sportbike Rally, which was held a few weeks back to benefit the Iraan, Texas Senior Citizens Center.

If you remember Project M85 Freeride, you’ll see the same idea in this new concept bike from Derbi, the Derbi DH 2.0, a mountain bike sized motorcycle with a small engine and very light weight. It has fuel in frame like a Buell, an automatic transmission, a 100cc air cooled 4 stroke engine, underseat exhaust, [...]

Some gutless prick has gone and knocked off an absolute pearler of a GSX1400 from a guy I know. It was ridden out of his unit complex this morning in Chermside on the north side of Brisbane after said asshole busted the steering lock. Des had only just put the wheels on last Saturday and he has put a hell of a lot of work into this bike. To whoever stole it...good luck trying to sell those wheels coz they only fit the GSX and the word is out!!If anyone

I've been getting a few of these lately:"Dear Tim, I enjoy your blog very much but noticed you have not written about any of this year's racing series. Is there a reason for this?" - Perry in FloridaYes and no, Perry. Part of the reason my writings on roadracing have waned lately is because my interest over the past 12 years or so has been primarily with the AMA series. But I'm sure I don't have to tell you that there's absolutely nothing to write about in that series these

We thought we would do this over Memorial Day weekend so that we could actually have 9 days available and only costing those of us who work, 4 days vacation. We have not been back on the bike since 2005 so we are really looking forward to the trip. Nothing has been set in stone and we are in the process of getting places to stay and that sort of thing. Here is the plan. (I want to make
