Anatomy of the Kawasaki Vulcan 900 Custom

August 31st, 2007

I have to be honest: when they told me this was the model of the motorcycle they wanted to loan me I immediately looked it up on Kawasaki.com. My initial reaction to this bike was kinda eh. I didn’t like how the bike seemed to be mash-up of a sport bike and a cruiser with [...]

Video Tuesday: dvd review of Wild Hogs

August 28th, 2007

I barely go to the movies anymore. I have a Netflix subscription and movies come to dvd so quickly these days that I don’t mind the wait. When I saw trailers for Wild Hogs on tv back in March, I knew deep down in my soul that it wasn’t going to be a good movie. [...]

August 23rd, 2007

First off, I’d like to say that I’m a very good driver. And I don’t mean in the Rainman sense either. I really know how to handle both my bike and my car. With that being said, let’s talk about motorcycle insurance and the scam that it is in relationship to automobile insurance (another uber-scam). [...]

I just read an article about a guy who made a monocycle and it reminded me of a TV show I saw, I think it was a Biker Build-off. Billy Lane, who some of you may be familiar with, is a custom bike builder out of Melborne, Florida. He also has a mechanical engineering degree [...]
