The title of this short post is also the title of the DVD illustrating a man with a goal. It synthesizes Gaurav Jani's successful attempt to border China from Delhi to Changthang Plateau in Ladakh on the saddle of its 350cc Royal Enfield motorcycle and without any support whatsoever. There is no cameraman except himself, no sound guy, nobody! On the seventy days trip, Gaurav filmed himself gathering miles, interacting with people, or simply admiring the wonderful sights that permanently (...)

Riders usually have second thoughts about riding their two-wheeled rockets as safety is a bigger and bigger concern.

The Hit Air Jacket is equipped with an automatically inflatable (...)

Unless that guy is preparing for the ride with the new Aprilia RSV 1000 R, I don't see why it would be filmed all through this video. Anyway, enjoy viewing the new Aprilia until it will arrive in your garage.

Usually when I talk about riding motocross or trail bikes I tend to position each bike in its own environment, the track or the off-road. It seems that I'm out of fashion. To be honest, this is no highway, but what this guy does really took my breath away.

The sunshine (...)

During the official presentation of the Ducati 1098 R, which took place this week at the Spanish track in Jerez de la Frontera, the Ducati Xerox Team have unveiled the new livery of the Ducati 1098 F08 that will participate in the World Superbike Championship. The new 1098 F08 is directly derived from the 1098 R and has been developed as a result of the new World Superbike regulations that allow for both 1200cc two-cylinder machines and 1000cc four-cylinders to line up on the grid (...)

After seeing Robbie Maddison going for the Largest Motorcycle Jump World Record in the last hours of 2007 at the Rio Casino car park in Las Vegas and succeeding an incredible 322 feet and 7 ½ inches from jump to landing, we can already witness Jason Rennie gearing up and preparing to beat the same world record. Isn't that amazing?
