Japan rules the roost when it comes to the future of motorcycles and it seems that one particular manufacturer was hit by the idea of a lifetime. A new, electric motorbike prototype from Genesis was unveiled featuring a hybrid magnetic motor. Apparently, the unit can power the motorcycle almost noiselessly up to speeds of 112 mph. Interesting as well is the riding position. The biker is extremely comfortable accommodated in an armchair-like riding position and even best is that the (...)

From College OTR:
Four men were taken into custody yesterday after one man, Tharin Gartrell, was arrested in Denver when police found two rifles, ammo, a rifle scope, a bullet-proof vest, walkie-talkies and meth in his car during a routine traffic stop. They knew it was serious because of the walkie-talkies-- ...

Set up by John Burgin as a retiring activity, the hidden motorcycle museum is one of the best privately owned collections of motorcycles in the country. It is located in Spanaway, Washington (so it's not hidden any more?) and it includes a full set of Harley-Davidson Knuckleheads. John passed away two years ago, but it leaves behind what could easily be the work of a lifetime gathered only during its (...)

Which better way to compare a Suzuki Hayabusa with a Kawasaki ZX14 then on a straight line? And which better place to do that then at the O'Reilly Raceway Park at Indianapolis? The Hayabusa was going for a good run, but it seems that previous burnouts for worming out that rear tire worn it too much, ending up blowing. It is amazing that the rider was still conscious after such a crash and I can understand why it didn't got up its (...)

When time is short and distance is long, people end up inventing such things as houses on wheels. Yes, they're called motor homes, but you don't expect to see a three-wheeled machine with the roof made out of wood and straws when you say that don't you? I must agree with you although this is a common sight in Cambodia. Entire families commute like that and as long as it keeps rain away, everything is supposedly just fine. On the side, they have an arbor so sun is also a factor to be taken in (...)

Suzuki presents today a dream come true: the Limited Edition MotoGP inspired Suzuki GSX-R1000. Riders longing to look like Capirossi and Vermeulen must know that Suzuki has made this new limited edition GSX-R1000 available in special blue color, exactly like the one of the Suzuki GSV-R. Their strategy is to allow Loris Capirossi and Chris Vermeulen, as well as the team's fans, to take to the road a GP-inspired colored version of one of the best track racing bikes ever made. A number of (...)

Dad--THE Biker ... Me--the Heir
('78 - '85 Harley Parts - Mostly Shovelhead and Sportster - In Bulk Bins)
What to do with a truckload of vintage Harley parts valued by Dear Old Dad and bequeathed to lit'l ole ME?
View the pics, if you know the parts then you know the worth. Make an offer for the whole kit 'n kaboddle or separate groupings as photographed. Pleeze ... no cherry pickin' of piece meal items. This is hard enough to deal with. Your questions will probably be "Greek to Me", so you either figure it out from the pics or just take a chance and go for broke. Enlarge pics for high res view; more being inventoried daily ... 79 years worth

Shot in 1989, this motorcycle chase that I found on Youtube catches my attention for being more complex and realistic than most modern-day scenes despite the “ingenious” defense methods. Which brings us to question I've long wanted to ask: Are stunts as attractive and impressive now as they were in the good old days? Permalink | Comments
