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?

This Saturday, 70 officers from more than 18 law enforcement agencies are scheduled to participate at the Western States Motorcycle Officers Association's training and skills competition from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. The event will take place at the Elk Grove Regional Park, 9950 Elk Grove Florin Road and it is suppose to show us how trained and full of ability the arm of the law is, something that is fair and full of consistency. But I'm beginning to think that they'd better do their job and absolve (...)

This picture represents the very essence of motorcycle beginnings as it illustrates the first motorcycle that featured an engine functioning on gas. Built by Daimler in 1885, the machine is as rudimentary you could ever imagine, but well ahead of its time thanks to its motor. Rolling on two massive wagon wheels and being supported by other two lateral ones, this wooden horse must have been a rough ride from just above 0 (...)

Although it hasn't designed any bike yet, Nissan has plans to introduce a scooter in the future. Named the Nissan Mori, this is, as you can see, a simple-designed concept that can adjust to suit every rider while the on-board computer takes care of all maintenance and mechanical problems. Part of the ecological scooter revolution, the Mori is designed by Shane Crozier who wishes that his creation would be the next best solution for those who live in the suburbs and daily commute to the city, (...)

By the way this video starts (parking lot, motorcycle trick attempt…you know what I mean), I wouldn't give this guy too many chances of successfully performing what he has in mind and anticipate it won't get hurt, especially because of the very slow speed. But I am happy to say that amaze struck as soon as I've seen the rest. How was your reaction? See more funny videos and funny pictures at (...)

If I would relate the word “funny” with “crash”, this would be the video I'd refer to. But, as I do not want to say that, I simply call it bad luck for the pilots and lots of entertaining for the spectators. As you can see, inspiration strikes racing drivers in some of the most dangerous situations and yet they manage to maintain a practical and cold thinking. How would you react in any of the given (...)

Keeping the news section in the Knievel register, we are happy to announce that Christian Audigier made today public its intention of launching a new clothing line that is closely inspired by the costumes worn by Evel Knievel through its long and famous daredevil career. And which better place to launch the new clothing line than at the Caesar’s Palace Hotel, in Las Vegas? The event will be part of the “When I Move You Move” show on August 25, 2008 at 3:00 p.m. Composed from (...)

Ex motorcycle racer Christian Tavert from Florida is now an innovating engineer with two awesome projects on its creative hands. Both concepts were designed by Australian Tim Cameron and have received their magical touch from the ex racing driver so they are waiting to go into production pretty soon. The first to roll out the production line is the VR-2, a motorcycle for which Christian Tavert decided that a Harley-Davidson V-Rod engine would be the most appropriate. Take a look at the (...)

Present at a Wisconsin casino on August 16th 2008, Robbie did what a Knievel knows doing best: jumping over stuff. In this case, over four airplanes and a helicopter, but it was enough for the public to go nuts. Notice that the asphalt was wet, either from rain or to prevent things from catching up fire, so the jump was pretty risky even though it didn't covered that much distance. We heard the landing was ok (...)
