  Three times recently, I’ve come face-to-face with a new world of motorcycle seat technology. I recently stopped by Saddlemen and saw their new line of café-styled seats and rear fenders. During the conversation, we looked at seats designed for flat track racing and how they worked to keep racers in position, yet allowed them

Now don’t get the wrong idea as I mean no disrespect but when I go I want a Celebration of Life like Sam Wheeler had. Wonderful weather, a perfect location and a host of friends and family that filled the place to capacity. Laughing, telling stories, enjoying each others company. An afternoon well spent reminiscing

  Recently I had the pleasure to sit down with Frank White and talk to him about Harley-Davidson (NYSE:HOG) and the American motorcycle industry in general.

It’s more than 17 years since I first came into possession of this 1999 Softail Standard, which I bought used from Harley’s press fleet. Bone stock, it had about 8,000 miles on the clock, and had reportedly been flogged by Dan Ackroyd on some cross-country mischief tour before I got my grubby hands on it.

The roads bridges etc. need input from the motorcycle community and we should be asking people who ride or otherwise involved what the

This year, for my annual trip to Sturgis, I took my 2015 Harley Street Gilde FLHXS. I was excited to ride my new black Street Glide special, which has the worst stock suspension of a modern day motorcycle, let alone any other $25,000 bike I’ve ridden. I will save my rant on this subject and

Editor’s Note: When the new M-8 hit the news, we were all curious as hell. Would Harley buckle to some government regulation and build a liquid-cooled engine? Weren’t they still dialing in the Twin Cam? Would the new engine deal with Twin Cam issues? And finally, wow, how time flies. Seems like yesterday, the Twin

  Lothario Fade introduced the girl to the ride, confident she’d be amused and beguiled with his sanguine sway. As they dallied in line, the dazzle of lights and whir of contraptions awakened his joy and roused reckless pulse within, he leaned close to her, inhaling the intoxicating aroma of her perfume, a whiff of

              Biker weddings are like booze: they come in many different flavors, tastes, and strengths. Wild weddings have rocked bars, clubhouses, and campgrounds. Vows have been voiced from sacred passages in Harley shop manuals. Non-traditional nuptials have heated up midnight wilderness bonfires. “Just Hitched” signs are seen strapped to sissy

By Spitfire Today’s route would take us across Missouri starting in Cape Girardeau and ending in Springfield. Elevations were 300 to 1700 feet. 66 motorcycles lined up this morning to attempt another day. We had started with 91 but one never made it out of the parking lot so it was disqualified. The official number

By Spitfire Many riders were up before dawn. Last minute preparations were being made on bikes for the 247 mile ride from Bloomington, Indiana to Cape Girardeau, MO. The sun was shining and many locals were starting to arrive to look at the bikes and cheer the riders on. The riders were eager to get

By Spitfire Things seem to be settling down and people were looking forward to a day with fewer mountain grades. We started in Chillicothe, OH with a 224 mile course ending in Bloomington, IN. Maximum elevation is 1300 feet, a far cry from the 3000 ft elevation we had a couple days ago. The dew

By Spitfire The morning air was cool and foggy as the riders headed out into the narrow winding West Virginia back roads. Today we only got 8 pages of typed driving instructions instead of the 12 pages we got on day one and the 13 pages for day two. It looks like the hills won’t

by Spitfire Today began with a flurry of activity, riders lined up by classes. Class 1 is the oldest machines with the smallest engines. They are allowed to leave first, Class 2 leaves 30 minutes later and class 3 leaves 60 minutes after class 1. Even with that advantage, the “newer” motorcycles will likely pass

I doubt anyone got much sleep. They were up early, thoughtfully dressed in their best 1st day attire and most were ready for the challenges the day might bring. The first day of this historic adventure began in Atlantic City on the Boardwalk outside of Harry’s Oyster Bar. Motorized vehicles are not typically allowed on

By Spitfire A cloud of blue smoke arose from the parking lot outside of the University Plaza Hotel in Springfield, MO. Rumors were that we were going to see more rain today. I climbed up on a rock wall to watch the riders as they gathered for their scheduled departure time. Crew members and family
