New page - just random pictures of motorcycles, whether they are extremely cool or the exact opposite.

One of the reasons I'm on the bike every day is because I don't have queue up behind all the cagers. If it weren't for that, maybe I'd rather take the car to work; I mean, if I'm going to be bored in traffic, I might as well do it with a coffee and some rock on the radio. Unfortunately, it's not legal everywhere. It got shot down in Nevada recently and is only legal in California at the moment (I think). Above (on the left) are some of the CHP's guidelines. It is legal in the UK and much of Europe (see video on right).

It is quite clear to anyone with a brain that the 3D printer is the coolest thing ever invented by man, even though we'll probably get used to it in about a week and then want something even cooler (as long as there are lasers involved). The motorcycle printed by these guys is of course not a functioning one, but maybe one day...

Some pretty cool high speed (1500fps) footage of motorcycles. It gives you a better idea of how much the bike is actually doing to keep you on the road: http://blog.axisofoversteer.com/2009/07/motogp-1500-frames-per-second.html.

This is what I'm talking about... This guy is doing exactly what I want to be doing.

Both are outstanding motorcycles. But I still prefer the sound of a boxer engine.

So here are some motorcycles to cheer you up. And ladies.

Happiness is a disease, and I am the cure. Or something like that. Also, how not to pack a motorcycle.

Apparently, BMW cars are called bimmers and BMW motorcycles are known as beamers or beemers. I never knew this. Anyway, for the Dick of the Week award, go to the blog.

Packing Checklist  
I'm putting a motorcycle checklist up on the internet so that others can benefit from it, but mostly so that I don't have to compose a new  one every time I take a trip. This one is only for a short trip - about three days total. Most of the emphasis here is on packing for motorcycle camping...Read more

Are helmets necessary?  A lot of motorcyclists agitate for the relaxation of helmet laws, and some actually claim that helmets are dangerous in accidents, since they increase neck injuries. Now, there are some studies that aim to put this debate to rest once and for all.  What does the science say? 

Some general guidelines for the motorcycle tourer. A section that will be under permanent development. Every long ride teaches you something new, even if it's only your own tolerance for cold and rain. I myself have tons to learn, especially when it comes to adventure motorcycling. I still crap myself when I see sand coming up. Eventually, if you put together everything in this section, you'll be one hell of a motorcycle tourer.

Fond of extremely attractive women? We have a special page where they live. Girls standing next to motorcycles are somehow better than regular girls - perhaps only second to girls actually on bikes...
