Last Saturday Motodisiac and I rode out over 100 miles to watch the AMA Supermoto championship held at Morongo casino in Cabazon, CA. After quickly fixing a loose chain on my bike (courtesy of the “professional” tire change work of Moto Club Di in Santa Monica, CA a couple of weeks ago) we took off […]
Today in Valencia 7 time F1 Champion Michael Shumacher completed 58 laps onboard of Casey Stoner’s Ducati. Amazingly he lapped at impressive pace, his quickest lap in high 1:37’s. That is only 5 (!) seconds off the lap record set by Dani Pedrosa this weekend. This just proves that Moto GP bikes are very easy […]
So Valentino Rossi highsides out of Saturdays qualifying in spectacular manner.
After being diagnosed with 3 broken bones in his right hand he bravely suits up and shows up for Sunday race. He has NEVER missed a race in his 11 year Moto GP career. He starts well and before you know it we see him […]
About a year ago somebody on Adv Rider posted a link to old DTM footage on You Tube involving glorious Mercedes 190E and BMW M3’s. Since I’d already owned two E30 M3’s in the past, I figured it was time to try a Silver Star from Stuttgart. About two weeks later I was driving home […]
Most of US racing fans are doomed to watch Speed channel if they want to see any kind of racing action. Over the years we’ve gotten used to extra long commercial breaks in the heat of the action, World Superbike races or Tuesdays and re-runs of old programs in prime time on Sunday, when the […]
The second I laid my eyes on this bike I was in love.
I’ve been thinking about similar concept before, dreaming about buying some street legal MX bike, outfitting it with 250 GP bodywork and stuffing CR500 motor in it. Sounds like fun? It looks like I was beat again, this time by Roland Sands. According […]
Never Underestimate the Power of the Right Trajectory. Lazily browsing YouTube video selection (it’s ok, everyone is addicted to YouTube) I found this video (unfortunately can’t be embedded here) that reflects on how easy it is to slide out of the turn when going too fast and/or too wide. Somehow that picture was constantly in […]
No matter what your girlfriend ever told you the harsh reality is - size matters. And the German by the name of Clemens F. Leonhardt is there to prove it.
Originally the Boeing 767 tires were planned on being used.
The engine - two cylinders from an old radial airplane engine, the 410-cubic inch V-Twin that produces […]
I think Valentino Rossi gave us all hope. His original plan was to race for Yamaha in 2008 and then probably retire, however his recent remarks give us a hint that he is planning to stay in the game for another year. In the interview to Autosport.com he said: “For 2008 I have a contract […]
This morning on the way to work I waved to about 20 motorcyclists coming the opposite way and not ONE waved me back. Usually at least some wave, so this was quite unusual. For 50 miles I was waiting for a wave back but it never came. I was gutted, how come all of the […]
