Joseph Morning parks his covered motorcycle on the street outside his North Carolina home every single night. But one morning, his girlfriend walked outside to find it gone.

There's a maxim we have used here at Jalopnik for many years: four wheels good, two wheels bad. Why do we say this? To put it simply: safety. Cars are inherently more stable than bikes, and they offer greater protection to their driver and passengers. That's why the motorcycle crashes that get posted here tend to be…

Motorcycle crashes usually look pretty gnarly. This guy hits a car, rolls over the hood Starsky & Hutch style, and lands on his feet with minor injuries.

Justice has been served, and this time on behalf of a biker who claimed he had been wrongfully arrested during a group ride on Memorial Day.

The 10th annual Streetfighterz Ride of the Century in St. Louis was filled with the same typical dumb stunts you see at any highway superbike meet up. When the police tried to cut everyone off with a roadblock, things got out of hand.

When one sport bike rider doesn't see a trailer in front of him in the road, the ensuing crash is unbelievably destructive. Watch the video and you won't believe he got away with just a broken arm and a broken leg.

Thatius is a true Jalopnik reader and, as such, he couldn't help himself when he saw a Google Street View car coming in his direction. How to immortalize yourself on a search engine's map? Pop a wheelie on your bike.

Vice President Joe Biden didn't really get fresh with a black leather-clad biker chick while he was trolling for votes at an Ohio campaign event this weekend; he just sat kind of close to her.

A Jalopnik tipster sent us a photo of this New Jersey genius, who appears to be texting whilst riding his motorcycle. Smart move.

I've seen the future, and it's a grim place for hoons like you and me. Cameras will monitor our speed. Congestion will reduce our opportunities to drive fast. Our own vehicles will report driver behavior back to the authorities. Hell, it's 2012 and it'd be socially unacceptable to enjoy our vehicles' performance even…

This Ironman racer in last weekend's Best in the Desert race from Vegas to Reno crashed on mile 520 of 534. He broke three ribs and punctured his left lung. Within two minutes he was back on his bike. What a badass.

The homebuilt Batpod from Vietnam looks finished, and it's more badass than ever.

If you have "land, rope swings, samurai swords or any cool shit," this $15,900 dirt bike could be yours. According to the seller, they're "a small price to pay to get fine ass bitches."

There are two hours left to buy this vintage motorcycle helmet with "Super Jew" graphics both left and right. If you are a Heeb who likes to hoon, it should be perfect for you.

Yes, truck drivers do hit those low bridges. Here is a truck transporting a crane striking a low overpass in Russia, nearly getting the biker behind it killed.

Try and guess the deadliest motorsports race in the world. Was it the German Grand Prix when it was held on the Nurburgring Nordschleife? Not even close. The Dakar Rally? You're still way off. The World Rally Championship, particularly the fatality-prone Group B series? Think again.

A replica of Batman's Batpod motorcycle turned up yesterday in Vietnam and it's awesome.

Over the weekend, the grueling Rally West Virginia was run in the scenic Potomac Highlands.

One of our readers turned up this photo on the Qatar Rides Facebook page and, like a train wreck, we just can't look away.

If you somehow get your motorcycle to travel at speeds approaching 200 mph and happen to capture the moment on video, it's best not to post it on YouTube. Or if you do, you should lie about where the video was shot.
