There are some ways it makes sense, but it depends on the bikes and finding the right method. And then finding someone I can trust and like riding with. Read more

Facsinating. I read every link. I’ve always associated it with a violent person who’s lacking on smarts and morals. And, unlike what the first article suggests, I would have absolutely called a blonde guy a thug. In fact, for some reason I assumed all of these riders were white before I went back to check the video Read more

Wait, you're saying someone bought a goldwing just to try and look cool instead of enjoying the places it will take him and experiences on it? Read more

How is it used these days? Guys riding in a pack mentality, trying to act tough, are thugs. Read more

And because the Europeans got to ride it months ago? Yeah, me too. Read more

Pretty excited to try and get weird in far off lands on the Super Duke GT, rage on the BMW S 1000 R and S 1000 XR, and get all hipster all over eveyrone’s asses on the new Triumphs. Read more

Things get real weird there. They care way more about mileage, and if anything happens (like you get hit by a car on it), the shit hits the fan. You guys keep reading and sharing and commenting on articles and we’ll keep hitting them over the head with numbers and get it worked out. Read more

The triumph launches were all pretty poorly planned and not the best use of my time, but I have a string of triumphs booked to review them shortly. Same for some of the new Guzzis and KTMs. MV still can’t insure their press fleet, and BMW doesn’t think people read the Internet. Read more

Shit, I dunno what I was thinking. I had flashbacks to the pads on the 959 flying open into turn one at Valencia. Read more

Looks like a little bit of a tank slapper, which probably pushed the pads back because of the ABS. He tried to grab some front brake but there was nothing there. Got more of a wobble and lost it. Read more
