Just wanted to post this up for you all to check out. I sold my FZ a month ago to Bikebandit.com for Cycle World's Project Re-Cycle so they could turn it into a streetfighter and auction it off for charity. Their site went live a while back so now it's time you see the beast my former stocker...

As I sat to edit last year's SoCal ride video on my old computer, I checked an old car news bookmark and ran across this article:

I think most of us have seen the video where the rider cornered and accosted at gunpoint for some minor...

Anyone want to take my spot and save me losing my whole deposit?

Left work in Hollywood a week ago friday around 11:30pm and shot towards the freeway to head home. Passed a CHP patrol car that had stopped an SUV just past a light. 200 yards further North there was a slight bend to the left. Thought I was clear, so I rolled on the...

What would compel someone to do this? Don't get me wrong, I'm all about doing stuff just to say you did it... but really?
Ok, so after the 400 amazing miles today I was exhausted. That Red Bull I drank before the last leg home hit me hard and while I was too tired to go out, I was too awake to sleep. Had a lot of fun with the video from our ride and came up with this short fun little teaser:

Just saw this over at Hell for Leather. New study from Michigan State entitled "Donorcycles" claiming that helmet laws reduce the number of available organ donors.
From Hell for Leather Magazine:
Describing its purpose, the paper states, "This paper investigates the possibility of an...
Here is a video I put together for my first track day, discussed in this thread.
Since my ATC2K's never worked that day, all the footage is from my friend's GoPro mounted to his ZX-6R. Can't wait until next time I make it to the track...

Saw this at the Ducati Demo day at Newcombs Ranch on Angeles Crest Highway last weekend. Here's a crappy video:

When it drove away, it was as if time itself stopped to marvel in the perfect chorus emanating from the exhaust tucked behind the seat. Too bad I...
I've been trying to get a decent & simple cam setup for a while now, and after having limited success with my ATC2K camera, bought a GoPro Hero Wide off of LERecords this week. He gave me a great deal on the whole package, and got it to me super fast!
Here is my first test with it... "The...
Today marks the special occasion of being my very first track day. This has been a long time coming, but I'm glad the FZ6 made it into my stable just in time to tackle the big track at Willow Springs.
There was a group of seven of us, two of which I ride with regularly. I was a bit nervous...
So a friend of a friend is selling his FZ6, and I'm going to take a look at it on Sunday. If the bike is nice, I'm selling my beloved Ninja500 and buying it!
I've run across the Used Motorcycle Evaluation Guide, but wanted to ask y'all if there was anything specific to this bike that I...
