The Future of E-Motorcycles
Electric motorcycles, also known as e-motorcycles, are becoming increasingly popular as consumers and manufacturers alike recognize the benefits of electric propulsion. One of the main advantages of e-motorcycles is their environmental friendliness. Electric motors produce zero emissions, making them a cleaner alternative to traditional gasoline-powered motorcycles. Additionally, e-motorcycles are often…
So This is What You Guys Deal With?
Now, as I’m writing this, it’s incredibly cold down here in Dixie, and frankly, everything from about Albuquerque to the Atlantic in is the deep freeze. By the time you read this, things will likely be back to normal here, but I’ve got something to say: Damn it’s cold! No…
Why Harley (Quietly) Got Rid Of LiveWire
Those of ya’ll who’ve been reading us for a long time know how I feel about Harley’s LiveWire bike… It’s not traditional It’s not a V-twin It’s shockingly “un-Harley” It’s expensive for an electric I’ve said over and over that, on the one hand, it’s a 180 degree turn from…
Yes, Harley IS Closing… Sort Of
An interesting piece of news came out of Milwaukee a few weeks ago, and like so many things “Harley” there are several ways to take it. Harley-Davidson Inc.’s top executive Jochen Zeitz said the company will “repurpose” its historic 500,000-square-foot headquarters on Milwaukee’s west side later this year. The CEO…
The Most Wonderful Time of the Year
Okay, for a lot of you, the title might not be as real as it was three weeks ago, but down here, we’re a little slower to change to Autumn. In fact, as of this writing, the first drops into the thirties at night are predicted this weekend. In short?…

Starting Them Out Safely
One of the things that’s frustrating about riding is the lack of options for learning about bikes unless you’re born into a family that rides. I can’t tell you the number of young people that ask me about riding, and – if they’ve got an adult with them – the…
What’s In A Nickname?
Say what you want, but we’ve all got them – your road name or nickname, depending on what part of the country you live in. I’ve heard plenty of them over the years, and the best ones, as far as I’m concerned, have a great story behind them. Anybody can…
Most of Us Can’t Use This Tip
But I’m going to tell you anyway. A few weeks ago, a buddy of mine was bemoaning the way the old plastic on his street bike was faded and oxidizing. He’d tried everything – the old school stuff like polishing compound, the latest gimmick on YouTube, and he’d even considered…
Fuelly Tips
It seems freakin’ weird to be writing an article about fuel economy for motorcycles, but here we are. Gas is through the roof and what once was a pleasant way to waste $30 on a weekend is now more like wasting a day’s pay on the weekend. Nevertheless, here goes:…
Making the Best of It
One of the things I’ve always enjoyed about the pastime of riding is how changes seem to exist outside of you. You’re not only moving in (and through) a place, but as we ride, the environment we’re riding through changes, too. That high country backroad that’s closed in the winter…
