GG Quad update
28 February 2006Keith, from Quad USA (located in Dallas, Texas, by the way) dropped us a line to let us know they were indeed under pressure to get ready for the Indy show so their website wasn’t up to snuff but soon will be. He also pointed out a post on the BMW Sport Touring forum where [...]
MegaSquirt - Electronic Fuel Injection Kit
28 February 2006A comment on our post about flexible fuel motorcycles mentioned the MegaSquirt Electronic Fuel Injection kit which I had never heard of, so I thought I should check it out.
In my post, I mentioned how E85 ethanol is getting a lot of coverage these days and I was wondering if any motorcycles were capable of [...]
Piaggio 3 Wheel Scooter Concept
27 February 2006It looks like Piaggio came out two concept scooters at the Bologna Motor Show last December with two front wheels. The wheels tilt in a turn just like on a normal scooter. The idea is greater safety for novice riders even when conditions turn very bad. The two concepts were powered by 250cc and 400cc [...]
Boss Hoss - Keith Black 605 V8 Power
26 February 2006Once again, a little ebay cruise turns up a monster, this is a Keith Black 605 cubic inch Aluminum V8 Boss Hoss Motorcycle. After all, if a 502 is fine, why not a 605? Why not, indeed? It also comes with a nitrous kit, … yep, nitrous.
I’m more than a little skeptical of the cited [...]

Crower Six Stroke engine
24 February 2006Bruce Crower, founder of Crower Cams and Equipment, is now retired but he’s still working in his well equipped home workshop. While thinking of ways to improve the old internal combustion engine, he came up with a method to harness the wasted heat energy by creating steam inside the combustion chamber, and using it to [...]
Ducati SportClassic Helmets by Cromwell
24 February 2006Ducati is bringing out their SportClassic helmets by Cromwell. We mentioned Cromwell Helmets last November and I think they look absolutely perfect for a lot of older bikes. After all, if you’re riding a classic of any kind, you wouldn’t dress like you’re racing in this year’s MotoGP, kinda ruins the illusion. You get a [...]
West Racing Cars - Motorcycle Powered
24 February 2006In all of the coverage we’ve given to motorcycle powered cars we neglected to mention West Racing Cars. They have some great track cars powered by your choice of Kawasaki ZX10R or ZX12R engines and one Suzuki choice as well. The Kawasaki engines are purchased in the crate from Muzzy so you’re not running some [...]
