Turn it up, Baby! Listen, enjoy. Now THAT's what a motorcycle should sound like! A good old American hot rod. Makes you wonder how many horses are hiding in there and how long it will take someone to find out. Just think about all of the other places that V4 would fit. For those of us of a certain age, that bike will sell on sound alone. UPDATE: We've got some new photos … [Read more...]
Motus MST and MST-R – Comfortable Sportbikes
After the rush of introducing the Motus MST, Lee and Brian wanted everyone to get a better look at the bike they've built. During the intro last week, Lee used the term "comfortable sportbike" to describe the Motus, something that would appeal to someone who has moved beyond the desire for the ultimate hard edged track weapon, and instead, wants to ride in relative comfort … [Read more...]

Despite fanfare, huge investment and tax credits, the sales aren't exactly electric, or as one witty observer put it, Nissan is having trouble turning over a new Leaf. Both of these vehicles are being sold by large auto manufacturers with a wide … [Read more...]

Tony has not had a seminar in the US in quite some time and he just sent out a note to say he is planning one for April 19th and 20th in the LA area.
