Mark Savory took a rather circuitous route to where he is today. An early interest in design then studies in engineering and computer science, a bit of IMSA racing, restoring a classic Ferrari, working in the computer field and then following all this with a dot com startup company that finally got it right (after two that didn't), meant Mark was able to relax just a bit. … [Read more...]
Riwi Products Single Side Front Fork
While digging around looking for interesting motorcyce parts I came across Riwi Products in Innsbruck, Austria. It looks as though they make a few different things like wheels and forks but the part they seem to be promoting the most is their single sided front fork (or front arm, can't be a fork with one side, I guess).

Hugo Van Waaijen, industrial designer on the project and in charge … [Read more...]
Vietnam Increasing Motorcycle Exports
Another SE Asian country looking to ramp up motorcycle exports is Vietnam. We've written about the Vietnamese scooter rebuilding companies trying to make a name for themselves with varying degrees of success, but Vietnam is moving into building and exporting brand new motorcycles, too. It's not a big industry yet, but you can be sure it will be. They're aiming at $300 million … [Read more...]
