Wrench, Ride or Race?

By Paul Crowe

Work under way in the workshop of Richard Pollock's Mule Motorcycles

A recent post here touched on the idea that riding time was fast disappearing, as work, for many of us, encroaches on formerly free time with smart phones a constant reminder of what we do all day. Long periods free of interruptions are harder to come by and what you do then is a choice between many competing priorities. The choice, though, isn't always a matter of what we can … [Read more...]

Motus American Sport Tour

What better way to test a brand new motorcycle than to ride it across the country in all kinds of weather and riding conditions? That's the idea behind the Motus American Sport Tour.

2009 Iron Butt Rally winning route

Most of us will never road race at the top levels of competition, it just isn't in the cards, the young guns seem to have almost supernatural skills on the track, but all of us can ride and sometimes we cover a lot of ground in the course of a day and if we hear about a rally where long distance is involved, we might think, "Hey, maybe I could do that."

Touring Japan on a 1950 Nimbus 4 Cylinder Bobber

By Paul Crowe

The Kneeslider has quite a few regular readers and commenters with interesting stories of their own involving the motorcycles they ride. I noticed, Kim Scholer, of Denmark, who stops by frequently, has a nice article in the June 2009 issue of Britain's Classic Bike magazine that tells the story of his 8 week tour of Japan, on his 1950 Nimbus 4 cylinder bobber. I thought some of … [Read more...]
