A lot of first time riders ask, what type of motorcycle is best for them. There’s no single answer, but on the background of my personal experience, here’s a few things I think you should consider. Which motorcycle type to choose? Sports bike, cruiser, touring, dual-purpose or street bike, there’s a lot to choose from and you [...] Continue reading

Yeeeeeeaaargh! weeeehee!!! yeeaaaargh!!! Just got back from the Speedway Grand Prix in Parken, Denmark. Spirits was very high as the Danish Hans Andersen won the Grand Prix and every heat was insanely close. I’ve never attended a Speedway Grand Prix before, although it is (along with Le Mans) sort of the national Danish motor sport. It [...] Continue reading

Gymi tells us about his Kawasaki ZXR1100 Eddie Lawson Replica: I bought this bike September of last year after riding a Honda Shadow Spirit for the last four. I really didn't know what I was going to buy at the time. Several bikes interested me, The Honda 919, Yamaha FZ 1, BMW R1150R, and Kawasaki Nomad. I was drawn to the ZXR for the ELR look. Being an Eddie Lawson fan, I have always wanted an ELR or S1. Continue reading

Messing with my flickr account the other day, I found some nice motorcycle photos when snooping around. There’s some photo’s of custom metric motorcycles from Barons Customs, which goes to show you don’t have to have a Milwaukee power plant to ride a smoking hot scoot. Next is Craig Clement, a photographer student, who has [...] Continue reading

Kawasaki has taken quite a while replacing their old trusty workhorse and beginners bike the ER5. So I expected them to come up with something that could maybe knock Yamaha’s FZ6 off its pedestal. In terms of modern design and technique it’s a big leap ahead from the ER5, but is it a good bike? My [...] Continue reading

Is the day where a 1000ccm sport bike was the wet dream of every young bike nut beginning to see an end? 400ccm to 650ccm single and twin cylindered supermotos, flat trackers and street fighters are starting to pop up everywhere. Right now most of them are custom builds or kit bikes, like the Ron [...] Continue reading

Last year (2005) in August I stumbled upon this old beauty of a Harley Davidson FLH 1200 from 1973. My focus the last couple of years have mainly been on sport bikes and naked bikes, street fighters or what ever you want to call them. But when I saw this one I had to have it, [...] Continue reading

I’ve had my eyes on the Multistrada for a while. I’m looking for the right replacement to my Honda 919, and it will probably be something in the sport touring category. My girlfriend and I are crazy about the camping-touring vacation form. So I’m going for a bit more wind protection and touring capabilities. But [...] Continue reading

I heard about this movie a while back when it was only rumours, and totally forgot about it. Then I came across the trailer (watch it below) and discovered that my favourite childhood comic book superhero, Ghost Rider a.k.a. Johnny Blaze, is being played by my favourite actor, Nicolas Cage. Yes, that’s a cleared spot [...] Continue reading

I’m not the biggest fan of the bling bling mantelpiece choppers spawned from some of the Discovery channel rockstars. But they do come up with some amazing contraptions now and again. The trend at the moment seems to be radical engine modifications. Like Roger Goldhammer who won the World Championship of Custom Bike Building, with [...] Continue reading

Check out the new and improved Helmet Hair. I did it. Changed blogging platform from Blogger to Wordpress. I spent a lot of time tweaking my template, but the import of my entries from Blogger was a piece of cake. You can really make Wordpress jump through hoops if you take the time to learn how.
