Pedrosa not worried about lack of a fast time
Date :February 28, 2015

"I think we did a good job," said Pedrosa. "We were testing a lot of things in the engine so everything is a little bit mixed. We never get the chance to put it all together, but finally our...
2015 MV Agusta Stradale 800 – FIRST RIDE
Date :February 28, 2015
The Stradale 800 was the surprise new model unveiled by MV Agusta at EICMA last November. We had already seen the Turismo Veloce sport-touring model at the EIMCA show in 2013, but this new 800 Stradale was completely unexpected. Also unexpected is the character of the bike. It’s a radical departure from the hot sportbikes that Claudio Castiglioni and son Giovanni wanted for MV Agusta. The new MV Agusta Stradale 800 is a comfortable and mild mannered machine, a tall-saddled runabout that’s...

Mexican Moto Police Officers on Harley-Davidsons!
Date :February 27, 2015
I don’t speak Spanish particularly well, at least not the sort of Spanish you’d want your grandmother to hear, but they say speech is only a part of communicating. This video of some acrobatic police officers in Mexico transcends the language barrier with a dab badassery and a heap of stupidity. Moto Police Add some south-of-the-boarder culture with motorcycles and you can write your own Erik Estrada joke. The video description, translated by Facebook, says, “For those who say that...

Date :February 24, 2015
MV Agusta hasn’t had a 1-2 finish since the 1973 Finland GP at Imatra, where Giacomo Agostini and Phil Read finished first and second in both the 350 and 500 classes. Now, though, it has happened again, with Jules Cluzel and Lorenzo Zanetti of Team Reparto Corse MV Agusta finishing 1-2 in the World Supersport 2015 season-opener at the fabulous Phillip Island circuit opener in Australia. Second at the start, Cluzel speared Kawasaki’s Kenan Sofuoglu at the second corner and led from then...
WORLD'S COOLEST LAND-SPEED INDIAN CHIEF VINTAGE?
Date :February 24, 2015
Pandya, Indian’s PR rep, keeps coming up with ideas to save this preproduction machine from the inevitable crusher, and he most recently converted Elnora into a land-speed machine that shot across the El Mirage dry lake in Southern California at 130.227 mph. Although that’s not an SCTA class record, it’s the fastest a Spirit Lake Indian has ever been ridden. In this transformation to land-speed machine, Pandya switched Elnora back to stock fenders, but he cut off the back half of the front...
