WP Factory Tour!
Date :April 23, 2015
ny knowledgeable motorcycle enthusiast will tell you WP is a Dutch suspension manufacturer. That was true once, but in the nearly four decades since the firm was established, it has become more. Much more, as I discovered during a tour of the Austrian factory. WP was founded in 1977 by Wim Peters, whose initials purportedly gave the company its name. That’s only part of the story, however, because for many years WP went by White Power. This made sense for two reasons: First, the company’s...

Date :April 18, 2015
May 21st and 24th, 2015 at La Marina Joseph Khoury- Dbayeh It is a universal truth that the best way to understand a man is to think like a man.

Stemming from that belief, FEW, a newcomer in the event management arena, decided to dedicate an entire exhibition for men. Whether they are seeking simple apparel or aiming for a tad of sophistication, men can find it all...
When You Fall Off the Horse, Get Back On: A Women Who Ride Profile
Date :April 17, 2015
What makes road racing so great is that it’s one of the only sports that lets women race with the men. Since it is a coed sport, it’s not always easy to pick out a female motorcycle racer in the slew of bikes. If you’ve read my previous story on Joy Higa, I mentioned my background of being a turn worker for the American Federation of Motorcyclists (AFM). I also described how she was easy to spot in a sea of similar-colored bikes—the main indicator being her braided ponytail. At first,...

By that I mean advancements unique to motorcycle design have kept the motorcycle industry in near-constant forward motion, but adaptations of new and existing technologies alike from other industries have also powered motorcycle design itself forward. This is an exciting time to be a motorcyclist because now, more than ever, it's electronics that are revolutionizing motorcycle...
I Bought a Hipster Bike!
Date :April 16, 2015
For better or for worse, I bought a Hipster bike. This Hipster special is complete with rattle-can black wheels, upside-down Clubman bars that hit the gas tank on both sides, worn out brakes, open exhaust and pop-on air cleaners. It’s a vinyl-owner, kale-eatin’, Liberal’s wet dream and it’s now mine. Starting life as a 1976 Honda CJ360T, it has since lost its fenders, tail section, mirrors, handlebars and factory paint. “I got it at a good price, and I couldn’t pass it up,” is what I...
