REVIEW: The American Motorcycle Girls 1900-1950

Categories: Apparel & Product Reviews, Books and DVDs Reviews

I love books and Ive received many to review over the years, but the latest one Im reviewing is the first book in years Im really excited about, like over-the-moon excited. Why? Because its an incredibly well done and professional presentation of a topic Im passionate about (and I think you are, too) women riders and not just any women riders, but the ones who paved the way for the first 50 years of the 1900s.

READER MOTORCYCLE REVIEW: 2007 Buell Ulysses

Categories: Buell Motorcycle Reviews, Dual Sport Motorcycle Reviews, Sport Tourer Reviews, Your Reviews

The Buell motorcycles have come a long way since the late 1990s, from tubular frames to frames with the gas tank included in the design. Riding a Buell motorcycle is unique in that you are included in the Harley, BMW and metric sportbike crowd. Most of the models look like the metric sportbikes but are actually open standard motorcycles, with the exception of the new 1125R and the Buell Firebolt.

New Butt-Friendly Motorcycle Saddles

Categories: Apparel & Product Reviews, Seat Reviews

Not long ago Ultimate Seats founder Des Hockley was just like all his customers: a biker with a back ache. He was on intimate terms with “butt burn,” a common problem that is caused by flat or forward-angled seats. The design causes the rider to slip forward. As a result, riders constantly feel the need to pull themselves back into the saddle, and this puts pressure on muscles and skin.

One of these days you might get the itch to learn something about motorcycle/sidecar combinations. Maybe youve got children youd like to bring on the ride, but you refuse to risk their safety on the back of a two-wheeler. Maybe your vintage legs are getting a little wobbly and youre thinking about the stability of a three-wheeled motorcycle that doesnt fall down.

MOTORCYCLE REVIEW: Kawasaki Vulcan 1700 V-Twin Cruisers

Categories: Cruiser Reviews, Kawasaki Motorcycle Reviews, Motorcycle Reviews

Kawasaki unveiled its all-new, completely redesigned-for-2009 Vulcan 1700 family in sunny Mill Valley, California, which includes the Classic and the Classic LT (for long touring). The routes were among Bay Area riders favorites: backroads through golden hills and the redwood groves to the Pacific Coast Highway. But the chaparral-lined twisties from Stinson Beach to the top of Mount Tamalpias provided a demonstration of the Vulcans surprising grace and maneuverability.
