Recent Demo Rides
So, what is a guy supposed to do on a shinny Saturday afternoon when his motorcycle has been sent to the bone yard by a careless driver? I could sit home and watch Youtube videos of prior rides, or, I could go out and ride other people’s motorcycles. I chose the 2nd option. My arm [...]
Road Test and Review: Honda Fury
I went to Al Lamb’s Honda in Dallas TX over the weekend to test ride some Honda motorcycles. One that I was really interested in riding was the Honda Fury. The Fury is a 1300cc factory chopper that came out in 2010. It is one cool looking motorcycle. The Fury has really clean lines, a [...]
Test Ride: Kawasaki Ninja 1000
One of the best things about the International Motorcycle Show is the demo rides. One of the bikes I got to ride at the 2010 show in Dallas, TX is the brand new Kawasaki Ninja 1000. At the time of the show the Ninja 1000 was not available yet in the dealers. So I was [...]

2010 Victory Cross Roads
One company that gives Harley a run for it’s money in domestic built cruisers is Victory. They build some great looking cruisers and one sit on a Victory will show you that these are well designed machines. One of my favorite bikes that Victory builds is the 2010 Victory Cross Roads. Look at the video, [...]
Yamaha Motorcycles: The V-Star 950
So, there’s another new cruiser on the market, and it’s powered by a V-Twin motor that doesn’t come close to setting new records in terms of size or power. Some may yawn. But that would be to ignore what’s currently happening in the motorcycle market. Cruisers continue to dominate, nearly doubling the sales total of [...]

Harley Davidson Quad ?…

2010 Harley Davidson Road Glide
One of my favorite Harleys on the road. This is one cool bike! Harley-Davidson kills its competition in the touring-cruiser marketplace, outselling all others by a huge margin. In fact, it hogs (pun intended) about 70% of the touring market with yearly sales over the past few years approaching the 100K mark. For the 2009 [...]

This has got to be one of the nicest looking cruisers on the market. Makes me want to go out and ride when I see something like this.

2010 Kawasaki Ninja 650r review
I currently ride a 2007 Ninja 650r. It has been a reliable, fun to ride motorcycle from the day I bought it. Kawasaki continues to improve on this great low priced motorcycle that is equally at home with a new rider or an experienced vet. It looks like for 2010 Kawasaki has continued to rest [...]
A new Sportster in the lineup
I have always liked the classic ruggedness of the Harley brand. After years of not riding, a Harley Davidson Sportster 1200c was my introduction back in to riding a few years ago. I liked my Sporty, it was a great bike. The one thing that sticks out at me about this new Sportster is the [...]
