The Sights of the Lorem Ipsum rally in Viroqua

Yeah, man, we were there.

Buell and another comeback? Say what?

Yep, read it here - not first, probably second - via the Beer-town Journal-Sentinel. And Polaris looking for possible sport-bike world buy in? Say what double what? Hmmmm. Strange things are afoot in East Troy.

A peek at some British Iron at the British Biker Cooperative rally

This past weekend at Eagle Cave Campground, Blue River, Wis. Shared a campsite with Jim and Mark, two old-school Triumph guys who provided a shit-ton of knowledge about some very cool vintage bikes. How cool was that? Very.

Waldo my ass; Where's Christian?

Follow our intrepid motorcyclist as he makes his way out west via SpotWalla.  And that's all I have to say about that.

It's getting mighty dirt bikey out there....

Someone just landed a new Honda 250 enduro bike. Looky, it's been stickered up already.

It's a dangerous world out there, especially on two wheels.

Two hours crashes and lots of  'em.  Watch yer six.

Where are they now?

No, this is not some "People" magazine child-star retrospective article about a bunch of 70s and 80s child actors who are all methed-out and living in the trailer park in Laughlin, Nevada. No sir, man, this is important stuff right here. Go to the link and see where your favorite Ironbutt Rally rider is now located.

Dirt drag racing ... Who knew?

Say it ain't so, Burt

Burt Shavitz, of Burt's Bees fame, has passed away. He was a BMW guy and if recent memory serves me right, the BMW Owner's Club of America did a recent profile of Burt in it's wonderful magazine. So long, Burt and have a nice ride.

Yo, Happy Merry July 4....

I tried to find a good image of a dude lighting a bottle rocket from his ass, but I found this instead. Far more pleasing. Now, quit looking at this stoopid stuff and go grill some hotdogs. And remember to give a nod to the bad asses that founded this country, too.

Dang cool travel blog....

This guy is on a cross country and back again motorcycle ride. And he takes time to take in the local scenes. You photo guys will like it, too.
