Iconic Rides – 2024 Yamaha MT-09 SP
Earlier this year I had the pleasure of attending the press launch for the Yamaha MT-09 and I came away quite impressed with the updates – which included a philsophical change to make the rider’s triangle more aggressive. Well, Yamaha has just released the up-spec SP variant and I think the performance bump you get […]

Abhi’s First Race Weekend
Well, my first ever “proper” race weekend has come and gone – I raced the Laguna Seca round of AHRMA with two bikes: my CB175 in the Moto Le Mans class (more on that later) and my Kramer 690 in Sound of Singles 1. Here’s some footage from one of those races so you can […]

Story by Abhi Eswarappa Vanson Leathers is celebrating their 50th anniversary this year, and I’m ashamed to admit that I don’t know enough about their legendary company.

Iconic Collections – Guadalest Motorcycle Museum
The title of the museum tells you that there’s not just motorcycles here, but 2-wheelers comprise at least 90% of the contents in this small but tightly-packed building. It reminded me of the National Motorcycle Museum in the UK in that all the bikes are so close together that it’s tough to appreciate all the […]
Iconic Rides – 2024 Yamaha MT-09
Normally when a company does a mid-cycle refresh on a bike, you get some minor updates like a new dash or LED lighting. Yamaha made sure they took care of those but they also brought something bigger to the table: a philosophical shift in what the MT-09 should feel like. After a 110-mile ride with […]

Modobag®
Winner Update: Congrats to ccode46, who was selected in the drawing for this Modobag! Modobag® is the invention of Chicago entrepreneur and world traveler Kevin O’Donnell.
