Well now you can! Speedway racing is in the heart of Vegas. Brought to life by Gene Woods a former speedway racer himself. Speedway racing is very popular in Europe and is slowly catching on here. So Gene Woods felt that there needed to be a venue to cater to the growing need. People would always say that Las Vegas Speedway was too far out of town. So his thought was to just put the speedway right in the middle of town and that is just what he did. Sin City Speedway held it’s first event Oct 22 as part Read More>>>
We all love to watch the show that has been made famous from a couple of guys that love to build stuff and blow it up. I am talking about Mythbusters on Discovery Channel. Well recently they were given the myth of do motorcycles pollute more than automobiles. So they put it to the test. They proved that motorcycles are more of the cause of pollution than cars. This is because the regulations for cars have been monitored highly over the past several years where motorcycles have not been held to the same standards. Here is the Aftershow video from Read More>>>

I came across this and just had to pass it on. I guess if you are really hard up for money and want to customize your bike you will always find a way to do it. Even if it isn’t the coolest thing. I have come to the conclusion that people will try almost anything. So this is a bike that someone bought toolboxes and actually made a mount / rack to put them on his bike. The components for this setup for about $20, pair of standard toolboxes, some hose clamps to attach it to the motorcycle, old refrigerator Read More>>>
When it comes to motorcycle insurance it can be somewhat difficult. There are some companies that don’t insure motorcycles at all. Then there are the companies that don’t insure custom or customized motorcycles. The amount of insurance you should have is the amount that the motorcycle is worth. There is a difference between standard motorcycle insurance and custom motorcycle insurance. What they mean by standard is a policy that is designed to cover street bikes, and it often only covers replacement costs, and loss of transportation. A good place to check the value of a street bike is Kelley Blue Read More>>>

This came across my email the other day, I don’t know where it came from or who wrote it but I think it is something that could be passed around. If there ever was a written code this should be part of it. It used to be that all bikers shared a common bond, an unspoken code of ethics and behavior that transcended words and was built on actions. There was never a bible written on this Biker’s Code and there was no need for such. But the times are a-changin’ and there seems to be a lot of new Read More>>>
