Inspirational females in the motorcycle world
2007-11-05 12:41:00 The latest contest from Harley-Davidson got me thinking: who are some female riders who have inspired me?

Halloween has come and gone.
2007-11-02 18:20:00 It’s probably not a big surprise that Halloween is one of my favorite times of the year, especially when I live in Spookytown itself-Salem, Massachusetts.

Harley Davidson has the best ads.
2007-10-18 16:55:00 I believe I’ve mentioned that my line of work is in advertising, whether I like it or not. It pays the bills. Because of this fact I can’t help but to notice and give credit when I see really good ads.

BikerorNot.com: bikers and social networking pt. deux

Biker Alley magazine: geared toward women riders
2007-10-12 21:38:00 I’ve known about a lot of different women-only motorcycle publications that have tried to succeed and sadly have failed. The latest magazine that I just found is Biker Alley. I’m actually surprised that I haven’t heard of this magazine sooner since, impressively, it’s been around since 2000. They publish six issues a year for $19.50 (if ...

Video Tuesday: Big Dog Motorcycles
2007-10-02 20:58:00 One of the things I love about “biker culture” is the twisted sense of humor and the ability to look at ourselves and laugh.

Fleeting ride time and opportunities?
2007-09-17 23:24:00 This weekend was the first time that the feeling of fall was evident.
