Going to open war

I can’t think of a worst war vehicle than a motorcycle. The rider is absolutely exposed and they are dangerous even when not being shot. But motorcycles had their say in big armed conflicts and I can only feel admiration for those riders

Vulcan 2000

The Vulcan 2000 appeared in 2,004 as the falgship of Kawasaki's cruiser market. On a bold move to get over Harley Davidson, Kawasaki developed the biggest V-Twin engine up to that date. They also appeared with the biggest displacement mass produced bike. But the titles were, perhaps, too big for the years to come.

Triumph soon appeared to get on the Vulcan by issuing the impressive Rocket III, whose 2,300cc diminished the 2,054cc that the Vulcan sports. Harley Davidson was getting smaller comparing to its rivals, but only in engine size. The Vulcan soon capted the attention of many, that, instead of watching its limitations, went forward for a bike that was one of a kind. It has one of the most powerful powerplant ever on a cruiser, and they did well on sales and on name.

Howerver, the Vulcan is too big for matters such as fuel conssumption and maintenance, and so it seems we've reached a point in which much bigger, is not neccesarily better. Kawasaki did a good move by making the new Vulcan 1700 its flagship. It seems to be a much better balanced bike, and no one would deny seventeen hundred is big. So, as something expected, and at least in Europe's market -don't know about others- the Vulcan 2000 does not have a place in 2012's lineup for Kawasaki. It's understandable, but sad, that one of the coolest bikes ever, is now getting closer to extinction.

So, hopefully this humble tribute to this amazing bike is making a bit of justice to its short life. Moves like this are perfectly understandable for brands struggling to survive, but are always sad for bikers who have always wanted to get one, one day...

Harley Sportster

 A Sportster is  more than a just a bike, it's an institution nowadays. One of the oldest models still in production, not only for Harley Davidson but of the history, it's a bike that has gained a lot of respect and disrespect at the same time. Most people would say that this is a girls' bike or a starting point into the cruiser world, while others define them as the ride of their lives. No need to say it's a beautiful bike and being one of the lightest and cheapest from Harley's catalogue makes everything possible; from heary old bikers to girls riding for the first time. However, if this bike has lasted so long there must be something good about it don't ya think?

 The sportsters shown here are customized. The Harley Davidson Sportster is one of the most customized bike ever as it makes great choppers, bobbers, old school, new school and whatever shit you wanna do with it. From a dirt track bike to a moving sculpture this frame offers you everything.

 But as usual, no bike is better or worse than other... decide your ride according to the way you ride and not only because of the look or the engine numbers. That's how you'll enjoy it!

Old Indian, fours cylinders????

Indian has done several attemps to improve their bikes on the past, one examples is this one on the picture. Many manufacturers have had to go through difficult decisions and different machines that can be seen as weird nowadays.

October thoughts

Here I am! Rock U like a hurricane!

Life is never easy, and life is never good to anyone; we already know that don't we? but we always go back to the basis, nobody can ever change, and nobody can ever deny his or her thoughts. We sometimes feel down, or we sometimes don't have anything to say, but we can always see and hear somebody else's staff.

Because we sometimes don't have the time, the money or the possibility... but even when your bike is left in the garage, or you just can't afford a moped but you feel like the badass you really are, motorcycles is a passion, a way of life, which is demanding, but also giving.

Read, see, watch, listen and even shit motorbikes... and gals
