Riding in the hottest of summers...

You may have notices we are in summer time now, gals are wearing bikinis and it's bloody hot. When we ride in summer we tend to take some of our apparel out in order to avoid heat. The fact is that the gear a biker uses is mainly conceived to protect, and then for weather isolation.

If you take out your leather jacket just because it's too hot you presume a leather jacket is designed for cold weather, but motorcycling gear is not for riding... but for falling down.

Do you really think you'll get less damage on your body just because it's hot! Wear your brain and let it work and if after that you still want to leave your protecting gear then why don't you hung yourself? it's faster.

The new Honda

If there's a Honda cruiser that has gained the love of everyone that's probably the Shadow. Due to its great results and better prizing this bike has been the option of many who wished to get on the cruiser market without being rich. Now they've used the same engine to create the following machine, the Honda VT750, which seems better for heavy traffic and high speed cornering with a slimmer frame and less weight.

It sporsts a 750cc engine and with this new design it looks more capable to deal with heavy traffic or corners at a bigger speed than the old Shadow. While Honda presents the 1300cc range in America (from which we can only have the Honda Fury) here they show a smaller engine that seems to go better with european style.

From my point of view, this bike has to be great but it looks pretty much like a sportster don't ya think?

Sanctuary


We all need places to scape when we want to be lonely, this is mine and I won't tell anybody where it is. Everytime I ride there life changes and time stops. It's my red mountain.

1948 Triumph catalogue. Wouldn't you buy any of these bikes from then?

That ain't a bike baby; it's a chopper

History of the Road King. A Harley Davidson legend

Few bikes are more recognisable than a Harley Davidson Road King. The esence of all baggers nowadays capable of long haul trips anywhere with a great style and a typical Harley performance.

The model started back in 1993 by a redesign of the FL series.  The retro look that it has, similar to the Fat Boy's appereance, makes it an exremely tasty bike which has become a legend so far. Even though the model is not very old, by using the basis of the more classical bikes that Harley has they created this beautiful and mean machine you wouldn't be surprised to find on an Al Capone film.

It also claim to be the best option for durability as some of them have been seen to make some dozens of thounsands miles without any serious problems. Wanna travel? Think of this bike.

However, other riders say that the bike it's too heavy and that it doesn't permform as good as a jap bike would. These are the typical Harley handicaps but who cares when you're riding the coolest bike! There are performance bikes that you can choose.
