There was a time . . .
Tuesday, May 6th, 2008. . . when I didn’t like Harley Davidson motorcycles. I think it had to do with the fact that I got my first motorcycle in 1987. This was not exactly a high point in Harley motorcycle history. They were on the upswing, though, after the AMF days.
From Wikipedia:
In 1969, American Machinery and Foundry (AMF) […]
Motorcycle thoughts
Monday, March 24th, 2008 So with gas prices what they are, I’ve been trying to minimize the miles driven in my BMW (at 17 mpg).
My bike, a 1982 Yamaha 650 Maxim, gets about 45 mpg, but it’s old and ugly.
I drive 74 miles round trip to work, so I’ve been looking at new (cheap) bikes. Which brings me […]
Other cool motorcycle concepts
Wednesday, February 6th, 2008A couple of weeks ago I wrote about the CB1100F concept bike at the 2007 Tokyo Motor Show. After a bit more poking around the Motor Show website, I came across these bikes.
Suzuki GSX1400 Special Edition
Yamaha XS-V1 Sakura
I love them both. No word on when or if either of these will enter production.
Which is […]
Honda must be listening? CB1100F is a go!
Monday, February 4th, 2008According to the good fellows at Jalopnik, the CB1100F will be in Honda showrooms as early as next year.
Where do I send my deposit?
Note to Honda: Please sell me a new CB1100F.

At last year’s Tokyo Motor Show, Honda showed off a concept bike with a decidedly retro theme.
Engrish description from the Motor Show website:
CB1100F is also developed with a pursuit of “Honda’s attractiveness.” For this model, “Honda-like” refers to air-cooled, 4 stroke, DOHC, in-line 4 engine. With an assimilation of tradition and advanced technologies, […]
If gasoline were sold like beer
Friday, October 12th, 2007 Do you really know how much gas you use? Sure, you look at the pump occasionally when you fill up and see that you put 16 gallons in, but do you ever really think about how much that is?
You would if gas were sold like beer, in 12 ounce cans.
In my 1991 BMW 750iL, […]
My first motorcycle, and all the others
Wednesday, August 29th, 2007The Summer I turned 14, my uncle got a used motorcycle. This wouldn’t be notable except that he lived about a quarter mile from me, and he said I could ride it anytime I wanted to.
As it turned out I wanted to a lot. Like every day.
The bike was a 1978 Honda CB400T […]
