    No matter how many motorcycles you've owned, a few are bound to stand out. Which ones do you regret selling? Which ones taught you something useful? Which ones scared the piss out of you? In other words, which ones changed your life? Here's my list.

    I’m no kid. I’m 49 years old. Yes that’s right, 49. No matter how much I deny it, I’m old. So why do I feel like a kid every time I swing a leg over a motorcycle?

  • The Lookout Roadhouse is a must-visit if you are in southern California -- great views, food, and like-minded company.

  • Like the Lookout Roadhouse, Alice’s Restaurant, and The Rock Store, Cook’s Corner is a California roadhouse legend.

  • On a bright sunny Saturday morning the MotorcycleSmack.com editors got
    to sample the new Ducati Hypermotard. The Hypermotard either creates
    a new genre of streetbikes, or redefines the word "sportbike", depending
    on your point of view.

  • A wide variety of bikes were seen at the Long Beach Swap Meet.

  • One of the most interesting parts of Burning Man, at least for this gearhead, is the wacky collection of vehicles. Not your basic choppers or streetfighters...oh no, those would be far too normal for a Burner (as many participants call themselves). Just like in the “default world”, all motorized vehicles must pass inspection by the DMV before they can be operated on the “playa” surface.

  • For die-hard motorcycle roadracing fans, a trip to the Isle of Man TT races is an absolute must-do. No other race in the U.S., or even the world, quite matches the experience of seeing the TT in person.
