We were under the impression that perfection could not be improved upon - which is why we're not engineers at Ducati. Ducati took the already drool-worthy 848 to the next level with the Superbike 848 Evo with a slew of modifications that definitely inflate the bottom line and make it a more impressive investment.

With gas prices hovering somewhere between "high" and "holy %&$ that's expensive", more people than ever are commuting to work on two wheels rather than four. Trek's Gary Fisher Gritty Commuter bike is a great set of (two) wheels for this switch. Simple single-speed, hybrid tires, a distinctively un-hipster look ... continue reading
Bicycles are admirable inventions: simple, supremely efficient, and graceful.

There are a few universal facts we all know: the sun rises in the east, things fall towards the center of the earth, Indiana Jones 4 was the cinematic equivalent of being beaten with a chain, etcetera etcetera. Also on that list is the fact that bicycles are the most awkward of shapes, and subsequently are a total ... continue reading

But if you're bound and determined to emulate Dr. Jones the Ural Patrol T Sidecar Motorcycle is the best option you've got. The fact it's only got 40hp and a 749cc engine is overshadowed by it's ... continue reading

A man with something that women will be lining up to ride. If you're riding the Ecosse Moto Works Heretic you better clear your calendar ... continue reading
If you believe the gossip at your local Starbucks, owning a bulbous yet somehow flat-assed hybrid makes you green.

Velo: ... continue reading

It seems we may have been a little hasty when we posted our list of 15 Motorcycles To Make You A Man. Unlike certain unnamed politicians, we're not above admitting that there is most to the story. In this case, it comes in the form of the Ducati Superbike 1198 R Corse Special Edition - a bike that has a list of impressive ... continue reading
Do it yourself generally results in one of two things: a trip to the dumpster or calling a professional. But every once in a while something (like your kegerator) gets created that will make other men shed a tear or two of joy (but only on the inside).
