The world is getting more and more paranoid about safety for children.  Sure, this can be a good thing in some aspects but in others it’s just ridiculous. In America, the Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act became a law which allowed congress to ban products that could be harmful due to traces of lead found […]

Motorcycle racing crashes.  It’s hard not to wince when watching a rider go down and slide a few yards on his side into a wall. Superbike World Championship 2009 is currently in progress and SBK has been posting a few highlight videos on their YouTube channel. Check out the SBK crash montage in the rest […]

Hilarity ensues. James Toseland works the mail room, while Colin Edwards does security, quoting Eric Cartman […]

Our sister site, ATV.com, is ready to give away the Yamaha Raptor ATV they’ve been customizing over the last few weeks. They took a base Yamaha Raptor 250 valued at $4,499.00 and modified it into an $8,000 beast!  Why they just don’t keep it in the office to use for coffee runs is beyond me. […]

Motorcycle.com keeps churning out the online tools to help you, the motorcycle community out. This time they’ve released their free online motorcycle price quote tool that can get you quotes on bikes directly from motorcycle dealers. Dang!
