#stunts

If you’re finding that as you get older your body is less inclined to ride long distances, maybe a little motorcycle yoga is just what the doctor ordered. Chances are most of us won’t look quite this good while doing it hey, it’s something to shoot for.

As near as we can tell, this guy must have thought he was going over backwards and tapped the rear break to bring the nose down.  It worked!  His passenger will probably make him ride on the bars the next time.

We love seeing the next generation of the sport and applaud parents who are raising their kids to enjoy riding motorcycles. This little guy’s parents are getting him started with stunts early and that’s pretty cool!

For this week’s video, we congratulate newlyweds Bruce and Andrea Tuia on their nuptials. The two lovebirds are part of the West Coast Connection stunt riding team, so naturally, motorcycles played a big role in their wedding celebrations.

Not to disparage India’s Border Security Force (BSF) or the country’s national bird, but what is this peacockery? In news reports of Barack Obama attending India’s annual Republic Day parade, I repeatedly heard or read terminology such as “daredevil stunts,” and “dare-devilish manoeuvres.” These descriptions were in regards to the motorcycle performances during the parade by the Janbaz that can more appropriately be described as an elaborately dressed motorcycle drill team demonstration.

In the pantheon of American motorcycle badasses, sitting high amongst the crowd are Steve McQueen and Evel Knievel. In 2006, our very own Gabe Ets-Hokin and Pete Brissette set out to pay homage to the two legends, riding the marques that McQueen and Knievel are most associated with. So for this week’s Church feature we revisit the McQueen vs. Knievel Road Test, pitting the Triumph Scrambler against the Harley-Davidson Sportster. The test location was special as well: San Francisco, a city both men have a connection to, as the story goes on to explain. Read on to see the antics Gabe and Pete got themselves into in their quest to emulate two of America’s motorcycling icons.

We’ve seen a lot of motorcycle stunt riding videos out there, but scooter stunters are relatively rare. And few are as good as Japanese rider Masaru Abe, the star of this week’s video.
