In my opinion all custom bikes should be built to be ridden, “show only” bikes really don’t count as far as I am concerned. I have posted images of the Bott XR-1 before and it sure did look like a custom that was made to perform, the latest images from Bottpower confirm that theory. Not only have they released a video of the bike being thrown around track there is also a series …continue…
This video goes to show that you don’t need a big shed to create some amazing things. I love the fact that each engine is built one at a time, truly handbuilt with not a production line in sight.
I have posted quite a few videos recently of the Isle of Man TT but this most recent documentary would have to be the best. Its a brilliant insight into the TT and goes some way to conveying what it must be like to take on the mountain circuit for the first time – mind blowing stuff.
Watch this incredible video and you will understand why Casey Stoner is such a legend, laying a black line on the ripple strip through one of the fastest corners at Phillip Island. Casey, we will miss you…
Guy Coulon is the technical genius behind much of the Tech3 MotoGP team. He is currently Andrea Dovisioso’s crew chief and has been the mastermind behind the Tech3 Moto2 bike. So what does a guy with all these skills do in his spare time? He builds a 300cc 6 cylinder one off prototype race bike!

The latest set he has posted is a great series of Vintage Enduro images, I have shared a few of my favourites here but please be sure to …continue…

This is a killer short film about speedway, immensly good stuff- watch it NOW!
Pikes Peak has been run and won for another year, again the Ducati Multistrada’s took the crown as the fastest bikes up the 12.42 mile hill climb. This video from Greg Tracy’s hemet cam gives some insight into jsut how commited the top guys are, using all the road and genuinly riding on the limit. Pretty terrifying stuff… This run was good enough for second place, Tracy’s team-mate Carlin Dunn …continue…
Last week saw the running of Speedweek on the Bonneville Salt Flats, every year I get drawn into reading about this event, scrolling my way through endless images and wishing I was there… I came across this video and although its not directly related to racing at the 2012 event it is still a great clip and well worth a watch. The Gyronaut X1 is a pretty special motorcycle, the …continue…
