This jacket from Denham combines style elements from a WWII field jacket and a vintage motorcycle jacket to create a modern hybrid jacket known as The Social. The jacket is constructed from British Millerain waxed canvas, but kept lightweight and comfortable with panels of softer military twill under the arms and at the back. The smart-looking jacket is intended to be a spring wardrobe staple, and we agree that this is a jacket that would be… Read More

We are back with a new selection of videos to tickle your fancy. These videos are not all from this week, but they all made us laugh or caused our jaws to drop recently. Enjoy! Extreme Unicycle X-TREME unicycle!  Generally, you can add “extreme” to anything to make it sound more badass, but it helps to be able to back it up.  Rider Max Schulze makes the argument that people that ride bikes with two wheels are sissies. Luchadore’s gone wild… Read More

Step away from the Hayabusa, hotshot. While most would-be motorcyclists are lured over to the two-wheeled dream by bikes from the MotoGP circuit, Easy Rider or the pages of Motorcyclist, reality must intervene. Piloting those beasts will take some experience. We would no sooner advise a novice rider to hop on a CBR1000RR than we would advise a teenage driver to hop in a Ferrari. But nobody wants to look like a dork tooling around on a decrepit… Read More

Moto Guzzi is sure to appease the Cafe Racer crowd with its gorgeous V7 Clubman Racer. The bike is powered by a 4 stroke 90° V-Twin and features a single-seat saddle,

Ducati built their new Multistrada 1200 to be one of the most versatile bikes you've ever ridden and then some. What they've done here is offer a riding mode that can be changed on the fly to adapt the suspension and braking system to a sport bike setting, touring mode, urban/commuter, or enduro/off-road with just one click. Power comes from a re-tooled version of the 1198 Testastretta Superbike engine delivering 150 horsepower in a… Read More

While car manufacturers are still trying to shoe-horn bricks full of lithium ion into an electric vehicle that can actually last for more than a trip to the grocery store and back, the guys at Zero Motorcycles have done away with the extra wheels, thrown practicality into the wind, and designed an electric motorcycle that will run around town all day on a single charge. Though the company’s popular Zero X dirtbike has been tearing… Read More
