The faster it goes, the more Simon likes it. Cars, motorcycles, computers, rockets... it doesn't matter. He's an avid sim racer (it keeps him sane during Calgary's 6-month off-season) and is thinking it's time to upgrade his ride. Then again, isn't it always?

Tell us honestly, what’s the first thing that pops into your mind when you think of Finland? For hockey fans, it’s the home nation of some of their favorite hockey players and goaltenders. For music fans, especially metalheads, it is one of “The Big Three” of metal, alongside Germany and...

It’s something that we take for granted these days: that 99.9% of the jackets, gloves, pants, and boots we buy to ride in will have some form of CE Level 1 armor. We expect it at the heel and toe, over the ankles, and at the knees, elbows, and shoulders....

The past two years have seen something happen in the motorcycle market that hasn’t happened for a while: motorcycle sales went up, instead of continuing down slowly.

You can’t go far these days without hearing about electric motorcycles. It seems like every week there is a new announcement, a bit of concept design shown off, promises of a specific bike being “the motorcycle of the future.” This is all well and good, and as we know, competition...
Riding a motorcycle means something different to anyone that rides. Some ride to relax. Some ride because of the freedom...
For some riders, the thought of an automatic transmission is paramount to sacrilege. However, with electric bikes becoming more readily...
There’s nothing quite like a track day. We all know the bikes under us are capable of great speeds, exhilarating acceleration, and lean angles that would make a Michael Jackson “Smooth Criminal” dancer jealous. We also all know, or at least should know, that such things are not entirely legal,...

The name Honda has been synonymous with motorcycles since 1948 when Honda Soichiro formalized the Honda Technical Research Institute into the Honda Motor Company.

You know how it goes: your kid sees a YouTube video, streaming show, or live event involving ATV riding, and they are suddenly and completely hooked. You get them a starter ATV, you sign them up for an introduction to ATV riding course, and now you’re looking how best to...

It is a relevant fact that riding a motorcycle, by the very nature of it, is objectively more dangerous than driving a car. You have two small contact patches with the pavement instead of four larger ones, you are exposed to the elements instead of wrapped in metal and glass,...

As I ride a sport tourer, a 2012 Kawasaki Ninja 650, I have often focused more on the tourer part of the equation. This is probably through the combination that I’m still relatively new to the riding world as a whole, and that I am still gaining confidence slowly but...

With the exceptionally hot temperatures that ravaged the Pacific Northwest of the USA and pretty much all of Western Canada during the month of July 2021, having hot-weather-appropriate riding gear turned from being a nice thing to an absolute necessity. While I do have my Icon Super-Duty II gloves, they...
