December 31, 2011 – 1:17 pm

Another prospective Indian Motorcycle dealership has bitten the proverbial dust. Why is it that the best looking, once best performing and clearly the most historically awesome motorcycle company in the history of these United States can’t get it right?

Warehouse? There, House…Indoor Motorcycle Racing

December 30, 2011 – 5:01 pm

A group of obviously deranged motorcyclists get together once a week for debauchery – and racing action – in an empty warehouse.

December 30, 2011 – 1:26 pm

December 29, 2011 – 1:11 pm

He was, in short, the coolest Hollywood type to ever ride a bike, and it’s that sort of real wrench-monkey cachet that led a collector to lay down nearly a million dollars for a racing suit once owned by the legendary actor and gearhead, Steve McQueen. Okay, a million dollars seems like a lot to [...]

If you love motorcycles, it’s a pretty safe bet that there are a couple of models you’d like to have in your collection. It’s also a safe bet that Gerald A. Doering and his son, Ted, have a couple of those bikes in their collection. The proof is spread across the 85,000 square feet of [...]
