Once again here in the upper midwest, we are in the middle of another "Snowpocalypse", which really makes a long winter even longer. About the only thing you can do is dream of riding, watch youtube video about new exhaust, and read the best V-Twin motorcycle blog on the planet. As I have written in the past I use the winter months to plan rides, trips and think about what motorcycle
Happy belated New Year to everyone! 2018 was definitely an interesting year for the American motorcycle industry. We lost my favorite motorcycle blogger Cyril Huze to cancer, we saw Harley-Davidson and Indian Motorcycle Company come out with power cruisers, and we also saw Travis Pastrana replicate three of the iconic Evel Knievel's famous jumps in one day. The V twin Blog also saw a transformation in 2018. As promised there
Last year I tried something a little different, I did a prediction post. I really enjoyed writing that post and the response to the post was very positive so back by popular demand...The 2019 Motorcycle Prediction post!

The $29,799 price tag will draw criticism but the
I was once again given the opportunity be the folks at Sena to test out and review one of their Bluetooth enabled helmets, the Sena Momentum Full Face Helmet.

1. Check your battery One of the biggest problems a motorcycle will face after a long winter is a dead battery. If you haven’t already, get your battery onto a trickle charger. Check the fluid levels and give it a slow charge. If you aren’t getting any juice, you may have to suck it up and buy a new battery. Better to take care of that now instead of missing
Harley-Davidson just released their 2017 fourth quarter results and things don't look great, sales are down on heavy-weight cruisers and touring motorcycles and HD is struggling to bring in new riders. "The continued weakness in the U.S. motorcycle industry only heightens our resolve and the intensity we are bringing to the quest to build the next generation of Harley-Davidson riders," CEO Matt Levatich said in a statement. New motorcycle registrations dropped 14.1% in 2017
We are now in the cold grips of winter and I have personally already read through my stockpile of motorcycle magazines, blown through the drive of motorcycle movies I've saved, even mapped out a few trips and rides for the upcoming riding season. It's already been a long winter. So I decided to do something a little different and take all the news and information I've gathered throughout 2017 and
