Biker alleges Dallas Sheriff Deputy made up charge to seize video evidence

If this doesn't get you all hyped up and pissed, then you must have a very high tolerance for injustice.

On Memorial Day Weekend, motorcycle rider Chris Moore was arrested by Dallas Deputy Sheriff James Westbrook. The arrest was part of crackdown against sport bike riders. Moore says Westbrook made up a charge in order to gain access to the video camera mounted on his helmet.

What's the deal with Cafe Racers?

Perhaps you know exactly what the deal is, or perhaps you've only heard vague references to a cafe racer.  Or perhaps you have no idea what that is and somehow picture men wearing racing uniforms, scarves and goggles sitting inside giant teacups with steering wheels racing down the streets of Paris.  Okay, maybe that's not far off. 

A friend of mine has a new project of turning her newly acquired Honda CB into the cafe racer style. 
Here's a video about vintage Cafe Racers:

In remembrance of the 68th anniversary of D-Day

Here is a video of WW2 motorcycles on a D-Day tour a few years ago.

Come on, admit it

This is part of the reason why you wanted to ride a motorcycle.

Good ol' Arnold Schwarzenegger riding the Harley-Davidson Fat Boy in Terminator 2: Judgement Day with Edward Furlong as John Connor on the dirt bike.

'73 Shovel, gotta love that lope

It's like music to the ears.

DP Customs have finished another winner

The brothers that make up DP Custom Cycles have finished their latest masterpiece, chiseling out a bike they call DEFENSOR with a color scheme inspired from one of their heroes, Ayrton Senna. The base for this project was a 1982 Harley-Davidson Ironhead Sportster.

Posting today on the HD Forums and on their Facebook page, they have provided some scrumptious photos. All of their work, in my humble opinion, is worth salivating over.

1934 BMW R7 prototype

Over 70 years ago this concept motorcycle from BMW designer and engineer Alfred Böning was born. Unfortunately for the rest of the world, this concept was not put into production due to its apparent high-cost.

Besides its outward beauty, the R7 sported an 800c boxer engine that was ahead of it's time with a forged, single piece crankshaft.  Also notice the shifter with its H pattern.  

Thankfully for us to even know about this forgotten beauty, it was discovered crated up in 2005.
Severely rusted and corroded, it took a whole team of wizards to bring it back to life, rebuilding the frame, motor, transmission and body. The pictures that we now have, must be what it looked like when brand new, over 70 years ago.
