Over the years, many a song has come and gone that has spoken to the free-wheelin’ whims of popular motorcycle culture. We found a great article that highlighted 10 fantastic songs that really brought out some fantastic elements of motorcycle riding. The passion, the interest, and the sheer candidness of the sport is what keeps us all riding. Oh, and it’s a lot of fun too….
This is part one of a three part guide. Before you read any further, know this: there is absolutely no replacement for getting on a motorcycle and learning through experience. No, I am not saying that you need to hop on your bike and go for a ride down the highway. What I am saying [...]
Just FYI to everyone who checks out BeginnerMotorcycleReviews.com that a redesign is happening this week. This means that certain functions may not work properly until we get things ironed out, and there may be a period of time where things look/appear funny and/or don’t work at all.

The term counter-steering means different things to different people. Before I started to ride motorcycles, it meant turning the wheel the the same way the rear of the car was going in order to recover from a skid. On a motorcycle, the term is used to describe how to initiate a turn.

The second installment in our summary of the 2010 Calgary Motorcycle Show. Three more bikes are showcased for your enjoyment.
Watch for some more reviews later this year when Calgary finally gets some decent weather!
The Calgary motorcycle show was a few weeks ago, but I’ve been so crazy busy that I never had a chance to post some of the pics that I took. There were a ton of really excellent motorcycles on display this year, including some new BMW’s that really got the crowd excited (197 horsepower will do that to people).
