MotoCzysz - The American Motorcycle 2008-03-26 02:06:04 The term ‘AmericanMotorcycle

Hot Rod Pinups II - Book Preview 2008-04-06 02:48:13 Instead of working on my projects in the garage, MyRideisMe has me spending most of my free time on the web, working, or sometimes just surfing.

1969 Chevelle After two decades…. 2008-04-10 14:43:25 …things are bound to change. Just about 20 years have passed (we’re about a month-and-a-half shy) since this photo was taken:

Three Serial #1 Corvettes at Auction 2008-04-17 01:38:53 I dig auctions. The easy part to figure out is that it’s a great place to see a CRAZY-good variety of cars with most of them in unreal condition, but there’s something else too. I dig seeing guys who can afford to buy them! Some of that’s jealousy, sure, but it creates [...] Read more:Three

It’s Official: BMW Superbike 2008-04-20 17:47:21 On April 16 Hendrik von Kuenheim announced that BMW will be building enough S1000RR’s for homologation into World Superbike. He did not mention too much about the machine, except what is obvious. It’s an inline 4, chain drive with front forks rather than any kind of superduperparatelepythagorian-lever design that they have developed.
There is no telling [...] Read more:Official

Friday Night Cruise-in - Chandler, AZ 2008-05-06 00:36:35 It takes a while for a cruise in to catch on, but that doesn’t mean while it’s growing you won’t see some super nice cars. Plus, when it’s new, you won’t hear the old… “Hey, I’m saving that spot…” or “This is for XYZ cars only…” Whatever.

The Wave 2008-05-08 15:41:17 I’ve heard lots of people talking about “biker waves” lately and had a little fun cruising around Al Gore’s Internet invention looking for stuff about waving.
For you 4 wheel guys, bikers wave or nod at each other. Out on the open road, practically every rider will wave at each other. In the city, you don’t [...]

Pinto Power at it again! Hydroplane Racing 2008-05-20 01:27:02 It's no wonder there are a ton of 2.3 engines out there making power. They're one of the top engines for Ministock racing, we knew that, and there's a few companies making go-fast parts for them like Esslinger and Racer Walsh. We've even got a near fanatical following for the turbo 2.3's over at turboford.org. But, I had no idea folks like Custom valve cover for 2.3L FordDennis Wright were racing Read more:Pinto

510 Cubic Reasons to Dig this Studebaker 2008-06-02 01:26:28 The first thing that jumps out of this bad Stude is the engine. How's 510 cubic inches for ya? If it was only a blown Chevy big block, that'd be cool, but this engine's from Kevin's Super Eliminator and Advanced E.T. At NHRA events it ran 6.70's! A sub 7 second E.T. digger that's been his passion for years suddenly lost sponsorship and went down the road. The engine's electronic fuel injection wil Read more:Reasons
Pavlov’s Ride 2008-06-04 10:27:58 There is nothing reasonable about riding a high powered sportbike on the street. They can break every speed limit in the country. . . in first gear. Unless you are way past those speed limits you won’t even use the edges of your tire. However, millions of these bikes are sold every year.
