It’s sad to admit, perhaps, that when I’m done spending a day at the office attached to the Internet, I head home (tethered cell phone buzzing with emails) and often in the evening I sit down at the computer, again, to do what? Waste time on the Internet.http://www.motorcycle-usa.com/1/504/2/Motorcycle-Blog-Post/Superbike-Fantasy-Racing-Begins-This-Week.aspxhttp://www.motorcycle-usa.com/1/504/2/Motorcycle-Blog-Post/Superbike-Fantasy-Racing-Begins-This-Week.aspxTue, 23 Feb 2010 15:07:51 GMTBummed because you lost on your Olympic ice dancing wagers? Who isn’t? The Canadians came out of nowhere on their home turf to best the Russians, with their twizzles and fancy footwork. Amazing really. But now there’s that inevitable let down that comes at the end of the ice dancing season. Alas! How can you, dear reader, get your fix for thrilling, vicarious competition?http://www.motorcycle-usa.com/1/499/2/Motorcycle-Blog-Post/LeoVince-Movie-Night-USGP-Competition.aspxhttp://www.motorcycle-usa.com/1/499/2/Motorcycle-Blog-Post/LeoVince-Movie-Night-USGP-Competition.aspxFri, 19 Feb 2010 19:37:18 GMTMotorcycle filmmakers can get a shot at some exposure, and a free ticket to the Laguna Seca Red Bull U.S. Grand Prix, with the LeoVince Movie Night competition. Starting on February 15th, LeoVince invites would-be filmmakers to submit short films before its May 31st deadline.

If so, maybe you caught the Women’s Snowboard Cross last night. It’s one of those sports only followed during the Olympics. Unless you’re a devout snowboarder, which I’m not. http://www.motorcycle-usa.com/1/484/2/Motorcycle-Blog-Post/Supercross-Breasts-on-Display.aspxhttp://www.motorcycle-usa.com/1/484/2/Motorcycle-Blog-Post/Supercross-Breasts-on-Display.aspxThu, 11 Feb 2010 21:41:04 GMTCharitable breast displays. Those three words can conjure up so many different meanings… In this case, however, the breasts belong to Supercross announcers Erin Bates and Ashley Phillips, with the charity being the Keep A Breast Foundation. The SX announcing duo bared all for a pair of breast casts which Troy Lee Designs is painting up to be auctioned off for charity online from February 12-25.http://www.motorcycle-usa.com/1/483/2/Motorcycle-Blog-Post/Mladins-Latest-Twittering-Gem.aspxhttp://www.motorcycle-usa.com/1/483/2/Motorcycle-Blog-Post/Mladins-Latest-Twittering-Gem.aspxThu, 11 Feb 2010 00:38:34 GMTFans of Mat Mladin will miss the imposing Aussie’s presence on the racetrack in 2010. On the plus side, the seven-time AMA Superbike champ has been providing plenty of off-season fodder via Mladin's Twitter feed.http://www.motorcycle-usa.com/1/479/2/Motorcycle-Blog-Post/Disturbing-New-Driving-Trend-.aspxhttp://www.motorcycle-usa.com/1/479/2/Motorcycle-Blog-Post/Disturbing-New-Driving-Trend-.aspxTue, 09 Feb 2010 22:09:39 GMTMy first experience with Los Angeles traffic came five years ago. After about a week on the job, I made the 13-hour-plus drive from our Medford, Oregon HQ to LA for the first time. In a GMC van towing a 20-ft trailer filled with motorcycles, I rolled into LA about 2 a.m. with a list of addresses and no clue of how to get to them. The freeway was disturbingly barren even at that hour.http://www.motorcycle-usa.com/1/471/2/Motorcycle-Blog-Post/4-Bike-Cruiser-Shootout-Underway.aspxhttp://www.motorcycle-usa.com/1/471/2/Motorcycle-Blog-Post/4-Bike-Cruiser-Shootout-Underway.aspxWed, 03 Feb 2010 16:22:56 GMTDo you need V-Twins with monstrous displacement powering nearly a half ton of weight to ride a “real” cruiser?
