In Spa getting back to business means eating Belgian frites!

Not only are Belgian frites delicious, they also are effective at easing tensions between people.

As we climbed up towards Oregon amongst empty landscape and beautiful scenery a sudden glance in the rear view mirror revealed a large blue car covered with flashing lights.

We stop for a restroom break and a coffee in a tiny town called Denio which straddles the Nevada-Oregon border.

Things got really bleak and empty with no sign of any human habitation. If you ever want a truly epic ride you don’t have to go to the end of the earth - just get a full tank of gas at Denio and head out into the mountains.

The Ducati Multistrada sure is dreamy, but it's difficult to make sense of paying more when you can get a bike like the V-Strom for around $13,000 less.

While the Ducati Multistrada is the better motorcycle of the two, the V-Strom's price makes up for what it lacks.

While the V-Strom was originally thought to be an "85% Bike," it has surpassed expectations and has since moved into the 90+ percentile range.

The V-Strom also has the ability to effortlessly cruise at high speeds - something which can get a rider into a lot of trouble.

One added luxury is the ability to store two helmets in the V-Strom's extra-large top box.

MotoGP riders dressing up like astronauts? No, that would never happen!

As predicted, many MotoGP riders are beginning to use up their six allotted engines way too soon in the season.

Repsol Honda is one of the few teams which seem to be safe under these new regulations, with Rizla Suzuki, Pramac Ducati and even Jorge Lorenzo struggling to meet the new rules.

Along with the new engine rules, Dorna is already violating its own requirments which state that a minimum of 18 starters are needed in each race.

Even though the original plan was to pull in after a few laps, the G.50 was running perfectly and before I knew it I was passing people.

We entered the event at the Anglesey race circuit with the intention of playing with the most beautiful race bike in the world - a 1962 G.50.

All of the top-three finishers, including myself, desperately clung to their champagne as a validation of their success.

I recently competed in the British Classic Championship race and finished on the podium in third.

Spectators are close to the action but how close is too close and not to mention there isn't much between the 80mph rider and you.

It would be awfully hard to push start a bike while wearing high heels. No, this babe is in need of a makeover!

Ruthie may be a thing of beauty to look at, but how well can she assist with rebuilding an engine?

Bianca may be in need of a wardrobe change after getting that white bikini covered in grease.

In order to up the sex appeal of MCUSA's pin-up girls, it's time we show these beauties getting down and dirty with the tools of the trade.

And yes, that does mean you!

Epic Lorenzo Rossi race made all the pain worth while.

Even rossi fans struggle to afford the merchandise.

Getting back from the track was a challenge.

Portugeuse parking was very creative.

Umbrella girls were automatically entered into the wet t-shirt competition.

If only being an expert traveler would it get you on the plane any faster.

When Frank Melling referred to the Brutale as sharing resemblance to a warm water herbivore he knew he crossed a line.

It seems our vintage expert mis-interpreted low-mileage, pre-owned Brutales for unwanted hunks of metal. However, Frank now knows the true value of such a hidden gem.
