This is pretty awesome, even if it is a year old. Beautiful bikes here. Makes me want to get out and ride.
The Arch founders put the first production examples of the KRGT-1 through the paces in Los Angeles. Available September 4, 2014. Stay tuned to archmotorcycle.com for details.
The owner, Michelle Dell, says she can’t pay $60k in rent and continue charging $3 for beer. He is allegedly being forced out of the bar by landlord Thor Equities. They want to raise the rent by $14.000 monthly, which would be a total of $60.000 a month, which is close to quarter a million a year.
Given the fact this is not a bar that sells $12 beers and $15 margaritas, Michelle has to go out of business.
Nothing worse than losing historical eateries and bars with what we can only assume will be “trendier” replacements. But not to worry, Hogs and Heifers is keeping all the bras that made the bar so…well…”historical.”

Kevin Matthews took to Facebook asking that Bikers ride in solidarity out of respect for the fallen military servicemen, but even he had no idea how amazing the turnout would be!
There is nothing more ‘feel good’ than when our bikers show support for our military. They rode alongside where 5 servicemen were killed without reason. Check out the video and hear from many of the bikers who took to the streets of Chattanooga to make a difference and show support!

Road rage can be out of control sometimes. Check out this cager and the way he attacks a motorcyclist for lane-splitting.
The rider says he saw a lady in front of him texting while driving, which made him not feel safe, so he decided to lane-split. This didn’t make the truck driver happy at all!
Check out the video!
When it comes to red lights and bikers, well, they don’t always mix that well. Motorcycles aren’t heavy or robust enough to always trigger light changes, amounting to a load of frivolous time wasted for bikers (and those behind them) sitting at red lights.
Obviously, many bikers wait until appropriate moments and carefully go ahead, but the law has always upheld that to be illegal. Sensors look for vehicle weight or metal and motorcycles aren’t always “good enough” to get that coveted green light of mercy.
At least now in Kentucky, that’s changing. HB 370 is a new piece of legislation which allows motorcyclists in Kentucky to “run a red light.” And it the new law is live starting on this Wednesday.
One biker says he sees the good and bad about this law.
( via wsaz) “I have mixed feelings about it,” Ellerbe said. “From the perspective of a motorcycle driver, I could understand why the law would be a good thing. But then I’m looking at pedestrians and other drivers. You know, are they going to pay attention to the other drivers and pedestrians?”
The law should serve to be a better, more efficient mechanism for travel all over Kentucky. Do you agree?

The most tragic biker story of this summer continues. Back in may there was a fight between rival bikers that quickly escalated into a disastrous shootout. It all happened near a Twin Peaks restaurant in Waco, Texas. Nine people were killed and 20 injured. A total of 177 people were arrested.
Out of the 177, a few claim they don’t belong to any biker club or gang at all. Walt and Ester Weaver are some of these people. Walt is completely stunned by the actions of the authorities and the way this situation is handled.
Walt is a veteran and he still works for the Army. He’s a 54-year-old Harley rider and says he used to be a member of some clubs in the past but isn’t one now.
Many other stories just like this are on NPR today. (click here for more)
The key in this is the massive amount of bikers involved and the chaotic environment of which it happened in creating a real troublesome environment for collecting evidence and finding reliable witnesses. Hopefully, those who truly are innocent are able to rectify the situation sooner, rather than later.
