Wise old saying…

Bythemotoworld

There is a romantic old saying “if you love something, set it free. If it comes back to you it is true love”. However, those of us that race and ride motorcycles know the saying actually goes, “If you love something set it free. If it comes back to you, it means you high sided!…

“Asphalt is for racing…

Bythemotoworld

…Dirt is for planting potatoes.” So said a motorcycle racer, and good friend. A long time ago I swore off going to funerals, like thirty years ago, but since that time I have been to two. Yesterday was number two. When I first heard of my friends passing I, like everyone else I imagine who…

Cretins Motorcycle Club

Bythemotoworld

When most people hear the term “Motorcycle Club” they instantly change the word club to “gang.” They picture bikers riding into town terrorizing the local folk, taking what they want and leaving the town in shambles. Ok, so I may have watched “The Wild Ones” a few too many times and I do record the…

Wives always tell the truth…

Bythemotoworld

…even when you don’t need them to! A while back I went to a ‘Bike Night’ hosted by a local dealership at a popular drive-in burger joint (aren’t they all?). I took a sh*tload of pictures ( thank god, and Nikon, for digital camera’s) and met a bunch of very friendly and enthusiastic riders. There…

Never a dull moment

Bythemotoworld

This isn’t really about ‘riding’ with The MotoWorld but it is an adventure with The MotoWorld. We have been coming here to Miller Motorsports Park for four years now and each trip is different. There are different race events, different racers, different vendors and entertainment. Last year they changed the schedule to hold the Superbike…

Baby Riders

Bythemotoworld

I have spent the vast majority of my life on two wheels. From riding a Schwinn Stingray to school, throwing newspapers onto porches pedaling that same Stingray…well…occasionally the paper ended up on the roof or in the shrubs…”sorry Mrs. Cleaver…”. I wish I still had that Stingray…do you know much that would be worth on…

A look back at World Superbike in Utah

Bythemotoworld

A week ago at this time, Team MotoWorld was at Miller Motorsports Park in Tooele, Utah for the World Superbike race. Scrambling for interviews, uploading photos from the practice session, getting ready for Superpole and in general just working like mad people…I love my job. As a former racer and now journalist, I enjoy every…
