    Creating something exceptional requires the vision to imagine what could be, and the skill and determination necessary for it to be. Though, frankly, the ratio of vision to skill to determination can sometimes be a bit wonky. Last Call indicates the end of Hooniverse’s broadcast day. It’s meant to be an open forum for anyone…

    The Suzuki VanVan 200 is a relative newcomer to the U.S. motorcycle market, but it is a longtime favorite in Japan, as evidenced by this oh-so-suave couple in 1975. Last Call indicates the end of Hooniverse’s broadcast day. It’s meant to be an open forum for anyone and anything. Thread jacking is not only accepted,…

    The False Neutral — that’s the Hooniverse Podcast Network’s motorcycle-themed podcast, for those who aren’t regulars here — debuted three years ago today. Eric, Garrett, & I were fortunate that things took off pretty quickly, thanks to the willingness of Jeff to give us a home, and Hooniverse readers to give us a try. Since…

    This month’s episode starts as usual with updates on our various project bikes, and we talk about the prodigious progress Garrett has made on his collection of two-strokes, along with some dreamed-up future project ideas we’ll surely never get around to actually attempting. After that, we each try to name one bike we could live…

    The January episode of the False Neutral podcast is live! Actually, it’s been available for a week already, as subscribers are already aware. I didn’t manage to get the accompanying Hooniverse post together in time for Two-Wheel Tuesday last week. Amazingly, all three of your hosts did ACTUAL work on ACTUAL project bikes this past…

    I’ve never been a trucker, or personally known many truckers. But my employer for the last decade and a half is a big player in the trucking industry, so I’ve gradually learned to appreciate big haulers.

    Drino Miller was a remarkable pioneer in off-road racing. He built the Baja Boot for Steve McQueen. He worked for TRD and Pro-Circuit. Along the way, he also created the first single-seat VW-based baja buggy.  To my eyes, this will forever be the most perfect off-road vehicle: the simple lines, the short wheelbase, the simplicity…
