Hooniverse Asks: What’s the greatest vehicle for towing a motorcycle?
/

comments
It’s two-wheel Tuesday so I want to pay some love and respect to our motorcycle-loving friends. I may not ride, but I look on with envy as you roll past. Often while splitting traffic here in California. Constantly checking my mirrors, I appreciate and notice the thumbs up given when I yield proper lane space…

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…

Last Call: It’s Not Easy Being Green
/

comments
You can get motorcycles that are faster, better handling, better designed, and better built than the Baodiao BD150 Sport. But I defy you to find a production motorcycle that’s more greeeeen! 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…

You don’t want A Ruckus; you want this.

comments
When Executive Editor Jeff Glucker talks about two-wheeled things, he eventually gets around to saying that he really wants a modded Honda Ruckus. I keep telling him he doesn’t. It’s not that I fail to comprehend the attraction of a featherweight machine with a CVT and (for most of the USA) no rider licensing or…

HCOTY 2018: The Fat Hippo Utility Bike
/
/
comments
Ryan Frankenberg is a high-end cabinetmaker from Idaho who has become one of my heroes because of his wondrous scrap-yard build, The Fat Hippo. The Hippo is a remarkably functional trail bike that Ryan fabricated almost entirely from salvaged parts and raw metal stock. He regularly works to clear ORV trails on the public lands…

comments
Suzuki has announced that it is lowering the curtain on their once all-conquering Hayabusa 1300, after 21 model years (and just one fairly mild refresh halfway through its life). The official reason is that Euro4 emission regs prohibit sales of the Hayabusa in the EU as of the end of this month. A 2019 model…

The old Jawa name is now owned by Mahindra, along with BSA and Peugeot’s motorcycle brand. The first ground-up product from the reborn Jawa is this handsomely retro-styled 300cc four-stroke single. No word on whether it will ever be sold in Europe or North America, or how it will actually perform, but (other than a…

The nice thing about this is that no matter which way you go when you lose control — and you will lose control — you know it’s gonna be a high-side. 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…
