Rainy Days Reading

[renchinrider]

 Hey, Everyone!

I've been gathering these various links for a rainy day, and it looks like the rainy days are definitely upon us.  So, to help delay the onset of cabin fever and "Can't Ride Syndrome", here is some leisure reading to tide you over.

First, we start out with the King of Kool, Clint Eastwood... ;D

Next up is this great article posted by Cycle World on Twitter, in which they argue that the 1983 Honda Interceptor 750 was the first modern superbike.  Looking at the beauty of this beast, I would have to agree...

Then we enter the world of speed freaks with this hyper-powered Honda mini... ???

Next is this announcement by Thunder Press that EBR is back in the business of hand-making racing bikes.  It's an exciting read!

Next on deck:  This article from Cycle World discussing Honda's return to World Superbike racing...

Here's a topic for some consideration:  What is a "Street Tracker" motorcycle?  My own follow on questions are naturally, why would one want to build one, and what would one do with it once it's built?  Hmmm.  Perhaps the genesis of another reality TV series? :D

And finally:  here's an article tweeted out by Thunderpress, detailing Metzeler's latest cruiser tires.  Not sure they'll boost my confidence in my own cornering abilities, but at least they might help me stop faster!   ;D
