With 30 miles of riding experience under his belt, Geoff Hill set out on a Royal Enfield from India to Ireland. And that was just the beginning. Hill then retraced the ‘round-the-world ride of Carl Stearns Clancy, a 22-year-old American who hit the road in 1912.

What It Takes To Run The Daytona 200
On the eve of the Daytona 200 we speak to hard-ass road racer Trevor Daley. Most of you won’t know Trevor, but he’s the epitome of what a racer should be. Think of him as a modern-day Gary Nixon. He’s as tough as they come: he’s raced with broken everything—hands, hips, feet. And he builds his own bikes, and finds the money, all while running a one-man fabrication shop that supplies many of the top teams in the MotoAmerica series with specialized pit equipment.

Are All Motorcycles The Same?
There are motorcycle industry insiders... and then there are real motorcycle industry insiders. Michael Uhlarik is the latter, with a career that's spanned the western world, for overseas powersports manufacturers like the Piaggio Group and Yamaha Motor Europe, then back in North America with Bombardier as well as other startups. He's seen it all from a high-level perspective, and he's here to tell you the motorcycle industry is changing.
Remember Universal Japanese Motorcycles? This term came about in the 1970s, used to describe a situation where all the bikes from Honda, Suzuki, Kawasaki and Yamaha had started to follow a very basic pattern. Now, 50 years later, we're seeing a similar thing happen, spreading across the entire motorcycle industry no matter where your bike is from. We've gone from the UJM to just... "UM."
