Rob Brooks Rides The New Victory Octane
Victory Octane Road Test & Eval Since the first V92c rolled off the assembly line on July 4, 1998, Victory Motorcycles has been carving out an ever-expanding slice of the American motorcycle pie.

Rolling Thunder – 1st Amendment Demonstration Run
By Paul Murray Rolling Thunder is the largest 1st Amendment demonstration run in the United States, and every year during Memorial Day weekend motorcyclists roll into our Nation’s capital to emphasize the urgency of keeping POW/MIA issues current. “With the economic recovery and healthcare reform taking center stage, the POW/MIA issue is one that nobody in our government wants to address anymore.

The Dark Minds of Regulated Media – Should 1%er Be Allowed to Be a 1st Responder?
Recently, several central Florida media outlets ran a story regarding two local Fire Department Captains who also belong to, or are leaders of local Motorcycle Clubs. Before we delve into the dark minds of the regulated media’s slant on ‘Journalism’ we should explore what they do on a slow news day.
