It all started in 2005 near the city of Leonberg, Germany, as a gathering of like-minded bikers who loved building custom café racers and wanted to race them over a 1/8 mile. It quickly grew to a festival attracting thousands from all over Europe. Custom bike builders from France, Spain, Italy, Norway, Denmark and even as far as Japan display their creations. BMW and Triumph are present among other manufactures, and riders like former World Superbike Champion Carl Fogarty, Speedway-Champ Karl Maier, and Isle of Man TT racer Guy Martin often appear to compete in the drag race “sprints.”
Visitors, participants, builders, and brands from various segments of the motorcycle realm, make this European motorcycle festival the place to be with some wild custom bikes and personalities making the scene. It’s grown to be known as the meeting point for international designers, engineers, developers, and their bikes.
The site is special as the public road was used as a Grand Prix racetrack up until the 60’s (the 1/8 mile drags take place on the front straight of the former Solitude Racetrack), and every weekend hundreds of bikers ride to the Hotel Glemseck to show off their bikes and have a chat.
Taking place the first weekend every September, this truly unique motorcycle festival has achieved an excellent reputation with its friendly atmosphere, exciting racing, variety of motorcycles and customizers, making it the perfect excuse to visit and pre-party for Oktoberfest… Prost!

Here’s our video recap of the biennial Ducati gathering staged at Misano World Circuit on the Adriatic coast of Italy, July 1-3, 2016. This ninth edition of World Ducati Week broke the previous attendance record from 2014 with an estimated 81,000 fans over 3 days in 2016.
Ducati fans came to Italy’s Adriatic Riviera from all five continents, representing 66 countries throughout the world. 60% of the motorcyclists at WDW2016 came from Italy, with the remaining 40% confirming the strength and appeal of the Ducati brand all over the world: Europe, USA, Canada, Brazil, UAE, South Africa, India, Indonesia, Malaysia, Vietnam, Japan and even Sri Lanka, Puerto Rico, Bahrain, Kazakhstan, Mongolia, Guatemala, Angola and China, from where four people came to Misano on board Ducati Multistrada 1200 bikes.
World Ducati Week 2016 confirmed the major evolution that Ducati has been going through over the last few years. The slogan for WDW2016 was “More than Red”, which means strong roots in the world of sportbikes, but also new models for new segments, like the XDiavel, the new Ducati cruiser, the Multistrada 1200 Enduro and the new Scrambler Sixty2 400 and the Scrambler Flat Track Pro. These three recent additions to the Ducati range allowed the participants in WDW2016 to live new and unique experiences.
The surface area figure in this record edition of WDW is also significant, with around 90,000 sqm of space occupied inside the Misano World Circuit, 80% up on the 2014 edition. This allowed more and more unique opportunities to be offered, such as the DRE Enduro, or the Scrambler Flat Track School, a course to learn how to slide safely on oval gravel tracks. There was also a massive presence of Scrambler bikes in the circuit, and the first ever Scrambler Reunion brought in more than 2000 ‘Scramblerists’ from all over the world. There was also more space for entertainment such as exhibitions and the celebration of the 90th anniversary of Ducati. The Scrambler village also featured live music featuring bands made up of Ducati employees!
The high point of the three intense and exciting days of WDW2016 came on Saturday 2 July, the day of maximum attendance. As well as the numerous activities on the weekend schedule, there were also two entertaining and exciting races reserved for Ducati MotoGP and Superbike riders of today and yesterday: the “Scrambler Flat Track Race by TIM” (held on Friday and won by Andrea Dovizioso) and the “Diavel Drag Race by Shell Advance” (held on Saturday and won by Scott Redding). The two races saw head-to-head competition between riders of the calibre of Casey Stoner (two-time MotoGP World Champion, in 2007 with Ducati), Andrea Dovizioso and Andrea Iannone (Ducati Team), Loris Capirossi (ex-MotoGP rider for Ducati), Chaz Davies (Aruba.it Racing – Ducati Superbike), Troy Bayliss (three-time World Superbike champion with Ducati), Regis Laconi (ex-factory Ducati rider and winner of the Drag Race in 2014), Scott Redding (OCTO Pramac Yakhnich) and Hector Barbera (Avintia Racing).
On Saturday evening, CEO Claudio Domenicali and the Ducati riders greeted all the Ducatisti from the stage of the Santamonica stadium at Misano Adriatico, and then revealed the 1299 Panigale S Anniversario, a special, limited edition version of the Italian Superbike, created to mark the 90th anniversary of Ducati, which was on July 4. A live concert followed and the traditional ‘Rustida’, the massive barbecue organised by the Adriatic Riviera lifeguards, where all the Ducati management help to grill and serve the classic ‘piadina’ to everyone present.
Even if you’re not a Ducatista, the two-wheeled event is an impressive spectacle to behold for any motorcyclist. Plus, it’s in Italy, so make your plans now for 2018!

The Quail Motorcycle Gathering convenes each May on the lawn of the Quail Lodge and Golf Club in Carmel, California, and has become one of the preeminent motorcycle events to see and be seen at on the West Coast. This Concours d’Elegance-style event is the equivalent of the exclusive automobile event at nearby Pebble Beach, but a little less hoity-toity because, well, motorcycle people are generally cooler.
Oh don’t get us wrong, there are still the moneyed collector-types strutting around with hefty wristwatches and glasses of Champagne, but the quality and variety of bikes is not to be dismissed. You’ll see vintage Vespas and antique board-trackers, restored military motor-bikes, scramblers, flat-trackers, choppers & superbikes, all comingling together in peaceful harmony.
Really, it’s sort of like the United Nations of motorcycles, with contingents representing American, Japanese, German, British, Spanish, and Italian marques, including restorations, original grand prix racing machines, and some names you’ve probably never heard of.
We’ll gladly raise a glass of bubbly to salute this worldly gathering, and we’ll see you again next year comrades.

In less than a month’s time from this post, Austin, Texas, will be buzzing on yet another high level after the hum of SXSW has subsided. Now it’s our turn, for the annual convergence of the two-wheeled spectacles of MotoGP racing, and the Handbuilt Motorcycle Show.
Biker’s Journal will once again be there to indulge in the top level of motorcycle road racing, and pure good-vibes mingling at the Handbuilt Show ogling over custom and vintage bikes.
Watching Valentino Rossi, Marc Marquez, Jorge Lorenzo, Andrea Iannone battle for position during the day at Circuit of the Americas, and then winding it down by hanging out with a completely different subset of the motorcycle culture in the evening in East Austin, is truly unique. There is nowhere else that we can think of, where you can experience two totally opposite spectrum ends of the motorcycle universe, as this weekend in Austin.
So flip that petcock, shift gears, and hit that rev limiter - we’ll see you at the best hoedown on two wheels April 8-10, 2016!

Portland, Oregon, is a city on the move with a funky woodsy groove. Populated with many good people with a style and vibe uniquely their own, and a motorcycle culture to match. PDX, as it’s also referred to, is home to myriad companies and brands that cater to, or cross paths with the two-wheeled scene- ICON 1000, Danner Boots, Langlitz, Red Clouds Collective, Poler Stuff, Tanner Goods, to name a few.
But the one whose really captured and exemplifies the local flavor is See See Motorcycles, with Thor Drake at the helm. Thor and his See See Motorcycles namesake founded the One Motorcycle Show in 2010, (See See is a hip moto-themed coffee cafe/boutique in addition to building cool bikes), plus he happens to be a rippin’ flat-track racer and seriously down-to-PDX earthly dude. The See See crew organizes this amazing annual event over a weekend every February, the timing of which in and of itself is a ballsy move. But hey, that’s how they roll in the Pacific Northwest.
The entrance line extending around the block is testament to the attraction, a vacuous old factory filled with killer curated customs, artwork, live music, and a party well-worth the wait and free admission thanks to the generous event sponsors.
Once inside, your senses are overwhelmed with the chatter of a thousand people, mixed with visual sensations of a monstrous-green industrial press overshadowing the crowd mixing among the 100+ motorcycles on display. Nearly every genre of modified motorbikes was represented, from vintage and bespoke Ducatis, Harley & Triumph choppers, cafe racers, BMW boxer-twins, sportbikes, and a bunch of dirt bikes, trackers & scramblers. It was nice to see a plethora of racing number-plated and garage-built bikes, which seems to be the heart of this show, a grassroots gathering of moto-heads that are passionate about their builds and chosen lifestyle. This year’s event also saw the addition of hooligan flat-track racing in nearby Salem.
After a thorough tour inside and the vendor displays in the parking lot, we can say this show is definitely one of the best in the world. A serious ‘Thank You’ is due to Thor and the See See posse for putting on this stellar showcase – bringing the builders, sponsors, and moto community together – all the while keeping it non-pretentious and chill.

As we all know, the love of motorcycles can often be described as an obsession. That very first ride is what hooks us, forming a connection so deep within our soul, that there must be something in our DNA that binds us to these mechanical beings.
For many, it is simply explained as “motorcycles are in my blood”, and perhaps there is some science to this. After all, there are many similarities between these machines and humankind. One such element is that we both require oxygen to operate at our core. And at this same core, there is the emotion these machines evoke within us. Is it primal, even carnal?
The answer is yes, and whether it’s in your subconscious or not, this infatuation drives the instinct to be close to our partner of choice, or to seek others. We want to get up close, intertwined, inside this creature as much as it’s inside us. We want to learn its inner workings and get to know its personality.
We travel together, we trust it with our lives, and bask in its beauty. This relationship and resulting desire leads us to admire the intimate details: the form of the body; the curves; the delicate fins; the hard angles; the fitment; fluids; smells; the way it glistens; the tolerances, and sensitivities.
What makes it tick? What manipulations will make it perform to our expectations? How will it feel or react when pushed to the limit? The attraction that exists between us and this combusting and pulsating life-form is undeniably visceral. This is raw, and this is real.

We here at Biker’s Journal embrace the passionate worldwide motorcycle community. We constantly network and search for bike builders and their unique and creative customs. Federico “Magneto” in Italy has one such bike he built himself - here is his story of this magical Moto Guzzi. //BJ
I got the bike from a friend of mine, it was a basket case and the price I paid was a dinner, and a cheap one too!
It was a 1982 Moto Guzzi Imola 350cc, It was missing a lot of body parts and the engine made sinister noises from the crank and the heads. It seriously needed an engine rebuild, but why not add a little more juice? Since all “little twin” Guzzi’s share the same frame, I began looking and found a 650cc from a V65TT with its gearbox and carburetors - about double the displacement and power - an engine swap worth the effort!
The new v-twin was torn apart for a complete inspection, all the gaskets, o-rings and seals were replaced. Pistons and cylinders polished and checked, valves and seats ground and so on. The gearbox too was disassembled to replace seals and bearings. The frame, a jamboree of rust and awful paint patches, was paper-sanded to the metal by hand (I’ll never do such a boring thing again!!!), all the unnecessary tabs were cut away then everything was painted in gloss black.
Moto Guzzi Imola features 18" cast wheels, the rear one has a strange concave-convex shape because of the brake caliper mounted on the bevel case in a central position. A layout that makes a traditional laced wheel impossible to fit. But I really wanted laced wheels for that classic cafe racer look, so I cut and machined the bevel case and the hub spacer to make enough room to host the much wider hub of a Moto Guzzi NTX dirt bike, which was replaced with a Radaelli 18" steel rim. The brake caliper was then switched from the right to the left side using a floating support from an early series V65TT, the oldest dirt bike from Moto Guzzi. The front wheel comes from a Moto Guzzi Nevada custom bike, I only had to install 2 disc rotors properly spaced with machined aluminium washers. The calipers are stock Brembo with stainless steel braided hoses. The fork legs and trees were polished, like all the other aluminium parts.
I’ve found the narrow and low vintage clip-ons in a flea market, the foot controls come straight from the Eighties too. Electrical system was rebuilt with a simpler layout, the instrument panel is hand made from aluminum sheets, some idiot lights, the original rev counter and a tach built using a little can which once contained hair grease.
The exhaust is the stock one with the rear end bent to lift the mufflers off the ground, the mufflers are handmade by me, everything was then covered with thermal-resistant matte black from a cheap spray can…
The original tank matches a single seat hand made with foam, leather (sewed by my mum) and a fiberglass cover molded using the shell of an old helmet. I bothered a friend of mine who races in the classic bikes championship until he allowed the beautiful early 80s fairing of his Guzzi racing bike to be used as a mold for a replica (thanks Licio!!!). I had to cut the hole for the chrome headlamp of a Moto Guzzi Nevada, and build all the supports to the frame with aluminium rods and sheets. Since I don’t have an aluminium welding machine, I used chrome nuts and bolts to connect everything together.
The paint is a very classic scheme, somehow inspired by Jarno Saarinen’s Yamaha and other racing bikes of the late 70s, and is the only thing on this bike that was done by professionals. Everything else was made by me in my little garage over time, 2 years and a half!
The bike is very fun to ride because it’s extremely lightweight and with the decent power of the bigger engine, the handling is awesome. The respect I have for old mechanical stuff is the only thing that inhibits me to push hard out of every single corner, with the front wheel lifting off the ground and the engine roaring, like in a Tourist Trophy of 40 years ago - when motorcycle racing was dangerous and sex was safe.
Tech stuff:
Year/Make/Model: 1982 Moto Guzzi Imola 350cc
Engine: Moto Guzzi V65 650cc
Carburetors: 2 Dell'Orto PHF 32mm
Air cleaner: K&N cone filters

Speedway motorcycle racing at Costa Mesa Speedway in Orange County, California, has been a colorful Saturday night tradition since 1969. Motorcycle enthusiasts young and old, pack the stands every week starting in May, when the balmy Southern California weather is perfect for the exciting action that starts before sundown.
On any given week, you’ll catch the 500cc, 0-60 in under 3-second brakeless bikes ripping around the 1/10th mile dirt track, - as well as occasional sidecar action - and ever-popular Harley night, where any Joe can attempt to race around the dirt oval with other like-minded thrill-seekers.
Thrills and spills are a given, and is the reason why generations have flocked here for a Saturday night well spent with family and friends.
Long live speedway!

(Edited from original article published June 24, 2015)
No one knew what was to come from the little vintage chopper show that started in the parking lot of a motorcycle shop in 2009.
Founded by motor and chopper heads Mike Davis and Grant Peterson, the Born Free show started humbly on a Saturday in Orange, California, where vintage motorcycle aficionados in Orange County knew there would be something to see. The location was Classic Cycles, known for restorations of British bikes like BSA’s Triumphs, Nortons, and myriad choppers, bobbers, and show bikes.
Both Mike and Grant had connections to the vintage chopper world via their personal pursuits, and followers of their blogspot blogs, Born Loser and Chopped Out, respectively. Both were avid motorcycle collectors and had the knack for finding the hard-to-find classic parts many people were seeking to restore their garage built period-correct bikes. Grant, along with noted paint slayer, Harpoon, always had interesting posts to feed the dreamers starving for chopper porn on Chopped Out (and still do), while Mike had (and still has) awesome porn of classic vintage motorcycle parts, and classic hot babes (and the most original t-shirts!).
When they put the word out for their idea for a bike show, support came from far and wide. Chopper elites such as Chica and Max Schaff, among others came, and bikes were ridden from across the country, as well as Harley choppers from Japanese builders were shipped over for this first-ever show. A few hundred to nearly one thousand people in all showed up for the viewing of what was to be history in the making, and an event for the obsession was born.

We first spied this beauty at Willow Springs Raceway during Corsa Motoclassica, where Jay Larossa entered this mastery in the bike show - and to no one’s surprise - took first prize in the cafe racer class!
The bike started out as a clean running donor bike, not the typical rusty hunks that Jay typically starts with. Irregardless, he redoes every bike down to each nut and bolt, and this bike was no exception.
The frame, wheels and all the parts were powder coated black and the motor was rebuilt and blacked out. A big bore kit brought the motor up to 608cc, cases were split, a Mega-cycle cam, valve job with new valves, a Barnett clutch and Keihin CB racing carb were put in place. Lossa’s own Yoshi style replica 4 into 1 exhaust were used with their reverse cone muffler and the whole set up was ceramic coated. An FB-Stuff points cover was installed over the Dyna electronic ignition, and filled up with Jay’s preferred Motul oil.
All the tabs were removed, frame hooped, battery relocated under the cowl, bike was wired with a modern regulator/ rectifier, dry cell battery, electronic ignition, and NGK wires. It also has a H4 headlight, Acewell digital gauge with their new mini key set up and starter button. A chrome set of Lossa brand clubman bars were used, Biltwell grips, Tarrozzi fork brace and rearsets. Joker Machine tappet cover, stem nut, axle adjusters and brake stay were used to dress up the boring stock pieces. The brake caliper was polished to perfection and the stock rotor CNC drilled. Every nut and bolt were re-plated with chrome or zinc plating. Finishing off the build with some reservoir shocks, gold O ring chain and Magura master cylinder.
Jay did all the bodywork, and purposely didn’t put knee dents in tank to keep it smooth as glass to show the fine House of Kolor paint laid down by Tom Mcweeny of Kustoms, Inc. Tom started with an Orion Silver base and did candy apple red over with lines graphics and lace work and finished it off with some silver leafing and hand pin-striping. A Lossa seat pan with pleated black leather, handily upholstered by Victor, exposes Tom’s mid-seat pin-striping below, and a Lossa brand LED tail light puts a classy final touch on the tail.
Jay had the Firestone tires laying around unused from a previous project, and were used for this as an old school-looking show bike and not meant for canyon carving. “Plus painting the tire brands lettering is so damn popular right now, I wanted to be cool too!” quips Jay.
Biker’s Journal says “well done” and we’re proud to feature this classy lady.
Enjoy!

Chris has been riding BMX, skateboards, and motorcycles since he was a child. "Growing up riding motorcycles has had a profound impact on my life," states Chris. He grew up in California riding dirt bikes and ATC three-wheelers at Pismo Dunes, commuted on a Honda Elite 150 scooter in college, and purchased a Harley-Davidson Softail in his 20's, which he still owns along with two vintage bikes. A few bruises, business ventures, and thousands of miles by motorcycle later, Chris left his career in the corporate media business to create the ultimate community platform for bikers.
Vladimir started messing with the computers at an early age and became a successful IT grease monkey. Later in life, he helped other folks kickstart their companies and earn money. That got him thinking he can do it himself and became an entrepreneur working on different continents. When he met Chris and heard about the idea, Vlad decided to join the team and help the vision come true..
