Hello, Robert!

Every point in your invitation is true. It's so exciting to realize that I'm bound with that many people around the globe by this passion. The need to salute every rider I see on the road is coming from the guts and I know they will gladly raise their hand in return. It's such a great feeling of brotherhood, freedom and power!

It's an hohor to join your club. Ride safely and may the force be with us ;)

Attached are the photos of me at my dacha in Moscow suburbs and at work (yes, I do have to change in the office :)

High regards,

Maxim Sidelnikov,

Come and take a virtual tour of motorcycling in Canada.

Motorcycle videos in high definition. 3 HD video cameras are used to film this Canadian travel show. Visit site: www.vridetv.com/videos.html

Hubless Motorcycle? See below, you won't believe it.

This bike runs on the hubless wheels(spoke less wheels), Cool! By biker boys at Amen Design. Inspired by Franco Sbarro’s hubless wheels. Hubless wheels work by fixing the rotating parts (brake ring, bearings, hubless rim) onto the outer side of a non-rotating inner ring that attaches to the motorcycle’s swingarm or forks. Advantages include decreased unsprung weight, reduced structural stress (no spokes to transmit forces through), increased braking leverage, more accurate steering, reduced vibration and a lower center of gravity.

Welcome to 'The Virtual Motorcycle Gang' Mireille, from Edmonton, Alberta, Canada.

Here's Dave Wong's bike - Suzuki GSX - Hot!

 

Dave Wong and I used to work together at SMART Technologies, Inc...from Calgary, Alberta.  Along with Richard Schlinkert (another bike rider...and a classic restoration guy)....we were on the road many times together....putting up....working...then taking down a tradeshow booth.  Whew!  Sometimes we'd get a chance to experience the local tastes....and there was one time in particular...where I introduced Dave to the giant magaritas at the Mexican Bar/Restaurant in Mandalay Bay - Las Vegas. Dave still remembers that one, eh Dave?

Laverda Motorcycle sidecar - a sidecar like you've never seen before!

Click on either of the two photos and they will explode to full size for better viewing!

It is Laverda motorcycle sidecar, a supercar sidecar, including gulfwing doors. This Motorcycle Sidecars by François Knorreck of Italy. It took the man ten-year period(10,000 hours of work) and at a cost of 15,000 euros to complete his work the Snaefell. Now this 1000cc Laverda motorcycle has three exhausts, and the other half uses bits from a Volkswagen Golf GTI, Audi 80 and a Citroen Xantia car. It looks amazing!

I added some 'Motorcycle Music' to our website. Come take a listen!

Always love to be able to read about, write about, and look at photos of motorcycles, when I can't ride.  In a fit of inspiration a few days ago, I decided to add a soundtrack to the mix.  Hope you enjoy it. It will change regularly.  Ride on Brothers and Sisters!
