Rare BMW M1 For Sale: $965,000http://www.bmwblog.com/2015/06/27/rare-bmw-m1-for-sale-965000/
When we think of cars costing nearly, or above, a million dollars, we think of cars like the Bugatti Veyron or the McLaren P1. These cars have horsepower figures of around 1,000 and can do 0-60mph in under three seconds. These are the kinds of cars that can do well over 200mph without sweating. It’s ludicrous performance territory, but then again, it should be for over $1,000,000. But what about f

Known for marching to the beat of a different drummer, Morgan Motor Company has decided to put a new wrinkle into its three-wheeled rolling art piece. We tested the 1983cc, four-valve S&S X-Wedge-powered three wheeler, last year, and were quite fond of it – even with the as-tested price of $60,734.37.

Our good friend Elyse McKinnon and BMW drag racer, was seriously injured 6-27-15 at RPM dragstrip near Pacific Junction, IA. She is stable now but will continue to need extensive surgery. Please consider donating to help her and husband Chris meet the finacial challenges they are encuring. Due to the nature of her injuries she has a long road to recovery.

UPDATE

Elyse is still in Omaha
She is doing well with therapy. She formed a blood clot in her leg so that's being watched closely. She will also need knee surgery at some point in the future.
The broken nose will wait for a while. It's still not so noticeable yet, other issues seem a bit more important right now. Report is that her back is coming along well.

One of Our Own

Our good friend Elyse McKinnon and BMW drag racer, was seriously injured 6-27-15 at RPM dragstrip near Pacific Junction, IA. She is stable now but will continue to need extensive surgery. Please consider donating to help her and husband Chris meet the finacial challenges they are encuring. Due to the nature of her injuries she has a long road to recovery.

UPDATE

Elyse is still in Omaha
She is doing well with therapy. She formed a blood clot in her leg so that's being watched closely. She will also need knee surgery at some point in the future.
The broken nose will wait for a while. It's still not so noticeable yet, other issues seem a bit more important right now. Report is that her back is coming along well.

It is a dangerous thing to write a rider off. We learned that with Valentino Rossi, the old man currently leading the championship after two terrible years at Ducati, one tough year at Yamaha and then the first sign of resurgence from the middle of 2014.

The Honda RC213V was too aggressive an engine to be tamed by electronics, the chassis too stiff to contain the stampede of horsepower contained in the 90° V4. The bike span, wh

Our favorite customs usually leave us scratching our heads: do we want to stare at them all day, or ride the pants off them? Winston Yeh has a knack for building such bikes. The latest offering from the Rough Crafts stable is no different. It’s called ‘Rusty Slider,’ and it’s a decidedly leaner take on the Harley XR 1200.
