Racer Josh Herrin gives a thumbs up with what might best be described as a bemused look in the paddock at the Indianapolis GP in 2014

Congratulations to Josh Herrin on his Daytona 200 win today and to Kayla Yaakov on her podium, first ever for a woman in the 200!

Thank you NAFO for all you do - Slava Ukraini!

Looking forward to seeing them if and when they come to town, probably at Northside Yacht Club…

Good news keep coming today!
Jack Bell is off to Daytona!!!
After a successful Cory Texter Throwdown where he was the first Brit ever to qualify for the Main Event (finished 10th) AFT has accepted him as a Wild Card for Round 1 at Daytona.
I sadly won’t be there but if you’re planning to go say hi!

That worked - thank you!

Really looking forward to this! FYI the link isn’t working for me

Happy Birthday! I and so many are hoping your wishes come true! Thank you for all the you do to keep the world informed and aware!

First off, I love these, a great way to start the day and I am really looking forward to hitting 50.
Second though, I think this one may be wrong, 27 days ago wasn’t January 27.

Love mine, sorry this one was subpar. Best community I’ve found in riding is around these bikes.

Wonderful day out on the motorcycle today in the Victoria sunshine.
Took a new to me motorcycle out for a test ride, unfortunately, it was much nicer in my dreams, in reality it sucked pretty bad.
But this is why we test ride these things. 🤷‍♂️

This is amazing - you (and Xray Xeroxx of course!) have made my day. Thank you!

Feb. 1, 1926: A motorcycle adapted to carrying firefighting apparatus, on display at the New York Auto Show.

In The Rock 1/24/1994: Straight outta Cincinnati, Throneberry release their debut LP, ‘Sangria’ on Alias Records. It’s a great listen, if you’re lucky enough to find it; they transcend the prevailing indy noise scene of the era, grasping for something more, and reach it. #Throneberry #RockHonorRoll

Jan. 20, 1926: Five-year-old Clayton Sandruck rides shotgun in a "motorboat sidecar" designed for hunting trips. The detachable boat is displayed at a motorcycle show at New York's Madison Square Garden.

If your New Year's resolutions/intentions include disengaging from screens at least a little, you're close-ish to Cincinnati and you're interested in motorcycles or karting at least a little come on out and support Lawrenceburg Motorcycle Speedway in 2026. Good times, good folks & great racing!

One of the highlights of my visit to Ukraine this fall was the Time Machine Museum in Dnipro. This clearly grew up out of somebody’s garage and is absolutely fantastic! Mostly soviet era vehicles with a healthy dose of ephemera and curiosities. This is what Putin wants to destroy, culture.

As always, racing & watching flat track at Lawrenceburg Motorcycle Speedway was a highlight in 2025. Such fun & such a great community. I have learned so much riding flat track & encourage anybody that’s even mildly curious to give it a try. You don’t need to be fast to have fun, I’m living proof!

Another highlight of 2025 was making it to the Mayors Cup Speedway race in Krakow with my son Lucas in September. Great riders and great fans at a nice little venue in the middle of a neighborhood right in Krakow, love to see it!

2025 was another good year of motorcycle riding and racing. One of the highlights of the year was getting together with friends from the XR 1200 community to go riding in and around the Smokies like we do every year in May. Highly recommend these bikes, these folks and these roads!

Fun Fact: Cincinnati Royal Jerry Lucas won the 1965 #NBA #ASG He received a motorcycle. Also: I hope my Royals doc will one day see the light of day.

Happy birthday, Paul Simonon. 🎸

And thank you for taking time out to sing with young street musicians playing The Clash. 💕
