A peek behind the curtains: Helmet safety, advertising dollars and editorial policy

Risk of offense is the price of clarity

A fascinating look behind the scenes at Motorcyclist magazine describes Dexter Ford's firing from Motorcyclist, apparently as a result of his no-hold-barred expose of shortcomings in the Snell M2005 standard that, according to some experts, could result in greater injuries to riders.

Buying a replacement motorcycle battery? Who made it, and how to make it last longer.

YUASA Motorcycle Battery

Spring is on the way, and if you aren't lucky enough to have a long-lasting motorcycle battery, you're probably going to be buying a new motorcycle battery soon.

Here are a couple of resources that can help you choose a new motorcycle battery.

First, here's a Consumer Reports automotive battery article that says, in part:

Most auto batteries are made by just three manufacturers, Delphi, Exide, and Johnson Controls Industries. Each makes batteries sold under several different brand names. Delphi makes ACDelco and some EverStart (Wal-Mart) models. Exide makes Champion, Exide, Napa, and some EverStart batteries. Johnson Controls makes Diehard (Sears), Duralast (AutoZone), Interstate, Kirkland (Costco), Motorcraft (Ford), and some EverStarts.

R.I.P. Buell

Harley-Davidson announced the end of the Buell line.

The day I nearly lost my leg

Reading a blog entry on HarleyThoughts.com about a gruesome incident reminded me the day I came within inches of losing my right leg.

It was 1980. It was late on a Summer Saturday afternoon. I was 20 years old, full of the dumbass fearlessness that so often accompanies youth. I was riding a 1969 Harley Shovelhead. I accelerated quickly from an intersection on a busy main drag, leaving the rest of the cars behind. I wasn't racing, but I was moving along faster than the rest of traffic. I wasn't wearing a helmet—this was long before California eliminated that choice.
