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!

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. 🤷‍♂️

Feb. 4, 1926: Renso Viotti, 6, of Turin, Italy, "is said to be the smallest motorcycle rider in the world."

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.

Jan. 18, 1926: The Motorcycle, Bicycle and Accessory Show opens at Madison Square Garden in New York. Agnes O'Laughlin and Lavergne Lambert demonstrate a motorcycle equipped with firefighting gear.

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. 💕 @theclash.com @faroutmagazine.co.uk

Dec. 13, 1925: A game of motorcycle polo is played in Hoboken, N.J., to benefit the firefighters Christmas fund.

wondered what all the honking outside my hotel was and it’s a seemingly endless stream of motorcycling santas driving through the streets of krakow

Dec. 6, 1925: A motorcyclist reaches the summit straight up during the annual hill-climbing contest at Girard, Calif. The slope has a grade of 74 degrees.

When it’s too cold or snowy to ride on the street it’s time to break out the dirt bikes. Even the alpacas are intrigued. The Talaria works great in the cold and is a blast in the snow. So much fun!

Super cool chopped Dnepr (I think) and Zaporozhets car repurposed for decoration seen in Kryvyi Rih last month. These are our people & they’re being murdered by a war criminal. If you’re in the US please consider calling your reps to voice your opinion on the capitulation we’re proposing.

Right now, we are at one of the key points of this war. All thoughts and acts of support matter today. Every honest word matters. Every heart is part of our shared strength. We will stand firm. We will endure together. Slava Ukraini!

I don't know if this is my favorite Todd Snider song, or the best Todd Snider song but it is undisputably the most Todd Snider song. Rest in chaos to my hero. www.youtube.com/watch?v=kaYi...

Nov. 11, 1925: Motorcycle taxis have taken off in popularity in Berlin, thanks to their economy and ability to weave in and out of traffic. The driver shows courtesy to his fare riding in a sidecar.

The season wrap up, play day and awards at Lawrenceburg (Indiana) Motorcycle Speedway this weekend were a blast. Such a great track & such a great community. So good to see everybody on one last beautiful day. I’m already looking forward to 2026. If you’re anywhere near Cincinnati come join us!

It is the birthday of the author who wrote, “The place to improve the world is first in one's own heart and head and hands, and then work outward from there.” Robert Pirsig was born on this day in 1928. He is best known for his book "Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance." #BookSky #Philosophy

Sept. 6, 1925: Racing on a chilly fall Sunday in Britain. Competitors in the Motor Cycling Club’s London-to-Edinburgh run; listening to radio reports; a rider in the Surbiton Clubs Grand Club Trial finds himself in a hole.

Sept. 1, 1925: “The fashion-conscious Debenham sisters ride their motorcycles wearing fun winter coats,” in London.

Congratulations to greater Cincinnati’s own Trent Lowe for winning the Springfield Mile yesterday. What better place to claim a maiden victory than the most prestigious motorcycle flat track race in the world! He grew up racing at Lawrenceburg & as good a racer as he is, he is an even better person!

This seems important:

It was a really good night of flat track motorcycle racing last night in Lima for the Ohio National, night one. They’re racing again tonight, come check it out if you can. It’s the best race on the American Flat Track schedule, a classic cushion track with multiple lines.

April 6, 1925: Motorcyclist Bert Denly practices at the Brooklands track in England on his Model 18 Norton.
