Inside Motorcycles contributor and Flat Track Canada announcer, Todd Vallee, offers his thoughts on racing, motorcycles and much more!
We’ve all heard that song declaring that this is the most wonderful time of the year. Trees, lights, presents, visions of sugar plums (whatever they are) and so on as we prepare for that magical day on the 25th. While I do enjoy Christmas, I am a bit conflicted when it comes to the most...
Read moreAfter spending the past decade or so as possibly the fan favourite in the AFT series, Shayna Texter Bauman has now caused quite a stir in the off-season. On November 12th Texter Bauman got tongues wagging when the Red Bull Factory KTM Racing Team announced that she was leaving after a successful three year relationship....
Read moreMany times in this space I have spoken about the freedom that two wheels and the open road provide. Nothing compares to a beautiful summer evening, a twisty road just ahead, and the roar from your bike as you twist the throttle just a bit more.
