Road Dirt

We share a portion of a conversation we enjoyed with Kevin Baxter of ProTwin Performance and Baxter's Garage. Kevin is a noted custom motorcycle builder, and one of North America's premier high-performance V-Twin engine tuners. We discuss his latest creation, the award-winning Curve Bike, diving into the bike's very personal inspiration, the unique features he built in, and the accolades the bike has received in the custom motorcycle world.

Mimi & Moto

If you’re riding through a rough patch, on a motorcycle ride or in life, the key might be to make up your mind and throttle through. Motorcycle riders are characterized by a “can-do” spirit. We examine how and what we can improve, then we “get back on the horse” and roll out. It all begins in the mind and the will.

We share Rob's personal experience with this from a road trip this summer, and how "The Moto Mindset" helped him overcome adversity and uncertainty.

The Budget Biker: Eat Right, Ride Cheap

Road Dirt's Ted Edwards talks with Max Flinders, MotoAmerica road racer competing in the Superbike class. Max and Ted discuss the struggles of being a "privateer" racer, with few sponsors, no crew besides family, and the hardships of going it alone. 

Yet for a passionate racer like Max who loves the sport, what keeps him motivated? What keeps him on the road and on the track, pursuing his dream?

We think you'll find inspiration from this enthusiastic young man, and his faithful fans.

Storms find me, seeking me out like Sidewinder missiles, tracking me down whether I’m out for a day ride or on a multi-day road trip. There’s a cosmic determination to soak me at least once while I’m out two-wheeling, it seems, especially in the summer months. Here’s a few of my "wet tales", in no particular order other than how they come to mind. 

By the end, leave one or two of yours in the comments below! Let’s commiserate together.
