New Harley-Davidson 2012 models Clean, lean and old school bikes hit the road The harley-davidson® seventy-two™ motorcycle is a metal flake dream machine, a sportster® on a trip back to the days when the cool kids rode a sting-ray and the big boys parked choppers in a row on the curb. Those motorcycles were long and lean; candy-apple color and gleaming chrome shimmering in hazy summer sunlight. From its hard candy big red flake paint and ape bars to its narrow whitewall tires, the seventy-two is a respectful nod to that era, and to the influence of the custom culture that still percolates today along whittier boulevard, the legendary cruising street in east los angeles also known as route 72. A new generation of custom builder is tapping into that era and making a fresh statement, not just in California but in garages across the country, even around the world. READ MORE

After the ride imbibe Before the ride: point, zero, zero, zero Hello, dear fans of Throttler Magazine. My name is Ethan Lincoln and I am pleased to join this publication with a little bit of a twist for a column. I am a blogger who has a bit of a passion when it comes to good drink. I am also rider and keep the two far from each other.
Like many of you who are reading this for the first time, we all know the fun that being on a motorcycle gives us. For me it was something that gave me a feeling of great joy and independence. Like many first time riders, I learned how to ride by taking the MSF course offered by a local community college in my area. My head filled and absorbed the material. The basics were repeated, but there was one lesson that was very memorable for being succinct and to the point.
Deaf motorcyclists The eyes have it for deaf motorcyclists Keeping their head and eyes up is never an issue for many of Jasmine Bluecreek Clark’s beginning rider students the way it is for others.
“The deaf know that they can’t hear so they use their eyes more,” she says. “Any Rider Coach you talk to will tell you one of the most common corrections that we make, probably 50 to 100 times a day, is to keep your head and eyes up. Don’t be staring at the ground. I generally don’t even have to tell my deaf students that once. And if I have to tell them once that’s it.”
There are some careers that people perceive as dirty jobs, requiring physical body strength and holding high levels of danger are undesirable for most women.
Today, we have more and more women who have been giving up their patriotic duty of stay at home moms, law books, stethoscopes, managerial and professional occupations. In today’s society they are making room for wrenches, power tools and overalls. These women have moved into a career, of the V-Twin Mechanic, as they add chick power to wrist wrenching and tool torqueing techniques.
Project yz144 restoration “Run what ya brung” - part one Many of us just love to ride. We don’t race seriously and just want to get out in the dirt and have fun…but with new 4 stroke motocross bikes starting to cost almost $10k new, the price of the gas, trailer, etc., it’s getting expensive. So what can a biker do to help offset these costs?
It’s simple… old is new all over again.
In Part One of a series, we’ll chronicle restoring an older bike and show you what it takes for you to do the same. We’ll outline a basic plan for you to follow, as well as identify resources for you to use. The bike we’ll use is a 2001 Yamaha YZ125; these smaller 2 stroke MX bikes are still quite cheap (ours was $1200) and are still widely available… but probably not for too much longer!
WTF?...Really! Write your best caption describing what you think is going on in this photo. If we like your caption we'll publish
it in the next issue of Throttler
