What Motorcycle Is in ‘The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo’?

The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo is a dark, brooding thriller that’s as cold as a Scandinavian winter and sharp as the bite of an arctic wind. It’s a story that punches hard with its characters, especially Lisbeth Salander, the enigmatic hacker with a troubled past and a thirst for justice. But we’re not here to dissect the plot, no sir. We’re here for one thing, and one thing only: the motorcycle.

Check Out This BSA A10 Super Rocket

Flat track racing. If America had one contribution to motorsport that screams its soul, it’s the glorious ballet of sliding sideways on dirt ovals. Names like Kenny Roberts, Wayne Rainey, and Dick Mann made their names in this gritty arena. Mann, for instance, even took a British BSA to the top, winning the ’63 Grand National. And that’s where Jeff Duval, historian and bike builder at Jets Forever, enters the scene with his beautifully restored BSA A10 Super Rocket, nicknamed ‘Anaheim.’

The Sidecar Guys Are Set to Ride Over 100 Miles in Reverse

Well, buckle up and prepare to shift into reverse – literally. Matt Bishop and Reece Gilkes, better known as The Sidecar Guys, are at it again with another wild idea to break a Guinness World Record. These three-wheeled daredevils have already circled the globe via scooter and sidecar, but now they’ve set their sights on something even crazier: driving the longest distance in reverse on a motorcycle with a sidecar.

Roughchild Custom BMW R90

A Malibu owner with a 911 Turbo wanted a matching BMW R90 for his weekend canyon jaunts, and naturally, he called Robert. The result? A 1974 custom BMW R90 brought back from the brink—restored, refined, and ready to ride. It is absolutely beautiful.

What Motorcycles Are In the ‘Top Gun’ Movies?

In the roaring skies of Top Gun, we all know Maverick’s jet—a sleek F-14 Tomcat, roaring with afterburners and leaving contrails of adrenaline. But when it comes to the ground, there’s another machine just as iconic.

Enter the motorcycle. It’s as much a part of Maverick’s character as his aviator shades and leather jacket, and it steals the scene whenever it makes an appearance. The question on everyone’s mind is: what motorcycle is in Top Gun?

Parr Motorcycles Custom Suzuki DR-Z400

Spencer Parr’s journey with the DRZ Scorpion 434 is nothing short of a full-throttle success story.

Fast forward to 2024, and Parr Motorcycles is now a big name in custom bike building.

BLM Will Close Access to Trails for Off-Roaders, Furthering the March to Mess Up Public Land

Public lands—something we all cherish, right? Well, apparently not by everyone. If you’ve been paying attention to the news much, you’d know it’s more complicated than a Sunday drive. Utah’s legislature has been in a tug-of-war with the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) over 14 million acres. They’ve been itching to privatize it under the guise of “states’ rights,” and now the BLM has handed them a golden opportunity with its Bears Ears National Monument management plan.

Europe’s Honda NT1100 Gets Updates for 2025

Honda’s latest NT1100 sport-tourer, a beloved gem across Europe, has been spruced up for 2025. The kicker? It’s still not coming to North America.
