We've been bred on a steady diet of tire smoke with healthy doses of unleaded exlixir. Consider this a call to arms for our tribe of high-octane addicts: Gather your legion of loud, mayhem fueled machines and prepare to Giver 'er Hell™.

Read The Full Story It's not a 'lifestyle'. It's who we are. It's written in our DNA. A concept galvanized by generations of gear-heads and their high-octane obsession. From big twins to race ready superbikes, it's not what, it's why. We are one with two. We paid a visit to custom bike builders, racers and professional freestyle athletes from across the United States and Canada to get the who, what, when and why bikes are in their blood.motorbike shop on oldham road These are their Bikes Are In My Blood® stories. motorbikes for sale costa blanca spainSee them all here.motorcycle shop lausanneIt's the same reason why millions choose to ride with us every single day.trials motorcycle for sale vancouver bc

As we launch for 2017 we've staked our claim as leaders of the two-wheel communal consciousness that's hell bent for speed.

No, the confusion stems from the narcissism of the YouTube generation, who seem to be willing to post proof of their most inane escapades — too often, it seems, involving a motor vehicle — in the quest of nothing more important than looks and likes. For us Boomers, who have gone to such great lengths to forget, or at least suppress, the more — shall we call them — “extralegal” escapades of our youth, it can be extremely difficult to reconcile. Indeed, I sometimes find it hard to decide which troubles me more: putting so many people’s lives in danger by the stupidity of their actions, or recording the entire event so they can post proof of their guilt online. It’s especially hard to understand how these people think they will get away with such nonsense. Take the case of Quebec’s most notorious case of online vehicular stupidity. Three teenagers decided to race down Highway 15 north of Montreal at 190 km/h, weaving in and out of cars, driving on the unmarked shoulder and endangering the lives of everyone travelling through Les Laurantides that evening.

And, of course, they recorded the entire stunt and posted it online. Unfortunately for Sébastien Bernier, the driver, the budding Spielberg in the passenger seat managed to not only film him behind the wheel (proving that, A: he was the perpetrator) but also capture video of the illicit speeds they were travelling (thus proving, B: the infractions committed). The video went viral and, though it was quickly pulled down, it’s not like the Quebec police had to break a sweat identifying the miscreants. Even if an online posting can’t, in and of itself, prove the offence took place beyond a reasonable doubt, it can lead to serious consequences. As the leader of the Demon Road Qc Facebook group, Tommy Barr-Longuépée posted all manner of videos celebrating the havoc his club wrought on their motorcycles — speeding, weaving in between cars, standing-on-the-seat wheelies while speeding and weaving in between cars and … well, you get the idea. Seemingly more conscious of repercussions than Mr. Bernier, Mr. Barr-Longuépée took the time to digitally obscure all the licence plates in the video and, of course, he and his acolytes were wearing motorcycle helmets, preventing the identification of the riders.

On the other hand, deliberately drawing the attention of John Law — for instance, posting pictures of yourself online holding a sign saying “F— the cops” while displaying your dangerous driving tickets — seldom has a happy ending. On subsequent search of Mr. Barr-Longuépée’s home, police not only found the original videos posted online on his computer’s hard drive, but also 30 grams of marijuana and 24 satchels of cocaine. Needless to say, Mr. Barr-Longuépée went away for a while. And even if you do manage to evade the long arm of the law, there always seems to be some comeuppance. On April 8, 2012, perhaps the most egregious example of Canadian motoring excess — Victoria Highway Run 299km — was posted on YouTube. Saanich, British Columbia police were quickly alerted to the video depicting a motorcycle hitting speeds in excess of 295 km/h, passing a whopping 67 vehicles illegally (some at the aforementioned 295 km/h while “splitting lanes”) and riding on the shoulder.

The police department’s reaction was swift and impressive. Despite the paucity of evidence — the helmet-mounted camera shows nothing but the motorcycle’s dashboard and the road ahead — the Saanich P.D.’s forensic team was able to analyze the video so finely that they not only proved that the motorcycle in question was a 2006 Yamaha YZF-R1 but, by identifying specific chips and cracks (“accidental identifiers” in police parlance) in the motorcycle’s triple clamps, proved that it was the 2006 Yamaha specifically owned by one Randy Scott. In fact, Saanich Police’s Forensic Identification Specialist, Constable Will Dodds, so thoroughly dissected the video evidence that he is presenting a review of this very case at this year’s International Identification Conference in Sacramento, California, proving that even the smallest of our police forces — Saanich is a bedroom community of about 110,000 — have the resources to deal with such motoring malfeasance. Or, as Sergeant John Price of the Saanich department said, reiterating the resolve of every police department contacted, “We have the science and we are willing to spend the money to apprehend these offenders.”
