Antique Motorcycles Visit these sites devoted to antique motorcycles, including the Web site for the Antique Motorcycle Club of America, a non-profit organization dedicated to the restoration and exhibition of antique motorcycles. Find out information about the various chapters as well as a schedule of events. If you like antique motorcycles, you may as well join the club.

Biker Women There is something special about women who love bikes. Maybe it's because they are strong, determined, and just a tad adventurous. There are some great resources for women and motorcycles on the Net, as there should be. After all, it's hard not to admire a woman who knows the value of a Harley. Web:
Harley Owners Group There's something so lovable about a Harley-Davidson. Maybe it's because they are so sexy, powerful and have lots of thrust. Or maybe it's that air of exotic mystery and charisma. Or maybe they're just good motorcycles. If you're a Harley fan, check out this site, which has art, technical information, pictures and stolen bike information. Web:

Read the tips on repair, maintenance and tune-ups for many popular brands of bikes.

(My philosophy is that everyone should have at least one good relationship in their life.) Web:
Motorcycle Online Magazine While it's not as convenient as a paper magazine sitting in the bathroom, this electronic motorcycle magazine is spiffy and worth a look. It features news stories, video and photo archives, a virtual museum, a U.S. events database, sneak previews of next year's motorcycle models, and links to services offered by commercial parties and manufacturers. Web: Motorcycle Racing What a rush it is to be racing at high speeds with nothing between you and the air except a flimsy little jumpsuit that will disintegrate upon impact with the asphalt.

Sidecars A sidecar is not something you see every day. The last one I saw was racing down the highway attached to a motorcycle driven by a young man in a leather jacket. The sidecar was loaded down with a plump blonde woman in her seventies who was also wearing a leather jacket and a long scarf that was trailing out behind her. Sidecars must be cool. Web:
