Some people were born to define what they do Dale Walker is not a household name everywhere. But in many households on the west side of the US, he’s a legend. If you’re into motorcycles, especially drag racers, you know how important Dale is. Several decades ago, like quite...
It’s a given Mexico’s been building a strong automotive manufacturing foundation over the years, and with many US and European firms already there, and the many Chinese companies rushing in, their home market appears to be positioned to explode – in a good way. Even now, it has about...
The transportation industry is experiencing a level of change and uncertainty that could possibly rival the late 1800s when there were, amazingly, roughly 2000 companies involved in the manufacture of automobiles. The advent of mass production shortly after, however, decimated the manufacturing landscape and paved the way for The...
Personal, motorized transportation has steadily evolved since the first viably commercial car, the Benz Patent-Motorwagen, took to the streets in 1886. Change was hard then, and change is hard now. A lot of people were not at all happy with the noisy, smelly, undoubtedly dangerous machines scaring the locals...

Entry 1 I bought this ’22 ST in December of 2023, sight-unseen. It was from a dealer in SoCal, Wheels in Motion (WIM). It was a decent deal, not unexpected because it was off-season. But it was also a bit of a gamble coming from a dealer, and not...
I’m the second owner of this unique Gen 2 V-Strom 1000 XT. The original owner, a Scott Brown from Nevada, and who was a fabricator for Holeshot Performance, was meticulous in its care, and it provided a blank canvas for their accessories business. I’ve had it for one year,...
The receipt folder for my 98 XJ is officially too fat to fit in the file box, now. Six years ago we bought it from the original owner, an engineer and hotrod gearhead who kept it in exceptional condition, and we’ve definitely spent a lot more money on it...
After a three-year absence, the 2022 reemergence – and re-imagining – of one of the world’s most important auto shows, the North American International Auto Show (NAIAS) in Detroit, was a mixed bag, but well worth attending. After having to cancel the event a few times, and then restructuring...
