Sunstar is the largest OEM supplier of motorcycle and all terrain vehicle (ATV) sprockets and brake discs in the world. In fact, if you’re on a Japanese machine most likely it came from the factory with Sunstar. Sunstar offers the Works Triplestar combination that is lightweight, looks good, and from what I found out recently,…

In a world where most people think that two strokes are dead and four strokes rule, there is one company (or two depending on how you look at them) that has continued to progress two stroke technology. Husqvarna is one of three (KTM, Husky, and TM) motorcycle manufacturers who have released fuel…

People always ask me “Hey Keefer, when you going to build the inside of your Mercedes Sprinter Van”? I always come back with “I am not rich and I don’t have that kind of money”. Sure I would love to get some cabinets for chemicals and a tire rack in there, but I am not…
Electric motocross technology is not anything new. It has been in the off-road world for quite sometime, but getting one of the major five manufacturers to get on board with it has been somewhat difficult. Until now… My son’s first two wheeled motorcycle was an Oset electric trials bike and that proved to be the…

Winter is my favorite time of riding here in Southern California because the ground is moist and the traction is high, but contrary to what most of you east coasters think, the temperatures can drop down below freezing out here on the west coast. Unless you’re running a windproof jersey, most other…
