Remembering this was a buddy’s borrowed bike I backed off a bit but not for long as Nathan’s “Killer Bee” Yamaha RD350 just kept begging for more.

Return of the Dominator
Carlo Gagliardo (10), otherwise known as “The Dominator” to SEMRA members, returned to his dominating form in round three at Baker’s Creek Karting Club.

Mashed Potato Motorbikes – Honda Rebel
While there will always be the ultra-expensive Harley V-Rods and Ducati Desmosedici of the world, there are some great everyday bikes that can regularly be found for under $2500. They might not necessarily be the fastest in their class or made from unobtanium, but they’re great at serving their intended purpose whatever that may be.
