from our Roving Guest Blogger

Proper etiquette while group riding has as much to do with safety as it does with manners.

Over the years designers have come up with schemes using belts, shafts and even cables to flexibly transmit power.

Robert Hackstetter claims to have cracked the problem and offers the world's first "All wheel Drive 1 liter Superbike."
