Dirt-track racing is dead, or dying, say the critics, but you never would have known that at the Springfield Mile on Memorial Day weekend. The grandstands at the Illinois State Fairgrounds were packed and the entry lists were full to bursting, with 53 competitors signed up for the new 450cc Pro Singles class and 60 in the long-running Grand National Twins class. More impressive was the number of brands represented: six in the Singles class and eight in the Twins, the latter an all-time record.

If the music's too loud, you're too old.

Not done with it yet?! The freewheeling, curve-chasing hippie was long gone. It was the mid-'90s, and Jim was an executive at a tool-and-die company with two kids and a split-level on a few acres outside of town. The Guzzi had long been banished from the living room and now languished under an old blanket in a dark corner of the basement. It hadn't been started in at least 20 years.

Driving to Susanville, California, to pick up the bike, I didn't know what an H2 was or what to expect. I only knew what I was told-that it was an "old 750 streetbike." When the garage door opened and the sun shone in after 11 dark years, it was hard to be anything but disappointed. The poor Kawasaki was covered in dust and rough-yellowed carbs, frozen front brake, oil everywhere and just plain sad-looking. It would barely roll, much less start. I drove 550 miles for ths?

What you rode once upon a time says a lot about who you were. Or at least who you wanted Nancy Bliss and the Keahey twins to think you were. I'm not entirely immune to the national nostalgia epidemic. Certain facets of 1972 beat the h-e-double-hockey sticks out of 2009. If I'm honest, with myself at least, the AT2-M was not one of them. You can't go back home. If you try, it won't be the same. I drove by the old house once. Some aesthetically impaired band of heretics had painted the garage purple and there was a '78 Honda CX500 decomposing in the driveway. Revisionist history leaves Memory Lane undisturbed while allowing a detour to the way you wanted things to be. To those who actually owned a spanky-new 183-lb. CR125 back in high school and never had to i.d. some corroded steel frame as the skeletal remains of your 50-horsepower RD400D: You've had your fun. This is my story.

Way back in 1975, the AMA 125cc Motocross Nationals came to St. Charles, Missouri, not far from my home in St. Louis. The buzz around high school and the local bike shops was like a beehive as my friends and I made plans to go see the Pros race.

According to Arlo Guthrie's anti-war anthem, Alice's Restaurant, the Group W bench is where you sit if you "may not be moral enough to join the Army after committing your special crime." While there aren't any father-rapers in Group W Racing (I don't think), there's no shortage of doctors, firefighters, deep-sea fisherman, former big-bike racers and other Type A-plus adrenaline junkies. And, just like the misfits in Guthrie's song, the raggedy Group W crew has more fun than anyone else in the paddock.

The Convertible idea is nothing new. It's been rolling around Harley-Davidson's collective consciousness since Driving Miss Daisy took the Best Picture Oscar. But this time, the only Big Twin that goes from two-up tourer to stripped-down showpiece in 2 minutes flat rolls out of Harley's Custom Vehicle Operations-official source of Milwaukee's most powerful style, delivered in (relatively) small quantities at premium prices. Where previous Convertibles were based on the more commonsensical Dyna platform, the 2010 CVO is the newest member of the explicitly stylish Softail family, replacing the '09 Road Glide in Harley's annual rotation of its high-end lineup. And unlike the rest of this year's CVO roster, it has no counterpart in Harley's mainstream lineup. You want a Convertible? Step over to the CVO side of the showroom.

The Honda SH150i may be unknown in the United States, but it's been zooming off showroom floors in Europe. In fact, Honda says it's the best-selling feet-forward machine in scooter-crazy Italy, land of Vespa/Aprilia/Piaggio. Surprised? Me too. But maybe we shouldn't be. The reasonably priced, mid-size SH150i is everything a scooter rider wants. With plenty of power, high-tech brakes and a modern, sporty style, I can see why the SH150i is king.

Rather than enjoying the holiday with my family and friends, I spent last Christmas in the basement of my parents' house on Cape Cod. That trip was my only opportunity to disassemble and ship my father Todd's vintage Honda CB350 racebike to California in time for the AHRMA National at Willow Springs in April.

Little Bikes, Big Mission
The Lake Erie Loop Road Rally
The small cluster of supporters are craning their heads westward, listening for a distinct sound. Fat chance hearing it: The kids blasting through the tidy, Clare-Mar Lakes Campground in rural Wellington, Ohio, make more than enough noise to drown out the tiny, pea-shooter streetbikes that left here some 10 hours ago. Nevertheless, supporters of the annual Lake Erie Loop road rally-where riders complete a bum-chapping, 650-mile lap around the fourth-largest Great Lake on motorcycles with engines smaller than 200cc-are committed to their quixotic cause. "When we tell people about the ride, a lot of them think we're crazy, but after you've done it, you realize that riding a small bike that far is really a lot of fun," explains Joyce Murar, the Loop's official timekeeper.

If ever there was a bike that would have benefited from fuel injection, it was the 2006-'09 Honda CRF250R. Even with its phenomenal chassis and light handling, the previous 250R was held back by its lack of fueling refinement, notorious for bogging and a bear to jet right. Thank goodness for the 2010 CRF250R.

Brrrrrrzzzzzz... I'll never forget the sound. Except I had: I'd forgotten the noise my Honda CR125 Elsinore's constant-mesh transmission made when I downshifted. I hadn't forgotten its light handling and pipey powerband, nor the sweet smell of premix coupled with freshly overturned earth. But I have to admit it smelled better than I remembered after decade of inhaling acrid race gas and adobe dust.

First Look
The old Indian Motorcycles' last big sales boom came immediately after World War II. Returning GIs snapped up Chiefs and Scouts and hit the highways in droves, attempting to recapture a bit of the adrenaline-inducing excitement they experienced fighting in the Pacific Theater or along the Western Front. The new Indian Motorcycles looks back to those glory years now with two new models featuring military-style paint schemes.
