March Website of the Month Twistgrip.com

Years ago this great little motorcycle magazine came & went for a brief season. It was more than just a motorcycle magazine it was a magazine that celebrated the actual lifestyle of people who rode real motorcycles on a frequent or daily basis. Articles such as “A real ride real cheap” warmed the hearts of those of us who are going to ride a motorcycle whether we can buy one new or if we have to cobble it together out of scrounged parts. Plus there was an edge to the editorial stance of the staff, no they weren’t gratuitously offensive but what was said or felt is what got printed.

Now let me warn you up front, this website has not been updated in years. You can try the free stickers links if you wish but I doubt it works anymore. Go read the articles! Hell the archives of Art Bennett’s old column Stressed Member are worth going to the website for even if there were nothing else.

Rust In Pieces

XS650 engine not running

Remains of a classic oriental twin

This old Yamaha sat outside of my shop for years, before being completely cannibalized & scrapped.

This negative image of the whole bike makes a neat wallpaper if you like it.
