Hi guys. We always keep a look out for motorcycles in the media, and here in California, it doesn’t get any bigger than the Govenator!

When California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger toured the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library and Museum a few days ago, he couldn’t help himself. He had to show off the 1991 Indian motorcycle that he rode in one of the Terminator movies.

While he was here, he toured the special exhibit at the museum of famous motorcycles, which range from a 1903 Harley-Davidson to a 2008 MV Agusta. But it also includes a collection of movie motorcycles. They include bikes ridden in films like, the Wild Wild West; Batman and Robin; Star Trek and the World’s Fastest Indian.

Stay tuned for more updates.

Hey guys, Jon here. Buell might soon be back in the roadbike business if the video showing a semi-road-legal 1190RR is to be believed. Check it out.

What you saw was an Erik Buell 11900RR race bike fitted with indicators and a cooling fan, neither as you know, are required items on the racetrack. “What gives?” indeed.

Legally, Erik Buell should soon be free of the contractual shackles preventing him from talking about or competing with Harley-Davidson. So, stay tuned and be sure to check out Buell Boards.

Hi guys, Paul here with an interesting application for those of you with iPhones. Scheduled to launch this Friday, it allows race fans to connect with each other at home and in the crowd as the superbike action unfolds.

To be released in time for the WSB Silverstone, Crowdsurfer connects Twitter users to share the action on the track, the banter in the crowd and gossip happening between users of the app at the event.

But never fret, even fans not at the event can join in too, getting a flavor of what it’s like to be there.

If you’re a fan of individual riders or teams you can even follow the tweets regarding your favorite racers and manufacturers.

The app will be available to download free from the iTunes store by Friday and will be usable for the remaining rounds of the British Superbike Championship.

The only problem I can foresee is that the massive amount of people using their phones at the same time can cause jams in the network. These kind of delays happen all the time in large crowds. Hopefully there is free Wi-Fi at the track to assist in the jam up.

Stay tuned and happy tweeting!

What’s up people? For those of our readers across the pond, Kawasaki is recalling around 1,000 ER6-f (Ninja 605r) models to replace the footguard and mounting bracket after it found in certain conditions can stop the rear brake being used effectively.

A Kawasaki statement reads: “Kawasaki has become aware that on some units of 2009 and 2010 ER-6f models, the rider’s footwear may contact the top edge of the lower right cowling when operating the rear brake. In a limited number of cases this can obstruct the rider from operating the rear brake pedal effectively.

“A recall letter will be sent to all warranty registered owners of eligible units asking them to contact their nearest authorized dealer to get the free of charge modifications done. The rectification work on each machine will take approximately 20 minutes to complete.”

So take them in Ninja owners. It’s free!

Stay tuned for more updates and be sure to check out Ninja Boards.
