International Motorcycle Supershow and CMRC/AMO Awards Banquet Photos By Billy Rainford It’s bike show season across the continent. The first one on the list here in Southwestern Ontario is the International Motorcycle Supershow at the International Centre in Toronto.

Faces at the Races – Anaheim 1 By Billy Rainford Photos by Tyler Spikman (@spikman) It’s been too long since we’ve been able to get to one of these columns!

McThoughts: The Weston Peick/Vince Friese ‘Incident’ By Jeff McConkey By now, everyone has seen the Weston Peick/Vince Friese incident over and over again.

Vince has a history of questionable riding. Some call it dirty, and few just think
McThoughts: 450 Supercross – A1 By: Jeff McConkey Photos by: Tyler Spikman @spikman A1 went off on Saturday night. We’ve been waiting a long time and it didn’t disappoint.

Frid’Eh Update Presented by Scott Motosports By Jeff McConkey and Billy Rainford We’ve tuned the page on another year. Yep, we’ve come all the way around to Week #1 here at the old Frid’Eh Update desk. Technically, last Frid’Eh was the first Friday of the year, but it fell directly on New Year’s Day so we felt it better to get things rolling this week instead. It may mean we
