Interested in having us add a link to your web site? We'd be glad to do so if your organization meets our simple guidelines. In short, we link to non-profit recreation organizations, NMA advertising businesses and NMA motorcycle clubs.

See our complete Link Guidelines.

Please Note:
We do not link to commerical web sites (businesses that sell goods or services) unless they are an NMA advertising business. This guideline supports the NMA being a non-profit organization.

Triva Fact In the 1970's, two bikes featured more than the common 5 speed transmission. The Hercules offered 7 speeds, and Husqvarna made 8 speed desert bikes. Sounds like a good idea, a gear for every need. Problem is that stuffing the cases full of so many gears required they be quite thin, and prone to breakage. And, the typical long lever throw of early European mounts made sure there was a false neutral between each of those gears.
