It’s official, the snow bike has arrived. No, we’re not talking about those hilariously oversized fat tire pedal bikes that are all the rage right now. We are referring to a bona fide dirt- or enduro- bike where one swaps out the wheels and knobby tires...
A beautiful Guzzi, a passion, a worthy cause, and 'being right in that moment'. Kudos to Union Garage for their bittersweet production of "This Particular Ride". This short film chronicles Steve Kupershmid's participation in The Distringuished Gentleman's Ride and his contribution toward trying to make...
This is a great reminder that the MotoFun doesn't need to stop when liquid turns to a solid, and we need to get to Italy when the tourists are gone. Ciao! ...
During the dead of winter in North America a very unique spectacle occurs each year. Thousands of people descend upon the large frozen inland waters of Lake Winnebago in central Wisconsin to take their chance at spearing a very large and elusive prehistoric fish known...
The legendary Cowes-Torquay-Cowes endurance powerboat race finished Sunday in what will go down as the roughest in the event’s 56-year history. Thirty two to 38 mph winds stirred up 13-19-foot seas – challenging competitors and equipment. The 190-mile endurance race was created in 1961 by newspaper tycoon and...

Here at the Q Crew HQ, a fair chunk of folks are out of the office this Friday trying to wring out that last bit of summer bonding time with friends and family while the weather is still spectacular above the Mason-Dixon line. That bittersweet time...
Alright QCrew, we all do it sometimes. When hanging out at the race track after an event, after taking off our helmets and gloves and opening our first beverage after the track has gone cold for the day, we speak disparagingly of a highly shined “garage queen” car or bike sitting in the infield. But we petrolheads are really a welcoming lot, and in a quieter moment away from the smell of race fuel and the adrenaline of fresh competition we will admit to admiring the art and elegance of the classics. In fact, some of us actually attend and participate in car shows and – gasp – even a Concours d’Elegance from time to time.
On Sunday, September 25th, 2016, tens of thousands of distinguished gentlefolk in hundreds of cities worldwide will don their cravats, tweak their moustaches, press their tweed and sit astride their classic and vintage styled motorcycles to raise funds and awareness for men's health, specifically prostate...
Our friend Kevin Hill named this outstanding 1983 BMW R100RS custom build “Quicksilver” after us (about 50 years after us, but that’s another story). This very clean ‘silver on silver’ cafe racer features contrasting slate grey leather, fully adjustable period handle bars, Raask rearsets, front and rear Brembo brakes, and Hagon shocks. Black upswept cocktail shaker mufflers that make this 1000cc flat twin sound really raucous.
Read moreAs you know, the QCrew is no stranger to Land Speed Record Racing (Quicksilver Motorcycle Land Speed Record). After a couple years of bad conditions on the salt at Bonneville it is a thrill to see new records being set again. Danny Thompson’s story of setting a new piston powered record of over 400 miles per hour last week (August 14, 2016) is particularly inspiring because he did it to fulfill a dream of his father, Mickey, in his original racer from 40 year ago.
