Harley Davidson repair and customizing, but really only projects that normal people would do.

0 to 60 mph times. 40 to 60 mph times. 1/4 mile times.

Slalom times. Breaking distance at 60 mph. Real life mpg.

Opinions are biased so give me lots of photos of stock bikes and let me know the specs.

I think Iron Horse meets most of what you mentioned except for the road tests. Most of the bikes are things we could actually build or modify,

I picked upmy first copy of Thunder Press last week and I found it to be much more of what I'm looking for in a bike publication. The articles are written by people you would expect to run into at a Wawa streching their legs and drinking a coffee instead of people who don't put more than 500 miles on their bike a year because they don't want to mess up the $5,000 paint job.

Check out American Rider or the new one Motorcycle Escape<--found at most major bookstores. Lots of down to earth tech articles, rides, testing rider gear...

I like reading about tripsthat people do on their bikes. Gives me more ideas on new places to visit. I also like the tech tips.
