by Mark Zweig Of all the bikes I’ve owned over the last 53 years—that’s 300 plus—three of my top 10 motorcycles are 250s. The truth is that for 90-95 percent of the riding I do (or will ever do) at this point, a good-running 250 does everything I want it to do. The first of…

What a pleasure to host Rob Brooks from Road Dirt Magazine, an independent motorcycle magazine that is filling in the gap left by many of the bigger motorcycle industry publications in recent years.  Rob is a seasoned rider with a love of all things two wheels, but we think we got him hooked on the…

Tyler talks about his background, training, and role here at Janus maintaining bikes and helping customers around the country with parts and service. One of the many things that makes Janus very…

“Ridecraft” is a term we borrow from the long-distance riding community, a seasoned cast of riders who practice some of the most extreme riding possible. The holy grail of the “LD” community is the Iron Butt Rally, a grueling event that takes place every two years, ranging across the continent with participants gathering “points” by…
