LaShundra is a former Marine, so as you might imagine, she’s made of stern stuff. Associate Editor Teejay Adams chats with LaShundra Rucker, founder and owner of Sportbike Chic, a motorcycle apparel and accessories retailer for women.
This second segment brings us a young lady that I personally admire very much. The bike is really very different from the ADV version launched earlier this year, so I’m sure you’ll be interested to hear what he has to say. Senior Editor Nic de Sena rode it in sketchy weather conditions in the mountains above Palm Springs. This week’s episode brings you the Ducati Multistrada V4 Pikes Peak edition. Season’s Greeting to you all! The team here at Ultimate Motorcycling wishes every one of you a happy and relaxing holiday-I think we’ve all earned it!

Type: Two-stroke single cylinder with a reed intake directly into the crankcase.The stock Ossa footpegs are fine, but the Raptor titanium pegs are a nice little upgrade. They have a flatter bend, so most riders will find the S3 bars to be more comfortable than stock. You can’t ask for more, and you wouldn’t want less.Īlthough many of the modifications to the Ossa by Lewisport USA in Copperopolis, California are aesthetic or for reliability, the replacement of the stock bars with S3 bars does improve the ergonomics for the average rider. The feel is superb and they can be locked up when necessary. Brakes are pretty much standard issue on the Ossa TR280i. No surprises happen, as long as you have a steady hand on the throttle-twist it hard and the fuel-injected two-stroke is ready to rumble, big time. Placing the front wheel where you want it is easy, and the rest of the bike goes where you intend. Floaters are effortless and the bike does not fatigue the rider. The ultra light weight of the bike and compact chassis with mass centralization means the bike is extremely agile.
