Congratulation to the Hayden Family
We all celebrate last week’s induction of Nicky Hayden to the Motorsports Hall of Fame of America, and American Honda congratulates the family of the late road race and dirt track star. While the Hall of Fame is located at Daytona International Speedway, this year’s ceremony was held at the M1 Concourse in Pontiac, Michigan.
The award was presented by former Honda team manager Gary Mathers and received by Nicky’s younger brother Roger Hayden; Roger also kicked off the event by riding a lap of honor aboard a Repsol edition CBR1000RR while carrying the American flag, as Nicky often did following his major wins.

With so many amazing two- and four-wheeled vehicles to choose from, here’s what caught our eye.
By Matt Crisara
Ask anyone to define overlanding and they’ll tell you something along the lines of “self-reliant travel to remote destinations where the journey is just as rewarding as the destination.” Every year, Overland Expo showcases the best go-anywhere products and vehicles that the industry has to offer. Despite the copious amounts of gear on display, it’s no good if you don’t have the proper steed to fit
it to. Whether that’s on two wheels, four wheels, or no wheels, below you’ll find the craziest factory vehicles and passion projects that caught my eye at the 2021 installment of Overland Expo West.

William Shatner will launch into
space with Blue Origin on Oct. 12
By Meghan Bartels
Captain Kirk will boldly go where some men have gone before, on a suborbital flight aboard Blue Origin's New Shepard launch system.
Actor William Shatner of "Star Trek" fame and Blue Origin's Audrey Powers, the vice president of missions and flight operations, will fill the last two seats on the company's second crewed flight, due to blast off from New Shepard's west Texas launch site in just over a week, on Oct. 12. Rumors were swirling in late September that the 90-year-old actor would be on the company's second flight, which today's announcement confirms.
"So now I can say something," Shatner wrote on Twitter today. "Yes, it's true; I'm going to be a 'rocket man!'"
