Sub-$1,000 Motorcycles, 400 Miles,
Two Days, One Trophy
by Andy Greaser
A few weeks ago, I told the story of rescuing a crashed 1994 Kawasaki EX500 to enter in the Reliability Rally, a two-day, 400-mile challenge of riding and wrenching abilities. As promised, here are my log entries from the “Wild and Worrisome” run in West Virginia.
If you missed The Preparation, the RR rules are simple. Motorcycles must have a purchase price under $1,000 to enter. Rally competitors can spend as much as they want on mods, restoration, and safety items, so the bikes range from barely functional to near-mint. That thousand-dollar limit doesn’t mean that everyone is riding equally crappy motorcycles; getting battered bikes back on the road
encompasses the spirit of the event. After all, any motorcycle under a grand will have its issues. Some are worse than others...

Todd Rundgren
What a great Todd Rundgren song - especially with a group of his friends. Why was this never a hit? Song comes in at 2:40 but interview is worth watching.

More than cheap and cheerful, the Benelli TNT 135 is a quality option
By Phil Suriano
Back in 2017, Benelli burst onto the small bike scene with their TNT 125, battling against the likes of Honda’s Grom and the Kawasaki Z125 Pro. This year, Benelli has brought a new weapon to the funky LAMS commuter fight in the form of the TNT 135: a model that arrives with a price tag to match its compact size and delivers bundles of urban riding fun without scaling down the quality, either.
