MotoGP 2023

Round one – Portimão


The regular pre-season banter at the Portimao press conference that heralded the start of the 2023 season overnight saw a number of MotoGP stars asked to make their choice for MotoGP, Moto2, Moto3 and MotoE champions.

While many riders chose themselves as champions and Pecco Bagnaia was ranked as a favorite overall, there were a few notable exceptions.

Jack Miller gave the title to Marc Marquez, Luca Marini chose Pecco, while both Johann Zarco and Joan Mir typed themselves.

Mo’Cycle Airbag Pants Win Traffic Safety Innovation Award

The French government has just presented a new road safety innovation prize the world’s first commercially available motorcycle airbag jeans — and to say Mo’Cycle is thrilled is the understatement of the year.

For reference, Mo’Cycle’s neat pant number popped up in our feed in the first quarter of last year, with the company touting its airbag pant as being crash tested and legal from 2021.

Fast forward to 2023, and despite hits like airtime on both The Drew Barrymore Show and The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon, delays had taken over the production schedule.

Now the company is back on track and adding another feather to the proverbial hat thanks to le Gouvernement Français.

“Woohoo – we just won the Traffic Safety Innovation Award in Paris, France – an award presented by the French government!” celebrates founder Moses Shahrivar in the brand’s recent coverage.

“From day one, our number one goal has been to save lives on the streets – and we’re just getting started. Receiving this award is a great honor and a great indicator that we’re on the right track! Thank you for bringing us here. We couldn’t have done it without your support!”

With the pants nearing completion of their IndieGogo campaign (and the founder himself providing his number for people to contact with questions and the ability to save on canisters of CO2), we’re keeping our fingers crossed that the world’s first commercial available motorcycle pants will soon be made available to the public.

Friday Forum Foraging: 2022 Kawasaki H2 Carbon

It’s posts like this that helped spark the idea for these Friday Forum Foraging posts in the first place. This particular one is from one of our sister sites, NinjaH2.org. We do not know the seller or the circumstances that led him to sell this basically new 2022 Kawasaki H2 Carbon with only four miles on it, but this is definitely exceptional. And we like that here.

For those who don’t know, the Kawasaki H2 Carbon is basically Kawasaki’s street-legal land rocket. Built to go fast in a straight line, its aggressive and streamlined looks are matched only by the supercharged 1000cc four-cylinder. The H2 and its variants are absolutely wild, and this supercharged engine is one of the coolest powerplants to ever grace a production motorcycle. If the urge to own one appeals to you and you’re anywhere near Orlando with 35-big in your pocket, maybe give this person a call. His (or her) full list is below, but follow the link below for two more pictures and contact information.


2022 H2 Carbon, has 4 miles on it. I bought it and parked it at my parents house and flew back to NY for work. I’ve never ridden it. it’s basically brand new. I had the dealer ship it to my mother’s garage. 2 keys included, 1 open, the other still in blue packaging. Extended warranty included. $35,500
