Audi (again) may sell Ducati
Under direction from VW Group, Audi is considering the sale of Ducati under new "use it or lose it" guidelines. Audi's strategy moving forward will be to either expand the profitable Ducati line, or sell off the brand entirely to focus on core products. Either way, Ducati's future could get interesting.
Sold for $3k: A Honda CT90 in BMX style
James LaRossa of Lossa Engineering took the fun of stuffing cards in your bike spokes as a kid and incarnated it from the chopped frame of a CT90. The frame-as-gas-tank is an especially nice touch. The bike just sold for a little over $3,000 on eBay. That's a lot of fun for three grand, if you ask me.
Thank you to all the people in my corner that believe in me and to my team @jgrmx for supporting me through this nightmare year. Patience always tastes bitter but the aftertaste is so… https://t.co/gcWLUgJWW8

Hanoi banning motorcycles by 2030
A concerning trend continues. Yet another city announced plans to ban motorcycles, citing pollution concerns as justification for a ban of all motorcycles in Vietnam's capital city. That gives them over a decade to come to their senses, at least.
