Here is a collection of Newsletters written by Pat  "MotoMan" McGivern in the USA. While this guy is a bit of a lark he is definitely an out of the box thinker, and likes modifying motorcycles to go fast and reliably, so his stuff is worth reading. His website is http://mototuneusa.com and you can pick through the originals of his articles here: http://mototuneusa.com/thanx.htm. However it appears he is no longer updating them (for over a year as at 4/07), and he encourages spreading his philosophy, so a copy of the more interesting ones has been archived here to ensure the ongoing education / amusement of fellow motorcyclists:
