How does one do a burn out on an AWD motorcycle? Simple, chain it to a big-ass post. Gregor Halenda, who I met on the photoshoot for the Silodrome + MotoLady Icon 1000 Akorp jacket review, teamed up with his studio partner Thomas Liggett to create this rather awesome video.
High fives all around.
The video shows footage of it on dirt, kicking up a lot of dust. It gave me goosebumps, that’s for sure. First thing I thought? I want to ride it!
I also really enjoy the engineer description of how it works. Watch the video and you’ll know what i mean (below).

Mary McGee is a pioneer in American motorcycle racing, thanks to her untamable determination and a spirit as warm as her smile. Her excitement for motorcycling, especially racing, is contagious even in her eighties. She was the first woman to receive an FIM racing license in the United States, first woman to complete the Baja 1000, and the first woman to race the Baja 500 solo. These aren’t her only firsts, either. She was also the first woman in motocross and road racing in the States. McGee was rightly inducted into the AMA Hall of Fame in 2018.
