    Hello Sparky! History of Ignition, Spark! Open Flame! Hot Tube! What?!

    We just want to light the fire, that's it! Kevin and Mark dive into all the different ways internal combustion engine builders have found to light the combustible air/fuel mixture. There has been spark, open flames(!), a thing called "hot tube" and more. Even compression can light off the charge, and we'll talk about that too. From magnetos to coil and points to fully electronic coil-on-plug ignitions with upward of 60,000 volts, we try to cover it all. Join us for the latest Cycle World podcast!

    Why Steel Pistons and Cylinder Heads? Why Now?

    In the early days of internal combustion engines, pistons were typically made of steel, but it wasn't long before aluminum took over (thanks, W.O. Bentley). But steel pistons and even cylinder heads are coming back in special applications. Kevin and Mark dive in to 3D printed steel pistons, turbo housings, and steel cylinder heads in F1 and other racing. The guys take a deep dive into boost, piston temperature, lean burn, diesel, additive manufacturing and so much more.

    Torque! Tolerance! HOW HARD DO WE TURN THE WRENCH?! Feel? Force? Learn about tightening bolts.

    "Don't want it to come loose!" This is true, but how many mangled fasteners and engine cases have you encountered? More than you'd like. So Kevin and Mark decided to talk torque, torque wrenches, lock nuts, fastener elasticity, sealing, and so much more. And what if you don't have a torque reference sheet for your bike? Learn fastener basics to help you have guidelines for fastener type and material, too. Lot's to talk about here. Grab your torque wrench and join us for the Cycle World podcast!

    Why OVERHEAD CAMS and How Did WE GET HERE?

    Kevin will start with atmospheric intake valves and someone from the 1800s, but for real we are talking about Overhead Cams here. Why has OHC become the standard for four-stroke-engine valve operation and what are its advantages. Also, you won't believe how old the technology is. Join Kevin and Mark for the bumpy world of cams above the head.

    Piston Rings! The Tiny Parts that Make Piston Engines Possible!

    Early attempts at sealing pistons in cylinders included hemp and other natural fibers. Today's piston rings are made of amazing metallic materials that allow motorcycle engines to last longer than ever. Kevin and Mark dive into piston rings from the early days to now and talk about cylinder finish, ring gap, "flutter," and so much more. Join them on the Cycle World podcast!

    Are Racers and Crew Chiefs Human? Inside the minds and talents of the world's best!

    In this week's episode, Cycle World Technical Editor Kevin Cameron and Editor-in-Chief Mark Hoyer talk about racers and crew chiefs and how their seeming supernatural powers relate to their humanity. Also, we have learned so much from these talented, intelligent people and share many stories about some of the greatest road racing riders and tuners of all time, how they win and how they progress.

    MORE Dream Bikes from the Mecum Las Vegas Auction 2026!

    Hey, there are more than 2000 bikes, and Kevin and Mark picked so many bikes for the first episode of the 2026 Mecum Las Vegas motorcycle auction that they wanted to keep going! Honda NSR400 to Vincents to one sweet Yamaha TR-2 350cc roadracer, it's another good time with some amazing bikes.

    Are HYBRID Motorcycles Dumb?

    Hybrid power can bring the best of electric and combustion power together, but does it make sense for motorcycles? Benda recently showed a hybrid prototype and Kawasaki has already taken the plunge. Technical Editor Kevin Cameron and Editor-in-Chief Mark Hoyer discuss hybrid power, including diesel electric trains and a Canadian company doing similar work on semi-trucks and a diesel hybrid pickup truck to retrofit your full-size bike hauler. Hop on and ride with us!
