The March 2008 issue of Canadian Biker is now in the mail and on newsstands. Exposing itself on the cover is the Hayabusa .... well a Hayabusa after removing the aerodynamic bits. The B-King is the most powerful naked bike on the market - what do you expect when you start with one of the most powerful non-naked bikes on the market? So powerful that the press launch for this street bike was confined to a racetrack as apparently there was a little problem with the law the last time the press gathered in Europe at the launch of the first Hayabusa.

Speaking of trouble with the law, we have a story on the notorious Deal's Gap also known as the Tail of the Dragon or the place where a lot of riders have expensive mishaps. Riders, and drivers, from around the world converge on this short section of road to test their skill. If your own estimation of your riding ability doesn't get you, the law will.

Speaking of riding ability, our own Betrand Gahel crosses the Atlantic and heads into the desert to test the new Kawasaki ZX-10R in Qatar. It is amazing how these bikes keep getting better.

For those with a touring interest, Steve Bond takes a sobering journey to Gettysburg aboard a Gold Wing.

Finally,if you like to read, and we know you do, John Campbell reviews a few of the new books on motorcycles and motorcycling. It is still winter, if yoou can't ride, read.
