Seeing What Is Behind You On A Motorcycle Posted: 30 Nov 2011 08:00 AM PST We all know by know that motorcycle mirrors don't show the whole picture. How many pucker moments have we had when overtaking, to find out that some crazed cager has crept up behind us? Here's a product that might help your safety, and it's not a machine gun. A centrally mounted mirror with 180° visibility. It's called Riderscan. ...

The Paris Motorcycles and Scooters Exhibition 2011 Posted: 30 Nov 2011 04:00 AM PST The French motorcycle exhibition, the "Le Salon de la Moto" opened its doors after 4 years absence. What used to be called the "Mondial", and what was a real international motorcycle show, has turned into a small provincial exhibition. Apart from a few minor new things, the show was lackluster. Placing it after Eicma makes it even look worse. Here's a few photos I took, after a big struggle to be let in. ...

On My Way Back, Guess What I Picked Up? Posted: 29 Nov 2011 10:00 PM PST If everything went according to plans, I should be heading back to the office from Paris, after the Paris Motorcycle Exhibition 2011. As usual, you get loaded down with press packs from any self-respecting motorcycle manufacturer, so I guess I should be something like this: ...

• WTF of the Week: Moped Apehanger
• Vietnam: Using Fishnets To Stop Motorcycles

Ads: Yamaha Motorcycle Helmets - Oxi-Sanitation Posted: 29 Nov 2011 03:02 AM PST Yamaha not only make motorcycles, but they also sell helmets. And as we know, circulating air in our helmets is important, since it minimizes fog, and brings in fresh, cool, air. But helmets are also bacteria traps, especially when you're sick. Yamaha Brazil are advertising their helmets with Oxi-Sanitation, meaning the helmets are aired properly and should be bacteria free. Here are three of their ads, by the FAM Agency from Brazil. ...

WTF of the Week: Moped Apehanger Posted: 29 Nov 2011 04:00 AM PST I can't imagine anyone making this on purpose. I rather assume it's a college prank gone too far. Why would anyone transform a motorcycle, let alone a moped, into this.... Just look at it.... see the wicker basket??? ...

Vietnam: Using Fishnets To Stop Motorcycles Posted: 28 Nov 2011 10:00 PM PST Interesting, but very dangerous, way of stopping speeding motorcycle in Vietnam.... ...Throw a fishnet over the rear tire!!! I prefer the solution in the photo.. ...

• 32 Photos Of John Deere Motorcycles
• On My Way To The Paris Motorcycle Exhibition 2011
• Bernie Ecclestone On A Ducati Motorcycle

32 Photos Of John Deere Motorcycles Posted: 28 Nov 2011 04:00 AM PST The John Deere colors are probably one of the most recognizable colors in the world. John Deere agricultural equipment can be found in any part of the globe, so the green and yellow is something many people immediately identify as John Deere. So it's no surprise that many motorcycle owners customize their bike in John Deere's colors. We've showed a few customized motorcycles in John Deere colors in the past, but here's a much bigger list, 32 photos (some are of the same motorcycle). It's not only Harley-Davidson, but BMW, Yamaha, Moto Guzzi, Kawasaki, Boss Hoss and even a diesel motorcycle that are "victim" of the John Deere craze. ...

On My Way To The Paris Motorcycle Exhibition 2011 Posted: 28 Nov 2011 04:00 AM PST I'm on the way to the Paris motorcycle exhibition, the "Le Salon de la Moto" 2011. They've been not active for four years, thanks to the financial crisis, but now are back with a vengeance. Hopefully, there'll be some new motorcycles, but I doubt it.. ...

Bernie Ecclestone On A Ducati Motorcycle Posted: 27 Nov 2011 10:00 PM PST Looks like the Formula One Supreme Leader, Bernie Ecclestone, would rather be on a Ducati motorcycle than in one of his boring F1 cars.... ....and I can't blame him. ...

• Video: Hemorrhoids? Sperti Helps On A Motorcycle
• Colombia: More Bikers Against Kidnapping

UK: AA Orders Many More Honda Motorcycles Posted: 25 Nov 2011 08:00 AM PST The British Automobile Association, the AA, is very happy with Honda. After having used Honda Silverwing 600 scooters and Honda 700 Deauville motorcycle sin the big cities, they've now purchased 50 Honda Pan European motorcycles. The motorcycles are used in the big cities to rescue stranded cars, since repairs cars take too long to reach their destination. ...

Video: Hemorrhoids? Sperti Helps On A Motorcycle Posted: 25 Nov 2011 04:00 AM PST Some PR agencies are more creative than others. The KOEN agency in The Netherlands wanted to show a good case of what hemorrhoids can do, so they hired some poor blokes to ride down Amsterdam on their motorcycle. They were told to ride standing up, and on the back was a big sign, saying "Hemorrhoids? You don't want to sit with that. Sperti Helps". Funny, unless you're the motorcycle rider.... ...

Colombia: More Bikers Against Kidnapping Posted: 24 Nov 2011 10:00 PM PST Last week we already showed you the motorcycles against kidnapping in Colombia, but here's another photo of a biker with a banner saying "No more FARC". ...

• New Max Social Media Motorcycle Helmets
• Happy Thanksgiving Day 2011
• Egypt: Motorcycles Back As Ambulances

New Max Social Media Motorcycle Helmets Posted: 24 Nov 2011 04:00 AM PST I guess social media is all the rage with people and companies, but using them for motorcycle helmets seems a bit strange to me. Italian motorcycle & scooter manufacturer New Max has released a helmet called "Max The Social Network Helmet". The helmet has Facebook decals splattered over it, but what sets it apart from other plain vanilla helmets is that the back of the helmet is a blank white area. The area has been treated, and can be used to write on with a magic marker. ...

Happy Thanksgiving Day 2011 Posted: 24 Nov 2011 08:00 AM PST Happy Thanksgiving Day to you all. Eat, relax and be prepared for Black Friday. In fact, this is going to be the first time ever that I have a Thanksgiving Day dinner. Some American friends are coming over Saturday, and one flew in from the US with a turkey. So we'll be 12 eating and stuffing our faces with a real American Thanksgiving Day turkey, and we're even having pumpkin-pie for dessert. ...

Egypt: Motorcycles Back As Ambulances Posted: 23 Nov 2011 10:00 PM PST Looks like things have flared up again in Cairo, Egypt, and motorcycles are pressed into service as ambulances. It's tough out there, so hang in boys & girls. Keep it up, you know you'll win. Eventually, the military will give in. ...
