BMW New Facebook Timeline Posted: 30 Mar 2012 12:00 AM PDT For those of you who aren't on Facebook, a "Timeline" is Facebook's attempt to show your history, starting at a date in the past whenever you decide. You can show the day you came into this crazy world, the day you went to jail, or when your company got created. Posting photos and articles, matched with a date, will create a timeline on your Facebook page. BMW have done exactly that, and it looks great. You can go back to 1932 and move yourself upwards through their timeline, looking at BMW's colorful history. Articles, photos and video illustrate their history.

• France: Contest A Fine, You Are Now In The Computer Systems

Video: Finally A Good Harley-Davidson Commercial Posted: 29 Mar 2012 09:00 AM PDT It has been a while since I've seen a good Harley-Davidson motorcycle TV commercial, in fact it has been a VERY long time, but this advertisement does the trick. It's not a "in your face" ad, nor is it about having an alternative lifestyle, but more subtle, and more realistic. It's about dreaming, and tht's what motorcycle riding is all about. ...

600cc Yamaha Engine With A Vespa Scooter Wrapped Around It Posted: 29 Mar 2012 05:00 AM PDT What do you do when you have a Vespa 50 scooter lying around doing nothing, and a spare Yamaha FZR600 engine gathering dust? One is a 50cc scooter, the other a powerful 600cc motorcycle engine... That's a dilemma that someone in Italy had, and he solved it by taking the Yamaha engine and wrapping the Vespa scooter around it.

France: Contest A Fine, You Are Now In The Computer Systems Posted: 28 Mar 2012 11:00 PM PDT It just keeps getting worse and worse. Running up to the elections, politicians are doing the craziest things to get noticed. The latest comes from the reigning political party, who have been repressing cars and motorcycle drivers since they have been in power. With automatic radars distributing fines like little croissants, making it impossible for people to contest a speeding fine (they have already been condemned by the European Court of Human Rights - see related articles below), the government have now added a step to prevent people from contesting speeding fines, even if the fines are not justified. They do this by scaring the Beejeezus out of them.... As off the 16th of March of this year, the government has authorized the creation of a computer system, named ARES, that will record the details of every person who contests a fine. They'll record data like vehicles, name, address and even profession. In other words, "we've got your name, and we know where you live!"

The organizers are opening the circuit for all and their dogs (or bikes). But the really interesting thing about this open circuit is that they plan to allow you to ride your motorcycle AT NIGHT. Friday the 13th of April (for some it's lucky, for some it's unlucky), starting at 21:00 (9 PM) until midnight, there will be several "trackday" sessions, allowing you to race on the circuit for 3 laps at night.

France: Mandatory Audible White Lines Posted: 26 Mar 2012 11:00 PM PDT A strange law has recently passed here in France undetected, that does not have many applications, but can cause harm to motorcycle riders. It's a law applied to statistics that have been liberally analyzed, and has so many escape clauses that it'll not be applied in many areas. Your government at work for you, spending you money.... ...
