France: New Premium Motorcycle Manufacturer Coming? Posted: 13 Jun 2013 09:00 AM PDT #Motorcycle #New #France - I was killing some time and looking through the wanted advertisements of the motorcycle recruiting site MotoRecrute (honest boss, I'm not looking for another better paid job) when I stumbled upon this job ad: "Responsable Développement Réseau International" which means "Head of International Development".

According to the manufacturer's websites, almost all of them are accessible via Bluetooth, and for convenience sake, the Bluetooth code is shown on the site (it's "0000"). The software that you need to run to setup the radar is freely downloadable on the sites as well. No password, no id .... just download. ...

Harley-Davidson Is Blessed. Official Posted: 12 Jun 2013 11:00 PM PDT #Pope #HarleyDavidson #Blessing - There are many occasions and events where a priest blesses a group of motorcycles. But this is more than a priest... it's the Pope himself. Pope Francis blessed 1,400 motorcycles, all of them Harley-Davidsons, who had gathered at St. Peter's Square in the Vatican to celebrate the 110th anniversary of the Milwaukee brand. The Pope was even presented with two Harley-Davidsons and a black leather jacket. So now the Pope has two Ducati Multistradas (see related) and two Harley-Davidson. But are we going to see the man ride around on one of them, wearing the black leather jacket? ...
