#Yamaha #MT-09 #Advertisement - Unless you've been disconnected from the internet in the last week or so, you'll have noticed that Yamaha have launched their new MT-09 motorcycle. A stunner and what looks like a fun motorcycle.

Here's their launch video they used to promote the bike. In the video you see several MT-09 motorcycles riding at night in Japan by what you could describe as "hooligans".

This looks like a fun bike. The TV commercial is well filmed, plenty of action and great shots.

#Miniatures #Motorcycles #Artist - Having two left hands, I am totally incapable of doing anything with my hands, unless you include typing on a keyboard. Anything I touch will stop working, melt, burn or totally disintegrate. It's therefore that I have an utmost admiration for people who can do things with their hands; mechanics, doctors, builders, artists and in this case, toy makers.

Satoshi Araki is a Japanese toy maker, although the word "toy" is totally out of place. It's art in all its meanings, so incredibly detailed and well done, it's just a marvel to look at.

Satoshi makes a lot of these miniatures, ranging from our own passion, motorcycles to cars, boats, sci-fi figures to full replicas of scenes. He is currently working on a miniature replica set of Gotham City in all its glory and detail...........

#Parking #Fines #Politics - On the 7th of June, the French senate voted for the decriminalization of parking fines. I guess many of you didn't know that it was a crime to badly park your motorcycle, but that means it's time to rejoice ... right?

WRONG. In fact, it's a bad thing. By having bad parking a "crime" meant that it was the government that decided what the fine was. And all over France, the fine for bad parking is €17. It doesn't matter if you are in Paris or in a small shit-kicker town down South, it was going to cost you €17 if you forgot to feed the parking meter, or just parked your motorcycle on the sidewalk.

But now that it's decriminalized, it's up to the commune to decide how much you will pay...........
