Motorcycle Parking Patent Italy
#Patent #Parking #Motorcycle - Securely parking your motorcycle, whether you just went round the world or just went shopping, means you are going to spend time being anxious. Anyone can steal your motorcycle, and the other 'issue' is storing your helmet and other riding gear in a safe place.

Two Italians recently filed a patent for a parking bay. We've seen parking bays before, many of them pretty good but cumbersome since they store the whole bike. This patent only calls for a small storage space for your gear, the bike is immobilized by clamping the front wheel...........

#MotoGP #SanMarin #Ducati #MotoX2 - While visiting the San Marino MotoGP at the Misano circuit, I saw the incredible Ducati MotoX2 event. For those of you who don't know what the Ducati MotoX2 is, it's a pillion ride on a motorcycle. That's it, just a ride as a pillion on a motorcycle. However .... the motorcycle in question is a MotoGP bike, fitted with an extra saddle for a pillion, and the rider is either former professional MotoGP racers Randy Mamola or Franco Battaini. So maybe not that simple of a ride.

The event is for VIPs or for people willing to pay the money to allow them to walk around with a brown streak in their underpants. In other words, the pillion is not going for a leisurely tour on one of several leading race circuits in the world. The pillion will know what it feels like going around a race circuit at very high speeds...........

#Radar #Contractors #Spain - It is not a new thing for many countries, but it is new for Spain. Using private contractors for the purchase, installation, operation and administration of radars, speed and red light, is common in countries like USA and UK. But for the first time in Spain, it is being done as well, and as usual, there are a few eyeball raising differences.

The Spanish towns of Montgat and Mollet have hired Bibomatica to install and maintain several speed and red light cameras in their cities. Bibomatica will get as payment 30% of the proceeds of all fines issued by those cameras, in other words, they will be paid a commission...........
