Italy: No Congestion Charges For Motorcycles In Milan Posted: 16 Jan 2012 08:00 AM PST The authorities in Milan, Italy are using their grey matter. A first? Maybe, but at least motorcycles will profit from this moment of lucidity. January 16th 2012 sees the start of a congestion charge into the inner center of Milan, called Area C.

Dakar2012: Day 14 and Final Posted: 15 Jan 2012 11:15 PM PST Last day of the famous Dakar rally, and in the motorcycle category, Cyril Depres has won. It's his 4th title, one more than his arch-rival Marc Coma. It was not an easy 3 weeks for either of them. For the spectators, we could not have asked for a better race, since it was played until Day 13 within seconds of each other. This made the race very interesting to watch. Congratulations to both Cyril and Marc for making this year so interesting to follow. BTW: Not only did motorcycle riders win the motorcycle category, obviously, but the top 2 in the car category were/are bikers, both having won the Dakar on a motorcycle. So to win the Dakar, you really need to be a motorcycle rider, maybe a lesson for Robby Gordon. ...

But still, it's pretty cold in Puente Duero, and the bikers had fun. It's not the Elephant Rally, but still up there for cold weather motorcycle riding. ...
