27 Postage Stamps With Motorcycles From Around The World - Part 2 Posted: 04 Mar 2013 08:00 AM PST Part 2 of the motorcycle stamps series from around the world. There are people who love motorcycles, and there are people who love collecting postage stamps, and believe it or not, there are people who love both. Over the years most postal services around the world have issued stamps with motorcycles on them. Here is but a small collection of stamps, literally from around the world, with motorcycles on them. Some old, some new. .......... I particularly like the Equatorial Guinea stamps, with drawing of all the classic motorcycle racers from years ago. Very nice. ...........Click on the headline to continue reading this story....... ...

More Info On The Electric Toyota i-Road Motorcycle/Trike Posted: 04 Mar 2013 04:00 AM PST #Electric #EV - In January of this year, Japanese car maker Toyota, teased the world press with a picture of a new electric vehicle they were planning to launch in Geneva, the i-Road. From the photo it looked like a three wheeler, with the passenger sitting pillion style (behind the driver) in a covered motorcycle. Not much else has been revealed, until now.... The i-Road is indeed a three wheeled motorcycle/car/vehicle, electrically driven with the passenger sitting behind the driver/rider.

France: New Hidden Radar In Service This Month Posted: 03 Mar 2013 10:00 PM PST A new and very sneaky speed radar starts this month in France. The radar is mounted in unmarked police cars, and there are no visible signs that you're about to be caught by one. No markings, no telltale radar bubble, to visible flash... nothing to tell you that you've been photographed apart from a very expensive photo sent to your house in the next few days (and remember that radar detectors are highly illegal in this country). The only current sign is that these unmarked police cars are Renault Megane 1.5 dCi, and there will be two uniformed gendarmes inside, and starting on the 15th of March, there will be 20 of them patrolling the French roads. The cost for each car is €70,000, paid for by our taxes and speeding fines........... ...........Click on the headline to continue reading this story....... ...
