14 Photos Of Blown Up @ Destroyed Motorcycles - Part 5 Posted: 24 Jun 2013 09:00 AM PDT #Blowup #Motorcycles #Destroyed - This is already the 5th "episode" of motorcycles that have been at the wrong end of violence; they were blown up, set of fire or just destroyed, often beyond recognition. All the motorcycles that were destroyed were victims to enormous violence, something that should not be tolerated with these innocent vehicles. So here are 14 photos of, often very badly, damaged motorcycles. Warning: If you are any bit squeamish for the sight of dead motorcycles, for crying out loud, DO NOT LOOK AT THESE PICTURES. ...

France: Mandatory High-Visibility Vests Mandatory (Again) For Motorcyclists, With A French Twist Posted: 24 Jun 2013 05:00 AM PDT #France #High-Visibility #Motorcycles - To think we pay these people a salary to do whatever they want, including making senseless laws. It's really incredible, but when you start thinking about it when sitting on the toilet, it makes sense. Politicians, like any other "human", needs to make sure they have a job. And one way of keeping your job is to pretend to be very busy. Even if it means making laws that make no sense whatsoever and are a pain to everyone. So what got my knickers in a twist you may ask yourself?

France: Paris- Motorcycles Can Use Electric Car Charging Points Posted: 23 Jun 2013 11:00 PM PDT #Electric #Charing #Motorcycle - Here's something I didn't know. In Paris there's an electric car sharing service (that much I did know), much like their popular bicycle sharing service, called AutoLib (it's quite popular, so much so that Indianapolis have signed a deal to replicate it in their city). With the AutoLib program, you subscribe to the service, and can go to one of the many electricity recharge station, drop in your credit card, hop into one of the funky electric cars, and ride through Paris. When you are finished, you drop the car at any of the fast recharge stations. So far, nothing of interest to use motorcycle riders. But what I recently learned is that you are allowed to ride your electric motorcycle to one of the charging stations of the AutoLib program and recharge your bike's batteries. You need to subscribe, which will cost you €15 per year. That includes during the day the first 2 hours (and at night the first 4 hours), and after that it'll cost you €1 per hour of charging time (at night, it'll be €1 for the whole night). That looks like a pretty good deal. If you ride up at night, plug it in, and it'll cost you €1 to recharge. Not bad. ...
