Ad Trade Motorcycles

#Advertisement #Motorcycle #Australia - When I first saw this print advertisement and the copy text "The bike you want is now easier to find" I thought it was an anti-theft ad. A bit like "do not make your motorcycle visible".

But in fact the ad is for a motorcycle trade/sales web site, trade-motorcycles.com.au. I don't know, it just does not ring a bell for me. I think it would have been better as a PSA for anti-theft.

#Garmin #Video #VIRB - In a busy and thriving action video camera market, GPS manufacturer Garmin has released two high-end portable video cameras that can be used for a variety of sports, amongst others motorcycle riding.

The VIRB and VIRB Elite are camcorders that "tape" 1080P resolution (in other words High-Def) video and 30 frames per second (FPS), and it can take 16 megapixel still photographs while recording video.

The battery will give you 3 hours of video taping. Apart from a bigger size, what sets is apart from its biggest competitor GoPro is a built-in 1.4" LCD screen, allowing you to setup the recorder and to preview your video. Currently on GoPro you need a smartphone or a dedicated accessory to be able to do this...........

They probably meant well. In Russia last year there were 27,991 fatal accidents, many of them because of excessive speeds. The NGO Autodvijenie decided to educate drivers to lift their right foot of the pedal.

The way they did it was particular, but not unique. By putting two pretty ladies, topless, brandishing speed limit signs they hoped to catch the attention of car, truck and motorcycles...........

#France #Radar #Crazy - Like Skynet in the Terminator movie series, the computer in a speed radar in Montpellier, France took control. The radar probably realized that it was not issuing enough speeding tickets, so it changed the rules of the game.

On a road limited to 110 kph, it started making photos of cars and motorcycles that were travelling faster than 90 kph. In other words, it had gone mad, but it was a bonanza for the government. Maybe the radar could start fining vehicles over 10 kph?..........
