Worlds Toughest Road Russia
Russia flag
#Russia #Roads #Video - Often when I go riding my motorcycle I may hit some place where the roads are badly done up. Potholes, cracks, metal plates, etc; Enough to send out a litany of expletives about the state of the road. Is that why I am paying taxes?

But after seeing this video (and photo), I think any other road is going to be holy; - a walk in the park compared to this Russian road. Just look at this photo..........

#Calendar #Customs #Motorcycles - It may sound crazy, mentioning calendars in the month of August, but every year people scramble to find great motorcycle-themed calendars and then find out that the great ones have been sold out. There are many motorcycle calendars out there, but only a few that are truly great.

Bike EXIF are known for publishing some of the best, high quality, photos of motorcycles. After all, the site's name has the word EXIF in it, and that is a photographer's term. So you expect nothing but the best photos from this very popular site.

And the 2014 calendar is not going to disappoint...........

UK: London Forbids Motorcycles From Riding Past Hospital

UK Not Allowed For Motorcycles
UK flag
#London #Hospital #Noise - Strange reaction from the local authorities. The hospital located in Brent, London has apparently been the scene of a few misguided bikers racing their motorcycles alongside the hospital. As we all know, you are expected not to make noise when riding, or driving, alongside a hospital. So no loud pipes, no honking, no revving up, etc.

So what do the local authorities do? See the photo..........

France: Airplanes Used For Speeding Tickets

Aircraft Enforced
France flag
#France #Police #Aircraft - France has been planting speed radars at a very high rate. It almost looks like the speed radars are copulating; they are spreading like bunny rabbits. But now the French government is going all Apocalypse Now on its citizens.

It used to be that the police would very occasionally use helicopters to spot speeders, often motorcycles, but at a cost of €2,000 per hour, you need to catch a lot of speeders to make it worth their while, and that just is not the case.

But what is interesting, at least for the government, is using light aircraft. The 10 police units operating in France will be equipped with a light aircraft costing €200 per hour...........
