Missed Out Riding In Europe On A Motorcycle? Harley To The Rescue

Posted: 24 Aug 2010 09:00 AM PDT

Harley France Video Map
Harley-Davidson logo
Harley-Davidson France have released an incredibly well done web site, showing you a 7 day trip through the Southern part of France and the Northern part of Italy on a Harley motorcycle.

The video is very well done, not only does it show you the scenery, but you can drag the video to look around you in a 360° scenery. Want to see the rider, or the sky, or side scenery...? No problem. All in HD and full screen. It's like being there.

Very nice way of riding in Europe without the cost.

Ad Harley Davidson Fear Germany
Funny but not official ad for Harley-Davidson motorcycles. It's from a school (yes, they do teach advertising in schools).

You need to see it big before you get the message...

France: Shocking Motorcycle Mortality 2009

Posted: 23 Aug 2010 11:00 PM PDT

France Article
Statistics Article
Deadly accidents in France during 2009 for motorcycle riders saw a dramatic increase, up 11.1%. A reason for the Minister of Interior to target all motorcycle riders in France with police actions.

But what they fail to mention, is that over the last 4 years, France recorded an increase of some 40% in motorcycles on the road, so on per-biker basis, mortality has gone down. And most accidents are caused by cars, not motorcycles.

But do they listen..... no!

The Mercy Band
Since I'm on holidays, I can write whatever I want, at least I think so...

A good friend of mine plays in an upcoming and hot band in the UK. They are starting to make waves, lots of radio shows and live concerts, and they have just released their first EP-CD.

Have a listen to them, and let me know what you think of them. Personally, I like them, and think they play great music to ride your motorcycle to.
