A new Harley-Davidson advertisement, but not for their motorcycles, but for their new clothing line; Black Label.

Still quite aggressive, but better than a few years ago...

Nice reminder...

In California, land of TV series and movies, a motorcycle cop did one that you'd not even expect in a movie....

Europe: Female Motorcycle Riders Will Be Paying Higher Insurance Fee

Posted: 22 Mar 2011 09:00 AM PDT

Women have been fighting for equality for centuries, and now they are going to get it, and they don't like it....

The European courts have deemed that favoring female motorcycle (and car) riders for lower insurance fees is discrimination towards their male counterparts, and now women need to pay the same as men, i.e., higher premiums.

Betcha the insurance companies love this rule...

Nice TV commercial for a Canadian Lotto, Cloud 6/49.

Win the lotto, buy a new motorcycle, and head out for a very long ride.

That's the script for when I win the lotto....

43 Motorcycle Ape Hangers

Posted: 21 Mar 2011 09:00 AM PDT

Some bikers prefer to ride their motorcycle with their arms and hands hanging in the wind, high up the handlebars. Cruiser handlebars aren't enough for them, they prefer to be higher.

Here are 43 ape hangers, mostly on cruisers, but not all of them (shame on you).

Enjoy

Video: Honda Motorcycles - Red Hot Summer

Posted: 21 Mar 2011 04:00 AM PDT

A true "feel good" TV advertisement from Honda Motorcycles. Deep voice over, happy families riding their motorcycles, including the kids on their small displacement dirtbikes. Only thing missing is the family eating apple pie.

But then, would you prefer the in-your-face Harley ads?

And You Thought Running Into A Deer Was Lethal On Your Motorcycle

Posted: 20 Mar 2011 11:00 PM PDT

Just when you thought it was safe to ride your motorcycle....

No longer do you need to watch out for deer, wild boars, vultures, elephants, but now we got to be on the look out for kangaroos.

One biker paid the ultimate price...
