Video: Breitling Watches and Pretty Girl On Motorcycle Posted: 05 Jan 2012 08:00 AM PST Breitling watches are known as the aviation watch. Many private and professional pilots wear them, it's like a status symbol and a sign that you are a pilot. It's therefore no wonder that Breitling would show an airplane in their latest TV commercial, and not just any airplane, but a beautiful Mustang P51. But even better, they have a motorcycle with a beautiful girl riding it. The moral of the story is that you'll never be late if you have a Breitling watch. To me, the guy is a sucker.... leaving just because the lady is late.. Have a look at the ad. It's very nicely filmed. ...

Royal Enfield Unveils Thunderbird 500 - Cruiser Style Posted: 05 Jan 2012 02:00 AM PST Royal Enfield, world's oldest motorcycle manufacturer with the same model, has unveiled a "new" motorcycle model. Called the Thunderbird 500 (there is already a popular Thunderbird 350), it's a course change for the English-then-Indian manufacturer. Their traditional model, the Bullet has been unchanged for decades. Now, they have made a more modern look-&-feel, with updated technology. The Thunderbird is a touring motorcycle, styled like a cruiser. But you'll not find much chrome on this motorcycle, even the engine is black. The color choices for the new motorcycle are black, black and black (in fact, there are three colors black to choose from). The pillion seat can be removed, allowing you to carry luggage. There are even hooks for bungee cords. Here are the specs... ...

Dakar2012: Day 4 Posted: 04 Jan 2012 10:30 PM PST The Dakar rally is now in full swing. All competitors are on their rhythm, but many are falling off, especially in the motorcycle field. Have the organizers made this year's edition too tough? 22 riders have withdrawn in 3 days! It's amazing to watch the superpros battling it out, it makes the "normal" pros look ... normal. The fight between Despres and Coma is intensifying, and even a really great enduro rider like Verhoeven just doesn't get close. The fight between the two arch rivals looks like it's going to be until the last round, they are so evenly matched. Here are the photos of Day 4, courtesy KTM and Maragni M. ...

Ireland: Record Low Death Toll On Roads Posted: 04 Jan 2012 10:00 PM PST Irish road users have been behaving! Since road mortality figures are kept (1959), the number of people who have died on the Irish roads is at its lowest, ever. Motorcycle riders are in the group that does not change, but car accident related deaths are way down. Surprisingly, the 2nd highest death rate is that of pedestrians. Better off on a motorcycle. ...

HDX3 - Mobility Scooter, The Italian Way Posted: 04 Jan 2012 08:00 AM PST Just because you are disabled and want to ride a motorcycle or scooter, doesn't lean that the scooter has to look like crap.... A company in Italy has designed a really nice package for disabled bikers; called the HDX3, it's a scooter based on the popular Honda SH 125 with an electrically, and remote, operated loading platform for wheelchair.

Ad: Honda Motorcycles - Arrive Home Before Yourself Posted: 04 Jan 2012 04:00 AM PST Funny concept for a print advertisement. The ad comes from Mccann Erickson in Israel, and the idea is interesting. You come home faster than usual, because you are using a Honda motorcycle, and find yourself in bed with your wife... Beats the Harley ads finding your wife in bed with a biker.. ...

Dakar2012: Day 3 Posted: 03 Jan 2012 10:30 PM PST Day 3 of the famous and fabulous Dakar race for 2012, and the motorcycle field is being thinned out, more a culling. The USA riders are down to 4, but others are not doing any better. It looks like this year's edition is very tough, with the local hospitals getting crowded. Here are the photos of the epic day. ...

France: Radar Localization Hardware - Forbidden, But.. Posted: 03 Jan 2012 10:00 PM PST Fun and games on the French roads.... New laws are being applied for radar localization devices such as Coyote/Inforad, and all smartphone with a GPS app. They are no longer allowed to tell you that you are approaching a radar, just that you are approaching a "danger" zone. But thanks to the law, cops are not allowed to inspect your smartphone without a warrant, since it's a privacy issue. So if your smartphone has a GPS with radar warning, they can't touch it... fun! ...

Incredibly Loud Horn Coming: Banshee Horn Posted: 03 Jan 2012 08:00 AM PST We all know that the horn on our motorcycle sucks. It sound like a duck with a severe cold. But replacing it with a high decibel horn can be problematic when you just require someone's attention. You don't want it to sound like the heaven is coming down on them. The Banshee Horn might just be the solution. Small tap on the horn button, and you get your normal horn sound. A stronger push, and 135 dB of sound will hit around you. Plus, the high beam will start flashing. Have a look at the video demonstration.. ...

Dakar2012: Day 2 - The Photos Posted: 03 Jan 2012 04:00 AM PST Here are many photos, courtesy KTM motorcycles and Maragni M., of Day 2 of the Dakar race. Funny enough, many of the KTM motorcycle riders are Polish. ...

Taiwan: Motorcycle and Many Flags Posted: 02 Jan 2012 10:00 PM PST One thing is sure, this motorcycle will never see the legal speed limit passed; the biker is pretty old (at least from looking at the photo), and all those flags will make it impossible... ...

Dakar2012: Cyril Despres Rolls Out The Big Guns - Literally Posted: 01 Jan 2012 10:00 PM PST It looks like the Dakar 2012 edition is heated up already. With the number of wins between arch-rivals Marc Coma and Cyril Despres at 3 - 3, both motorcycle riders are going to be at their best to win this year's race. Cyril Despres has decided with team mate Ruban Faria to win this year, and he's brought in the big guns, and I mean BIG GUNS. This should give Marc Coma something to think about.... ...
