Suzuki Nuda Concept - Take 2 - Add A Canopy

Posted: 07 Mar 2012 08:00 AM PST

Suzuki Crossbow Canopy Concept
English designer Phil Pauley redesigned the incredible Suzuki Nuda concept presented in 1986 in Tokyo. He added a canopy, and called the new motorcycle the Crossbow Canopy Concept.

Although it has some good points, it's not a practical motorcycle. But it does look great, and should do good in the movies...

Ad: Finally A Motorcycles Faster Than The Roadrunner - Beeep

Posted: 06 Mar 2012 08:00 AM PST

Honda Dorvalino Roadrunner Brazil
Honda logo
If this Brazilian print advertisement is to be believed, finally there's a motorcycle faster than the famous roadrunner (you know, beeep, beeep). And the motorcycle is a Honda CBR1000RR.

The ad, made by 9mm Propaganda Florianopolis in Brazil, is for Honda Dorvalino, a local dealer.

Not bad ad for a dealer. But in all honesty, nothing is faster than the roadrunner, nothing.

Germany: New License Point System Presented

Posted: 06 Mar 2012 04:00 AM PST

Peter Ramsauer Point System
Germany is to introduce a new license point system in 2013, stricter but simpler.

Instead of 18 points, now you will lose your license, car or motorcycle, if you have 8 points. But only 1 or 2 points will be presented, depending on what you did.

Minor infringements will not be penalized.

Motorcycle Drive In Movies
Probably one of the more stranger signs I've seen....

I wonder how many actually ride their motorcycle into the movies here.

Is This A Guy Motorcycle?

It's either a woman's motorcycle, or of a guy who is confident in his manhood....or whatever.

Heading Back To My Joyful Office

Posted: 05 Mar 2012 04:00 AM PST

Office Worker With Boxes
Well, if everything went as planned, I should be heading back to my wonderful office amidst my joyful workers. A couple of days in the laps of luxury probably did more harm than good.

If things pan out as planned and timed, I should be arriving this afternoon in the office, but will need to sort out a gazillion photos I took for my customer.

Normal scheduling will start again tomorrow morning.

Quite a simple TV commercial for the Polish Lottery, and no, it's not a Polish joke.

It's about a motorcycle rider what he'll do if he wins...

Norton: Not Motorcycles, But Boots

Posted: 02 Mar 2012 04:00 AM PST

Norton Vegano Mahogany Hannibal Biker Boot
Norton logo
The English iconic motorcycle manufacturer, Norton, is known for making classic motorcycles; bikes you will see in many movies, ridden by stars. A few years back, Norton went bust, but then came back from the ashes.

And like any self respecting motorcycle manufacturer, they need to keep the money flowing by selling merchandising, or at the very least, stuff that is closely related to their business. And like any self respecting motorcycle manufacturer, their merchandising is plentiful. But unlike most manufacturers, they have one set of merchandising stuff that others do not have; BOOTS.

Yes, Norton are proposing real biker boots, made by English shoemaker Jeffrey-West. These boots are not only a symbol of craftsmanship and quality, but also style. The Norton logo is neatly and discretely found inside, on the shoe lining, or on the soles. Nothing flashy or distracting.

France: Alcohol Test Unit Mandatory, Also On Motorcycles

Posted: 01 Mar 2012 10:00 PM PST

Alcootel testing
Already last year, the outgoing President of France had announced that he was planning to introduce mandatory alcohol testing units in every car in France. The alcohol test unit would need to be approved, but could be a simple, single-use unit that can be bought on the internet for a few Euros. God knows why, since someone who is drunk and insists on driving will do it anyway. Someone who takes care, and just wants to be on the safe side, will not have drunk enough to be unsafe... so a totally useless measure.

But yesterday the law was published by the Prime Minister, and now there's a twist.... the measure applies to motorcycles and scooter as well. Only mopeds are exempt.

So now we need to keep a alcohol test unit on us at all times, even in the hot summer. If you don't have any storage on your motorcycle, tough. Failing to have one, will cost you $11.

Dress As Your Motorcycle, Or Dress Your Bike Like You

Deer Motorcycle and Biker
Whatever way it is, it's weird. Dressing your motorcycle like a deer is weird, but then dressing yourself as a deer as well is just... really weird.

And dangerous if it's hunting season.

When you become a champion, you not only win the glory and the big bucks, but you get to star in TV commercials, bringing in even more big bucks. That's also the case for Casey Stoner (no pun intended), who after winning the MotoGP crown, gets to promote Honda motorcycles.

Here's a TV commercial in which Stoner shows off what the Honda CBR 150R is capable off, in and off the circuit.

It's not bad as advertisements go, but no spark...
