Review: Sena SMH5 Bluetooth Communicator Posted: 05 Jul 2012 09:00 AM PDT A review of the South Korean SENA SMH5 Bluetooth (3.0) communicator for motorcycles . The SMH5 is a "basic" unit, allowing you to listen to music, operate your music remotely, talk to 4 other units (i.e. 4 other bikers and/or pillion), receive GPS instructions and phone calls. Here's the detailed review and test of the unit. ...

Tour de France 2012 - The Motorcycles Posted: 05 Jul 2012 05:00 AM PDT #TdF - As luck would have had it, the 2012 Tour de France passed along my house by some 500 meters, enough for me to have a look. Some 6 hours were spent there, 3,000 photos taken, and now many hours of sorting, editing and publishing. It'll take a long time to show you what it looks like being a "spectator" alongside the road of the Tour, so to keep you busy, here's just "some" of the motorcycles that can be found. There are some 200 bicycles in the race, and at least the same number of motorcycles, maybe even more. I've divided up the motorcycles per category; police, official and press. Here are 31 photos of the motorcycles in the Tour de France. ...

The Ultimate Way Of Carrying A Dog On A Motorcycle Posted: 04 Jul 2012 11:00 PM PDT Many of us bikers love dogs, and wouldn't think of going somewhere without the pooch. But often it's not easy, since they don't always sit still behind you. So you end up buying a trailer for your motorcycle. But trailers are boring.... unless you make this ultimate motorcycle dog-house-trailer. ...

• Video: TVS Apache RTR - Scary?
• Off To The Tour de France 2012
• Happy 4th of July 2012

Video: TVS Apache RTR - Scary? Posted: 04 Jul 2012 09:00 AM PDT The other Indian motorcycle manufacturer, TVS, have recently released their "new" TVS Apache RTR motorcycle, and for the occasion they released a TV commercial. Not as good as the Bajaj ones, nor as the Hero Motocorp ones, but not bad. It's meant to be "scary", because as the advertisement says.. "it's scary fast". ...

Off To The Tour de France 2012 Posted: 04 Jul 2012 05:00 AM PDT As luck will have it, the famous bicycle race, the Tour de France, is passing some 500 meters from my house in Normandy today. All I need is walk out my door to see the race, but instead I'm getting on my motorcycle to find a "perfect" spot to make some photos. The complete road for the Tour will have been closed starting at 10 am this morning, but with a motorcycle, and my press pass, I hope to get to the top of a steep hill close by to make photos, not of the bicycles, but of the 100's of motorcycles that surround the race. If you're watching the race on TV, I'll be located 1 kilometer from the castle of Sassetot-le-Mauconduite, just after Les-Petites-Dalles (seaside town). I just hope I'm not going to cause what happened on the photo.... I'll be showing the photos either later today (depending on traffic), or tomorrow. ...

Happy 4th of July 2012 Posted: 03 Jul 2012 11:00 PM PDT Hope our American cousins have a great 4th of July, with great weather, memorable motorcycle rides, picnics, friends & family, and a spectacular fireworks. .... thinking of you... ...

• Video: Geico - Made of Money
• France: Man Ride Motorcycle Into Hospital - Really
• What A Surreal Picture, Spooky

Video: Geico - Made of Money Posted: 03 Jul 2012 09:00 AM PDT Here's the latest Geico motorcycle insurance TV commercial. It's called "Made of Money", and the message is that others may be made of money, ie have lots of it, that they don't care what a motorcycle insurance costs, but you should care. It's nice symbolism for a TV ad, but reading more about it on the web, many Americans think the ad is really an anti-Mitt Romney ad, since he has money.... whatever (probably from the same people who think there was no moon landing). ...

France: Man Ride Motorcycle Into Hospital - Really Posted: 03 Jul 2012 05:00 AM PDT The kind of stuff you'd expect in a blockbuster comedy movie coming from Hollywood. A 42 year old man went on his 125cc motorcycle to the Hospital of Montbard. Instead of getting off and walking the last meters, he kept on riding, right into the hospital. There, he kept riding through the corridors, narrowly missing hitting people on his motorcycle. He spent quite some time riding around inside the hospital...... ......Click on the headline to continue reading this story....... ...

What A Surreal Picture, Spooky Posted: 02 Jul 2012 11:00 PM PDT This photo really got my attention when I saw it in the streams of photos I look at each day. It's so surreal, with the motorcycle "floating" on the water. Amazing shot... It's a pity the circumstances that prompted the photo to be taken were not so nice. ...

• Dakar: Honda To Compete With Motorcycle Factory Team
• India: X-Fighters Indian Style

The "Real" Results of the Dutch MotoGP Race Weekend Posted: 02 Jul 2012 09:00 AM PDT The real fight within the MotoGP world wasn't just the one we saw this weekend in the TT of Assen. It wasn't just between racers, it's also between the motorcycle world and the general media. The general TV/Media blamed the motorcycle world for a lot of bad things that happened on the road, but when the Dutch motorcycle news site Nieuwsmotor, investigated, it became apparent that the general media's reporting was shoddy at best. Even the Dutch cops were satisfied with the motorcycle world. Click on the headline to continue reading this story....... ...

Dakar: Honda To Compete With Motorcycle Factory Team Posted: 02 Jul 2012 04:00 AM PDT Since 23 years, Honda motorcycles has not competed officially in the famous Dakar race.

India: X-Fighters Indian Style Posted: 01 Jul 2012 11:00 PM PDT The Red Bull X-Fighters show goes anywhere in the world. India, the growing economy, is ripe for entertainment, so a good place for the circus to come to town. ...
