• Video: Hero MotoCorp - Vroom Vroom

Video: Honda Scoopy-i S12 Advertisement Posted: 17 Jul 2012 09:00 AM PDT I was about the trash this Honda TV commercial from Thailand, but then thought better of it. It's actually kind-of-fun, an advertisement done in 60's & 70's style, complete with mini-skirts, the twist and weird hairdo. The ad is aimed at young kids, since the scooter is a Honda Scoopy-i S12, a 108 cc scoot. They even made a special web site to promote the new retro-scooter in Thailand. ...

EICMA 2012: Dates Posted: 16 Jul 2012 11:00 PM PDT World's biggest motorcycle exhibition, the Italian EICMA, will open its doors to the motorcycle public between November 15th and 18th in Milan.

Video: Hero MotoCorp - Vroom Vroom Posted: 16 Jul 2012 11:00 PM PDT It just shows you that you can make a nice TV commercial without spending a lot of money. All you need is a good idea (maybe not original, but good anyway), a camera and a few actors. Indian Hero MotoCorp has done exactly that. In this TV advertisement, they've made a good ad without special effects, big budget production, original music scores, not even much to see in terms of motorcycles. In fact, you only get to see a motorcycle at the very end. ...

• Germany: Hells Angels On Strike - 12 Photos
• GasGas Electric Trial Motorcycles - For Kids
• Not Motocross but Horsecross

Germany: Hells Angels On Strike - 12 Photos Posted: 16 Jul 2012 09:00 AM PDT Everyone can go on strike in Europe, everyone. Even the Hells Angels. Well, it's not a strike, more a protest run, since the local government is banning the Hells Angels from entering their city, even to have their club there. So they organized a massive protest ride on their motorcycles into the city. 1,000 motorcycles... that must have been impressive. ...

GasGas Electric Trial Motorcycles - For Kids Posted: 11 Jul 2012 05:00 AM PDT I've said it before, trial motorcycles are the best motorcycle platform for electrical bikes. You don't need the range (you're not going anywhere), you just need low weight and a lot of torque, something electrical motorcycle offer. It's also a sport where engine noise can distract the rider trying to climb impossibly high obstacles. Spanish trial motorcycle manufacturer, with a big reputation, GasGas, already has an electric trial competition bike, but now they have more electric trial bikes - for kids. The GasGas TXT e8 and e12 are made for kids aged between 2 and 10 years, depending on the model. ...

Not Motocross but Horsecross Posted: 15 Jul 2012 11:00 PM PDT Is this a new sport to be found shortly in the X-games or X-Fighters? Forget about a motorcycle, use a horse instead... Must make the treehugger movement happier.... ...

Video: Vespa - Betta Getta Vespa..The Olympics are Coming! Posted: 13 Jul 2012 05:00 AM PDT Here's a very nicely done TV commercial from a London based Vespa dealer, R. Agius Scooter. It's a funky little animation why people should get a Vespa scooter to beat the enormous forecasted traffic jams in London during the Olympics. Even the underground is not going to help; nor will the "Boris Bikes". The only solution to getting to work is a scooter, preferably a Vespa.

Wine and Motorcycles Do Not Mix? Yes They Do! Posted: 12 Jul 2012 09:00 AM PDT Wise bikers, usually older ones, know that motorcycles and wine just don't mix, but we beg to differ. At least in this case.... Artist Guenter Schloz has created this unique sculpture for your dining pleasures. It is a wine bottle holder in the shape of a motorcycle. It'll hold a standard wine bottle, and has been hand-made from recycled steel....... Click on the headline to continue reading this story....... ...

Video: Servis Tyres Pakistan Ad Posted: 12 Jul 2012 05:00 AM PDT This is a surprisingly good TV commercial (either that or I have become so used to seeing Indian and Pakistani advertisement) for a Pakistan tire manufacturer called Servis Tyres. Apart from the language, I didn't understand a single word, or the music, the idea is pretty good. This is what happens if you don't use proper tires on your motorcycle. Who said you need big budgets, CGI and special effects for a commercial? ...

China: 35,000 Motorcycle Express Delivery Companies Posted: 11 Jul 2012 11:00 PM PDT Wow, that's an impressive figure; 35,000 express delivery companies in China, most using motorcycles and scooters.
