• Royal Enfield Bike, As In Bicycle
• Latest KTM Spotted - With Sidecar
• So, Joe Biden, VP of USA Like (Female) Bikers

Royal Enfield Bike, As In Bicycle Posted: 12 Sep 2012 09:00 AM PDT There you go, I never knew that the legendary motorcycle manufacturer Royal Enfield used to make bicycles. Royal Enfield used to be a British motorcycle manufacturer who also made bicycles (like many other manufacturers, then and now), and when they closed down the factories in the 1960s, transferring the production to India, it would appear that the bicycle section went to Japan. The bicycles, like the motorcycles, are sturdy with class. However, it looks like they never went back into production. Pity. Maybe Royal Enfield India should consider making bicycles again. ...

Latest KTM Spotted - With Sidecar Posted: 12 Sep 2012 05:00 AM PDT Is this the latest KTM "motorcycle" that we might get to see next month at Intermot? A KTM with sidecar... comfy ...

So, Joe Biden, VP of USA Like (Female) Bikers Posted: 11 Sep 2012 11:00 PM PDT Obviously a lot of can said, or written about this. But I'll refrain from any nasty comments that have been forming in my mind..... My only question is massaging a motorcycle rider's shoulder the next political baby kissing?? Are we now going to see candidates massaging bikers? And I'm sorry, I couldn't resist.... did she get a happy ending? ...

• Ad: DHL Want To Transport Your Motorcycles
• New Technology Can Tell If You Are DUI From A Distance
• Pakistan: This Is Where A School Bus Would Come In Handy

Ad: DHL Want To Transport Your Motorcycles Posted: 11 Sep 2012 09:00 AM PDT DHL, the global delivery and logistics service (currently owned by the German Post Office), wants to transport your motorcycle to your sporting event. Like with Formula One, DHL would love to get the contract for transporting MotoGP and SuperBikes, but so far, all they've got is a partnership with FIM. With my experience with DHL, the race motorcycles would probably end up at the other side of the world, 4 days later... ...

New Technology Can Tell If You Are DUI From A Distance Posted: 10 Sep 2012 05:00 AM PDT Drinking and riding your motorcycle is not smart, and it's against the law. Many people can get away with it, since stopping vehicles takes time and money, and the results are low. But two researchers in Greece have come up with something that may put a stop to that. They developed an algorithm that, when using a thermal camera can tell the LEO if you're drunk or not. What this means is that a cop could get a small handheld camera, point it at motorcycles and cars on the road, and see who is drunk or not. Scary stuff... .... .....

Pakistan: This Is Where A School Bus Would Come In Handy Posted: 10 Sep 2012 11:00 PM PDT I'd say that if they could, they prefer to be in a school bus than ride the motorcycle; overcrowded and wet.... ...

• 25 (De)Motivational Poster - Part 4
• USA: Yet Another POTUS Police Motorcycle Escort Dies
• More Edible Motorcycles: The Pasta Motorcycle

25 (De)Motivational Poster - Part 4 Posted: 10 Sep 2012 09:00 AM PDT We've already had three series of (de)motivational posters:- you know, those posters with a photo and some motivational text. But sometimes it's not motivation, just the opposite. And more often than not, the posters are funny, even rude. Here is Part 4 of the (De)Motivational Posters, 25 of them. ...

USA: Yet Another POTUS Police Motorcycle Escort Dies Posted: 10 Sep 2012 05:00 AM PDT This happens way too much in the USA. Yesterday, a police officer escorting the POTUS on his motorcycle crashed and died while doing his duty. Although this time, from the press reports, the police officer was crashed into by a pick-up truck, so there's not much you can do about that, it's still something that happens a lot in the US (see the Via: below for the source article). Far more than motorcycle escorts in Europe. You've got to ask yourself why? Is it training? Procedures? Technique? Or simply that the law doesn't allow full control of traffic, something that cops in Europe have..... Click on the headline to continue reading this story....... ...

More Edible Motorcycles: The Pasta Motorcycle Posted: 06 Sep 2012 11:00 PM PDT The other things Italians are known for, next to making beautiful motorcycles (and a few cars), is food, specifically pasta. All sorts of pasta, like macaroni, spaghetti, vermicelli, etc. So why not combine both specialties? That's what Sergey from Russia thought. He makes these vehicles out of pasta. Not only does he make motorcycles, but also cars, helicopters, etc. ...... Click on the headline to continue reading this story....... ...

Another Thing To Be Shortly Forbidden On A Motorcycle Posted: 07 Sep 2012 09:00 AM PDT When I ride my motorcycle, I love listening to some upbeat music. And often while riding I sing along. It's relaxing and fun, and I don't have to be bothered that people think I'm crazy (which I am), since they can't see me singing thanks to my full face helmet. But that pleasure may just be short-lived if authorities start noticing the recent research done in Australia. According to the research, singing and driving is first of all distracting, but it also makes you a bad driver. .... ..... Click on the headline to continue reading this story....... ...

Want To Be Really Heard On Your Motorcycle? REALLY HEARD? Posted: 07 Sep 2012 05:00 AM PDT Horns on motorcycles are pretty lame. Usually they sound like a duck with a severe flu. Third party horns are a plenty, one we have even tested (link). That was a 140 dB horn, and very useful with cars and trucks that can't really hear you over the noise inside their vehicle. But you can go better. Much better if we look at what this person has accomplished (on a bicycle mind you). The only problem is that you'll need to sacrifice some space on your motorcycle. Why?? Because we're talking about installing a real train horn...all 178 dB..... Click on the headline to continue reading this story....... ...

24 Hours of Le Mans Motorcycle - LIVE Feed Posted: 06 Sep 2012 11:00 PM PDT The 24 Hours of Le Mans motorcycle endurance race is upon us, since it starts this Saturday. However, the qualifiers will start today. FIM, the international motorcycle race federation, is live streaming all tests, qualifiers and the actual race. So if you live somewhere too far to go and see the actual race, and even if you live close-by and want to watch it, turn on your computer. Several TV stations are transmitting the motorcycle race, but none will be showing the whole race. You have the choice of watching the race on FIM Live-TV, or on YouTube. ...
