Wheelchair bound bikers who continue riding their motorcycle deserve our utmost respect (and I don't just mean Rossi). Here's an English biker who transformed a Ducati Monster into a motorized wheelchair!

Here's an incredibly well done sneak preview of KTM's new 450 Rally motorcycle that will be used in the upcoming Dakar race.

It's none other than Cyril Despres behind the handlebars, shaking down the motorcycle. Very well filmed, from all angles, but you never get to see the whole bike... it's a teaser.

That new 450 sure goes fast, and if you crank up the volume, you can enjoy the roar of the engine. Amazing!

A review of a decent movie, Exit Speed.

It's a movie where the motorcycle riders are the really bad guys (and gals), riding around on their crotch rockets high on meth.

Good plot, good acting and great motorcycle stunts.

France: Motorcycle Taxis Not Allowed To Stop At Airport

Posted: 22 Sep 2010 11:00 PM PDT

Roissy CDG drop off
First it was good news for French motorcycle taxis, now it's really bad.

The local authorities at France's main airport, CDG/Roissy, have declared that motorcycle taxis are not allowed to drop off their clients in the drop off lane, but instead need to go to their reserved waiting area, away from the terminal buildings, to drop off their fare.

It's scandalous, and it reeks of bribery by the authorities.

KTM Bajaj Kawasaki Love
Volkswagen Bajaj Logo Love
Bajaj, KTM and Kawasaki are in an ideal position to join forces to conquer the motorcycle world. They are all already tied up in some shape or another, and could complement each other in the global market place, making it a force to be reckoned with.

Add to that the fact that Volkswagen is on the motorcycle manufacturer trail, look at the Bajaj logo and the Volkswagen logo, and we might just end up with world's largest motorcycle manufacturer: VolksKawaBajKTM (or whatever the name).

Here's a short analysis.
