Belgium: Roads To Be Dark, Very Dark

Posted: 20 Jul 2011 09:00 AM PDT

Dark Road tracks
% of the motorways/autoroutes in Belgium are going dark. There's no money for something as frivolous as lamps on autoroutes.

Even when your roads are not in a good state, and motorcycles often have problems because of truck tracks ingrained in the road.

You can buy anything on the internet nowadays. But would you buy motorcycle tires on the net?

Buying them is easy, delivery free. But what about putting the tires on your motorcycle? French Allo Pneus offer a home service, whereby they come to wherever you are, and install them for you. Except not everywhere, since I live in an area where they do not service me location...

Would you buy tires over the internet?

Boulevard Peripherique
The greenies from the Paris City Council have asked the police to reduce the speed limit on the city's ring road (the Peripherique) from 80 to 70 kph (for a trial period).

But their reasoning to reduce it is a bit strange. It's not to save lives, lessen pollution, but for ......

In The Useless Patents Dep: Motorcycle Sidestand Dolly

Posted: 14 Jul 2011 05:00 AM PDT

Sidestand Dolly patent
Look what I found in a patent search (I need to get a real life). Why would anyone want to have a dolly to put under your motorcycle's side/kick stand?

You can't roll the motorcycle in the garage with the dolly and sidestand out, since you'll need to redress the bike, and that leaves the dolly on the ground by itself. You can't move the motorcycle, so why have a dolly?

Someone with a higher IQ, please explain...

Bastille Day Paris Etoile
I'm off on two assignments for the next week or so (you should be able to guess what the first one is, considering what day it is today here in France), and after that I'm off to Finland. I should be in and out over the next week, but if I'm not, I've left you with some entertainment to keep you busy. I don't even know when I'll be back, but it should be by the 2nd week of August, that is, if I survive Finland. ...

Riding your motorcycle packed with people would make you nervous, but doing it in front of an armored military car, loaded for bear, I'd be shitting in my pants.
