Merry Christmas 2011 - Have A Good One Posted: 23 Dec 2011 04:00 AM PST Merry Christmas to you all, where ever you may be, whatever you may celebrate. I hope Santa has been good to you, and if not, I hope it's really bad...if you know what I mean. Take it easy over the next few days, eat & drink in moderation, but most important, enjoy. ...

Michele Bachmann, US Presidential Candidate, On A Motorcycle Posted: 22 Dec 2011 10:00 PM PST Candidates to the US Presidential elections can't escape it! They need to be seen on a motorcycle, even if it's just posing on one. Has sitting on motorcycles become the 21st century kissing-a-baby? I don't follow much the politics of the candidates and I doubt she rides a motorcycle, but one thing is for sure, she sure is the prettiest of them all... ...

• Dakar2012: David Fretigne Not Starting
• Xmas2011: Silver Colored Motorcycle Necklace
• HKER Luciole - The French Electric Race Motorcycle
• India: Scooter Sales Explode

Dakar2012: David Fretigne Not Starting Posted: 21 Dec 2011 08:00 AM PST It's a real pity for the Dakar race. One of the very few motorcycle racers who could have made a stab at the monopoly of Cyril Despres and Marc Coma for the leadership, is Frenchman David Fretigne. But alas, David was badly hurt in an accident 2 years ago, and already had to renounce the 2011 edition of the Dakar. But unfortunately, the doctors did not deem him fit enough to race in this grueling race. The sawbones stated that if David would make a heavy fall (which almost every Dakar racer will do during the race), he might risk a life-long paralysis. So the Husqvarna rider will have to sit out the race for another season. Pity. ...

Xmas2011: Silver Colored Motorcycle Necklace Posted: 21 Dec 2011 06:00 AM PST Well, this is the last 2011 Christmas gift suggestion. If you've not found anything, you're out of luck. This is a pack of 4 silver color chains with a colorful motorcycle dangling on it. It's not small, so this way anyone can see what you're into. On top of that, it's not expensive. If you hurry, you can have it at home for Christmas. ...

India: Scooter Sales Explode Posted: 20 Dec 2011 10:00 PM PST It's not doom & gloom in every country of the world with regards to scooter and motorcycle sales. India has seen an incredible sales explosion of scooter (+39%) and even motorcycles, with "only" 22% increase. The increase is so dramatic, that manufacturers can not cope, and have enormous backlogs. Customers have to wait for months to get their ride. Maybe India should outsource the production to Europe and North America.... ? ...

Video: MTV - Sex Is No Accident - Vespa Posted: 20 Dec 2011 08:00 AM PST A kind of funny TV commercial from MTV, warning people that sex is no accident, and to wear a condom. To make their point, they've used a nice animation of a girl on a Vespa scooter, who by accident gets in to a "sex" situation. The ads were made by the Gray agency in Germany. Dream on if you think it'll happen to you.... ...

If You Are Reading This, I Have Not Made It Home (Yet) Posted: 20 Dec 2011 04:00 AM PST If you are reading this, it means I have not made it home/office yet. It probably means (I hope) that I have been detained in traffic, and am racing as hard as I can on my motorcycle to get back. If not, I'm in jail somewhere.... ...

Heading Back To The Paper Mountain - HELP Posted: 19 Dec 2011 10:00 PM PST If things went right, I should be heading back to the office, to face my paper mountain which accumulates when you're gone.
