• Halloween As A Biker? Get This Helmet

Be Seen At Night On Your Motorcycle: Torch Backpack Posted: 25 Oct 2012 09:00 AM PDT Overall, motorcycles are pretty small on the road, and easy to miss. That's why there are so many accidents with cars running into motorcycles because the cagers didn't see us. At night that danger is accentuated many fold. The same applies to bicycles. It's the the bicycle world that a product has been made that will make cyclists been seen in the dark, and if it applies to bicycles, it'll work very well on motorcycles. Torch makes the Flux backpack, a waterproof backpack, big enough to carry a lot of your gear, made out of Denier Cordura Nylon, AND incorporating integrated LED lights. The LED lights can be set to steady or flashing........... ...........Click on the headline to continue reading this story....... ...

The game is called Motobushido, and it involves motorcycle-riding samurai warriors. Sounds interesting doesn't it?

In this game, you and a group of your friends play a pack of motorcycle-riding samurai in the years after a great war ravaged the land - a war that your side lost.

• Ad: Shell, Steve McQueen and The Great Escape
• What The Vyrus 984 Ultimate Edition Reminds Me Of
• Don Quixote Was A Motorcycle Rider

Ad: Shell, Steve McQueen and The Great Escape Posted: 24 Oct 2012 09:00 AM PDT Shell, the giant Dutch oil company, put out an epic TV commercial, featuring none other than the King of Cool, Steve McQueen (although it's not him but a look-alike) and one of McQueen's best movies, The Great Escape. They didn't adjust the movie, they just reshot it with their own actor, but it's very close to the stunning escape scene on a motorcycle during WWII. And of course, they've added a Shell gasoline pump to the sequence.... but it's okay, it does make the scene more funny. ...

Don Quixote Was A Motorcycle Rider Posted: 21 Oct 2012 11:00 PM PDT It looks like the novel writer Miguel de Cervantes was wrong. Don Quixote didn't ride against the windmills on a horse, but on a motorcycle. At least if the photos of the Cultural Center "Islas Malvinas" in La Plata (Buenos Aires, Argentina) are to be believed. Isn't that the case of bikers in general? We're fighting the windmills... the windmills of the bureaucracy.. ...

• Spain: Race Between Taxi and Motorcycle Taxi
• Videos: 8 Old Motorcycle Safety PSA - Hilarious
• Lebanon: A Nice Day For A Motorcycle Ride?

Spain: Race Between Taxi and Motorcycle Taxi Posted: 23 Oct 2012 09:00 AM PDT It was bound to happen one day... a race between a car taxi and a motorcycle taxi. The location is Madrid, Spain, and one of the MotoTaxi scooters up against a car taxi in a 6 kilometer race through the heart of Madrid. The time is just before rush hour traffic, so a lot of cars, but not jam-packed. Both vehicles leave at the same time, and as you can guess, the motorcycle taxi arrived at the destination 10 minutes before the car. But the real race was not the time it was going to take, since the answer to that was quite obvious, but the real race was the cost........... ...........Click on the headline to continue reading this story....... ...

Videos: 8 Old Motorcycle Safety PSA - Hilarious Posted: 23 Oct 2012 05:00 AM PDT Here are 8 British motorcycle safety PSA, in black & white from the 1950's. On one side they're funny, on the other side, almost everything they say still applies today. It's funny when you see these old TV commercials (made in 1954) since they use more or less the same terminology and sayings we use today, like "made for bikers by bikers"........... ...........Click on the headline to continue reading this story....... ...

Lebanon: A Nice Day For A Motorcycle Ride? Posted: 22 Oct 2012 11:00 PM PDT When I go for a motorcycle ride, I enjoy seeing the scenery of trees, hills and winding roads... but it looks like in Lebanon, the scenery is burning tires... To each their own.. ...

• France: Parliament Rejects Mandatory Technical Inspection for Motorcycles

Kawasaki Z Series Over Time - First to Last (Video) Posted: 22 Oct 2012 09:00 AM PDT Kawasaki recently announced their latest version of the very popular Z Series, the Z 800, at the Intermot motorcycle exhibition in Germany. The Z Series was one of the very first superbikes when introduced in the 70's, many say it was the first. The Z series has sold very well over the decades, and every few years, Kawasaki updates the motorcycle with the latest technology and design. And since the 70's it has changed a lot. In the video below, you'll find the changes they made over the decades, using a morphing program........... ...........Click on the headline to continue reading this story....... ...

Girls Ride KTM As Well, Here Is A Blouse To Prove It Posted: 22 Oct 2012 05:00 AM PDT It's not only alien guys like Cyril Despres and Marc Coma who get to ride KTM motorcycles. Lots of girls ride them as well, but for those that want to show their love for the Austrian motorcycle manufacturer, there's not much they can do in terms of clothing, unless they want to be a walking billboard. But now KTM have expanded their merchandising offering with this nice blouse for the ladies. It's checkered, 100% cotton, it has elbow pads and as far as I can see, there's no KTM logo apart from something at the right bottom. But you'll find the KTM orange in the coloring of the shirt. ...

France: Parliament Rejects Mandatory Technical Inspection for Motorcycles Posted: 21 Oct 2012 11:00 PM PDT Good news for motorcycle riders living in France (and other European countries: The Netherlands, Sweden and Finland). The European Commission proposed law that would make an annual technical inspection (MOT) of motorcycles mandatory has been massively rejected by the French parliament and senate. The French Association of Angry Bikers (FFMC) had not only been lobbying heavily against the new proposed law, but had also held massive protest rides. The interesting tidbit of this veto was that all parties - left, center and right - were against the law........... ...........Click on the headline to continue reading this story....... ...
