Typing a message while riding your motorcycle in rush hour is simply unbelievable risky and I don’t believe any of you out there ever tried this. I base on the fact that you’re actually wearing gloves, but what this guy does is simply unbelievable. It lay back on its bike, controlling the machine with its feet and types a message…probably to its boss announcing it will be late for work again. At least it helped him end up on Youtube if not to keep its job.
Last Sunday a new motorcycle world record took place and it didn’t even require the record holder to sit on the bike, not at all riding it. Angelo de Monaco is passionate about motorcycles and he wanted establish a new world record involving these machines. So he had 138 bikes pass over him, beating the previous 136 motorcycles world record. It took him 7 – or better said the bikers – 7 minutes so the laceration is what he had to beat, not a number. Why would anyone do that? You tell me!
Unless you’ve been living in a cave, and even if you’re not into bicycles, almost anyone has heard of the “Tour de France”. The Tour as it’s known, is the Paris-Dakar of bicycles races, a grueling three week race through France on a bicycle. With immense high Alps and Pyrenees mountains, it’s not an easy race for the cyclists.
But the Tour also has it’s fair share of motorcycles. Motorcycles are used a lot, since they are the only ones that can move along the cyclists without running into (...) > More
Are all of you HOGS prepared for the Tucker County incursion this weekend? You’d better be as Harley Davidson motorcycle enthusiasts from across the United States plan to get together at Canaan Valley Resort for the 2008 West Virginia State Harley Owners Group Rally.
Attracted by two previous experiences from the Davis resort, riders will surely be there in the greatest number. As Troy Cardwell - Canaan Valley general manager- says, riders enjoy the scenery and the country roads.
Group members will start arriving on Wednesday. They’ll partake in a 300-mile round trip “Raw Hide” ride on Thursday and another, shorter, ride on Friday that will be followed by a dinner hosted by the Tucker County Convention & Visitors Bureau and Tucker County Rotary. Field events and a bike show are planned for Saturday.
One of the greatest motorcycle events of the summer, the Harley Owners Group Rally is a must for everybody who wants to stay true to its statute of member.
Planned to take place on the 16th of July, 2008 Ride to Work Day will be backed by celebrities such as Paddy McGuiness, TV presenter Dominic Littlewood together with DJ and record producer Carl Cox.
The idea is as simple as it can get: on July 16 you worm up your bike’s engine, get your riding gear on and get to your place of work. Why? This way, car drivers who also go to work will notice the freer intersections, how fast you got at work and even start thinking on how you’ve also consumed less gas in your way there. Isn’t that great? In a perfect world we’d all be riding motorcycle.
Not all companies like their employees to ride motorcycles to work, and that goes doubly so for car manufacturers who do not make motorcycles (I guess if you work for BMW cars it’s okay to arrive on a BMW motorcycle, ditto for Suzuki and Honda). Several companies have even been forbidding their employees from riding a motorcycle for business reasons (Johnson Controls UK springs to mind, but the list is growing).
French car manufacturer, Renault/Nissan, are not one of them. 8% of their ( > More
Being exposed at a local movie theater in Bethesda, MD, the Bat Pod didn’t escape the camera even if it was on a cell phone. Check out the nicely done montage of the Bat Pod being loaded into the Dark Night Trailer while waiting for the real thing on July 18.
Here’s a Warrior motorcycle that withstood the test of time with brilliancy. If you are into vintage motorcycles you’ll appreciate the bike as being truly worth its place in a museum, and still enjoy seeing it make a little smoke, early style!
We did not know if it is a reconditioned piece or the original model, but when spotting that impeccable Rolls Royce in the guy’s garage, we started having a hunch.
The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) is not the only FEMA acronym around. The one we’re interested in is located in Europe. As you probably know (or should), Europe is divided into many different countries, each with its own motorcycle lobby group/association. Since 27 of the European countries are more or less run out of Brussels, protecting the biker rights in Europe is not an easy task.
FEMA, Federation of European Motorcycle Associations is the grouping of most national (...) > More
