Harley hearse just the thing for biker funerals
Bikers who enjoyed the thrill of two-wheeled transportation in life now can take one last ride on a hog in death as they journey to their final resting place.

The New Honda VFR1200
An Italian moto mag carried photos of Honda's new 1200cc V4 Interceptor for 2010.
I don't speak Italian, but Google translated the article into some semblance of readable English:
"We dug around the Alps, a final copy of the new 1200 Honda V4 as it prepares to land in the market in 201o. It will be the bike that will take the market share so far belonged to the VFR 800 and promises technological content never seen on a motorcycle as the previously announced series of Variable Cilinder Management that the chance to choose how many cylinders put into operation.
Probably it was a photo session or a first taste of the bike to the press.
From these photos we can easily see a final copy, and also those that will enjoy the panniers that, let's face it, plenty of sport touring on the line doing their nasty figure. We also appreciate the considerable width of the bench and the front fairing, confirming a great propensity touring rather than sport. The tester is launching a sneak look at the objective ... caught red-handed!"
Don't Ride Ugly
The folks at Fulmer Helmets are sponsoring this website, www.dont-ride-ugly.com. It has some humorous photos.
Putting my advertising/marketing analyst hat on, I can see that the subtext of this website is a marketing message. Fulmer wants to associate themselves with moto fashion, and wants to use humor to communicate the message -- that not wearing your helmet is a fashion faux pas. They don't say it in as many words, but "Don't ride ugly, ride fashionably. Wear Fulmer Helmets."
I like ad campaigns that are indirect like this; viral campaigns that use humor. The website doesn't have any traditional ads. No marketing copy. Just a brand name in the logo. Just funny pics that will make you send the web address to your friends.
This is how it came to my attention -- a fellow rider sent it to me. And as a result, I have more awareness of the Fulmer brand than I did before.
Marketing 101.
None Of The Gear...
The story of a naked, drunk motorcyclist arrested in Floriday has received national attention this week.
I guess he believes in "None Of The Gear, Some Of the Time"

If loud pipes save lives...
If loud pipes save lives, imagine what learning to ride that thing could do.
I found this brilliant dissection of the "Loud Pipes Save Lives" myth at Intrepid Commuter
