DIY Fairings 1

Royal Enfield Car

1959 Berkeley B 95 Royal Enfield

Royal Enfield are a well established and long time manufacturer of motorcycles. In fact, they have the oldest model still in production. They used to be English, but are now based in India, and they produce some of world’s best classic motorcycles.

They’re not known for making fast motorcycles, you known… sportsbikes. They make classic, or shall I say vintage motorcycles that you can ride in the countryside, taking your time, enjoying the ride and views.

It’s therefore a surprise to see a sportscar using a Royal Enfield engine. But it’s true. This is the Berkeley B-95 LHD (Left Hand Drive). The car was built in 1959, and they only made 12 LHD units, 3 survived.

Video: Shit Bikers Say

January 26th, 2012 at 04:55am Under Motorbikes

Video clip

As motorcycle riders, we tend to say a lot. Instead of just riding, we like talking about our motorcycles, and often we say, as the French say, “N’importe quoi”, meaning “whatever”. It’s true, we do say a lot of things, and this video proves it.

You’ll recognize many of the things said in the video, that’s for sure. Starring Bill Dwyer from AtlasRider.

Have a look, and see how many of the things said in the video are said by you…. I dare you.

France: Divide and Conquer

It’s so close to the Presidential elections here in France, that the politicians are falling over themselves trying to outdo each other in stupidity. Now, the Minister of Transportation’s road safety commission called a meeting to talk about motorcycle road safety (lane splitting and clothing), and instead of calling both main motorcycle organizations, FFMC (French Angry Biker Association) and FFM (French Motorcycle Federation), they only summoned the FFMC.

When questioned why they only invited one organization, the government answered that they wanted to keep to number of participants low. In other words, we do not want to be ganged up upon - Divide & Conquer.

The FFMC did the right thing, and left the meeting. Now, there was only one participant, the government. And to think I pay my taxes to these idiots.
