Here's a really funny TV ad for BMW motorcycles. It's just too funny...
You've got to know, that here in France, when a biker sees another motorcycle coming up, they'll move over. The biker that passes the other, sticks out his/her foot to say thank you. The biker that was passed, usually does a short wave or stick out a leg to acknowledge.
So have a look at this one

We've seen quite a lot of motorcycle hearses lately, it seems that it has become quite a fad. The idea is pretty good, but often a tad expensive.
This person was a one-man undertaker offering a cheap biker burial service....

Saddles can be a pain in the you-know-what! So why not do as this guy did, put a few shaggy rugs on your motorcycle. That'll ease the pain.
No wait;.. that's not a rug...

Two things amazed me while visiting Florence in Tuscany, Italy (apart from the beautiful and old buildings, food and women monuments).
First of all, it's the first time I've seen so many electric vehicles in one place; cars, scooters, segways, trucks and even many buses are all electrical. The issue that many people raise that you can not hear an electrical vehicle come up behind you is wrong, very wrong! You can hear their tires! We had no problem walking the searing hot streets of Florence, you can hear one approach, so you get on the sidewalk. Simple and no fuss.
The second amazing thing is the number of parked scooters. Countries like Italy, Spain and France are known to have many scooters and motorcycles, but what amazed me was all the parking space they had. Almost every street had 30-100 parked scooters (there are 98% scooters, 1.9% motorcycles and 0.1% bicycles):
Any street you turned into, at almost every corner:
Most small side streets were more or less blocked off by rows of scooters.
Sometimes there were so many, that buses had to scrape through real slowly for fear of hitting the scoots.
I think many cities in the world should take note how scooters and motorcycle live in harmony with the rest of the city. Instead of trying to ban two wheelers, the authorities have made it easier for everyone.
