Here are some of the interesting motorcycle articles I've been reading on the internet over the last few weeks (holiday). Enjoy...

Note: Several bloggers have written to me, asking me how they can appear in the round-up. The answer is a bit complicated, and not scientific at all. I use Google Reader to scan all stories appearing on the internet. Since I get some 3,000 articles per day, the article needs to catch my attention. Primary, the headline must catch my attention, then usually a photo and then the article summary or text. Finally, if it's not a topic that has done the rounds of every blogger out there, I'll click on the headline, and read the article. If I think it's of interest, I'll bookmark it for the summary.

That's how it's done...
