WE PETITION THE OBAMA ADMINISTRATION TO:

Allow motorcycle lane sharing on all public roads

Lane splitting is something the rest of the world allows. In areas with congested traffic, it allows motorcycle riders to use the space in between 2 lanes of cars traveling in the same direction to advance through traffic. This act reduces car traffic because of the space a motorcycle takes up behind a car. Currently the State of California is the only place where such action is legal. We petition to make lane splitting a nationally recognized act, and to follow similar guide lines that the State of California has set forth.

New Ducati 1299 Panigale confirmed - albeit by accident


A PHOTOGRAPH has emerged which appears to confirm rumours that Ducati will introduce a 1299 Panigale for 2015.

The picture was posted on the Facebook page of a US Ducati dealership after it won an award for top sales. It shows staff collecting the award at a dealer convention – in front of a picture of a Panigale with ‘1299’ on the side. 

The image was quickly removed from Facebook and replaced with a cropped one.

The "cropped one"  ;D:

Fastest woman on a motorcycle hits 241 mph with electricity instead of gas





Colorado resident Eva Håkansson and her husband Bill Dubé, both engineers, have been building their KillaJoule streamlined sidecar machine for five years in their Colorado backyard, powered by a brace of A123 Systems' lithium-ion batteries and electric motors generating some 400 hp and 800 ft.-lbs. of torque. Last month, at the Bonneville Speed Week, Håkansson ran a two-way average of 240.726 mph over the six-mile course.

Speed records are meant to be broken on the salt flats, but Håkansson's mark stands out. That speed bested the previous record for a sidecar motorcycle by 25 mph — a huge jump by land-speed standards. The record made Håkansson the fastest woman on a motorcycle of any kind

2014 Harley-Davidson Street 750 & 500



Harley-Davidson broke cover, via its Facebook page, on its move into the mid-displacement segment in 2014 with its new Harley-Davidson Street 750 & 500 motorcycles. Both mounts are built around a new “Revolution X” V-Twin liquid-cooled engine, 749cc and 494cc respectively. The Motor Company plans to make these new entry-level mounts available by the second quarter of 2014 in North America, Italy, Spain, Portugal and India and has plans to expand into additional markets the following year. MSRP is listed from $6700-$7500 US dollars.

Street 750 and 500 models sold in the US, Mexico and Canada will be assembled (engine and bike) at Harley-Davidson's Kansas City facility. Those sold internationall y will be manufactured in India.

The Street 750 and 500 are the first new platforms for Harley-Davidson in 13 years. The chassis is “narrow and lean,” the front tire is slim and the suspension is “tuned for the roughest roads” to suit riding in urban environments. Harley-Davidson asserts that even though these mounts are smaller in stature than their cousins in the line-up, the trademark Harley engine note remains intact.

Harley-Davidson Recalls More Than 29,000 Motorcycles

By Rich Smith | More Articles | Save For Later
October 17, 2013 | Comments (0)

Harley-Davidson (NYSE: HOG  ) issued a recall notice Wednesday for some 29,000 of its motorcycles, saying a hydraulic clutch system on the vehicles "may pose a safety issue for riders and/or passengers."

The motorcycles in question, all from the 2014 model year, and all produced between May 3, 2013, and Oct. 14, 2013, include:

    25,185 Touring motorcycles, models FLHTCU, FLHTK, FLHTP, FLHX, FLHXS, FLHTKSE and FLHRSE; and
    3,861 Softail CVOs (customized motorcycles) and Trikes (three-wheel motorcycles), models FLHTCUTG, FXSBSE and FLSTNSE.

On the affected bikes, the hydraulic clutch system may lose the ability to generate enough lift to disengage the clutch. If the clutch does not disengage as intended, the rider may have difficulty slowing or stopping the motorcycle, which could result in an accident.

added liquid cooling and radiators to their big twin cruisers. They can't used the "ugly radiator" argument anymore against the liquid cool big twin Japanese cruisers. Used to be "chrome plastic" from the HD crowd, and that died down because HD started to use them too. Then it's the "radiator is ugly on those JAP cruisers". What's next?  ;D ;D ;D
