Motorcycle Rally

There are four major motorcycle rallies around the country each year. These rallies draw in the hundreds of thousands of visitors to their respective areas. In addition there are a large number of smaller events. There is probably one near you.
The Four Major Rallies are:
    * Daytona Bikeweek
    * Myrtle Beach Bikeweek
    * Laconia Bikeweek
    * Sturgis Bikeweek
Daytona Bikeweek
The Daytona Rally, in and around Daytona Beach, Florida, is the first major event of the year. It is held in the first full week in March each year. The official dates for most rallies are Sunday to Sunday. The festivities for most rallies start on Friday evening, so sometimes these first week rallies actually begin in the previous month. Daytona and Sturgis are probably the best known of the major rallies.

Florida is flat land with primarily straight roads. While other areas provide more challenging riding the timing of the Daytona event makes it a major attraction. Many riders have had limited opportunity to ride for several months. They come to Daytona to be able to ride in relative comfort. Orlando and its attractions and the space coast are short rides away, so there is plenty to do while visiting Florida.
Myrtle Beach Bikeweek
The Myrtle Beach Rally, in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, is held in the middle of May each year. The weather in Myrtle Beach is often beautiful at this time of year, although it can cool off at night. There are many sights to see and many stops on the agenda. As a purely subjective observation, I think that the percentage of bikes with decorative paint is highest at the Myrtle Beach Rally.
Laconia Bikeweek
The annual rally held in Laconia, New Hampshire has the distinction of being the oldest rally on the circuit. The dates for this rally are toward the middle of June and traditionally the rally ends on Fathers Day. The New England location in the hills around Lake Winnipesaukee in the heart of the lakes region of New Hampshire provides some great riding. Many of the roads are based on the old trails and follow the contours of the land. The rally centers around Weirs Beach and the surrounding area. There are many places to go within an easy ride and the ride is half the fun in the Laconia area.
Sturgis Bikeweek
The Blackhills Rally may be the most famous of the rallies. It is centered around Sturgis, South Dakota and takes place in the first full week of August. This is in the foothills of the Rockies and about 35 miles from the national monument at Mt. Rushmore. Sturgis is a town of about 5000 people 50 weeks of the year and a half million the other two.
The old west gambling town of Deadwood is only about 10 miles down a scenic winding road. The Badlands of South Dakota and Devil's Tower National Monument in Wyoming are available day trips from Sturgis. In fact, one of the traditions of the Sturgis Rally is the Wednesday ride to Hulett, Wyoming, the nearest town to the tower.
In addition to the major rallies listed there are hundreds in not thousands of shorter events held around the country. Through the season there are multiple events on most weekends. Some of the smaller events are closer to the roots of the old rallies. Big or small the rallies are all great parties. People gathered together to celebrate life and the ride.
The Motorcycle rallies offer a lot to see, both people and machines, and a lot of entertainment. I have often said that bikeweek is a time that you will hear live music played in places where there are not even places the rest of the year. You can have a lot of fun at a rally, so check out an event near you or plan a vacation to include one of the major rallies.

Biona, A Green Motorcycle Concept by Jordi Poblet Pedrol

Designer Jordi Poblet Pedrol gives us a glimpse of how a real “green” motorcycle could look with his wood, plastic and metal Biona concept bike. Cruise the streets and reduce your carbon footprint at the same time!

The future of transport is uncertain. But it seems electric engines will replace gasoline, in our urban vehicles. This project gives a new possibility for urban motorcycles. This design tries to give a new perception of what an electric motorcycle really is. It incorporates traditional but greener materials, never forgetting new technologies and new tendencies.

Petron Gasul

“Ang Segurista, Petron Gasulista!”

Petron Gasul guarantees quality and safety

Many of us take our kitchen LPG (liquefied petroleum gas) supply for granted; but home safety considerations should make us pay more attention to the quality of our cooking LPG. This is the essence of the new slogan Ang Segurista, Petron Gasulista, which highlights the essential safety, quality and authenticity features of the trusted Petron Gasul brand.

Sub-standard or illegally refilled LPG cylinders may be marginally cheaper but sacrifice safety standards, which could lead to accidents and the loss of lives and property. Unscrupulous suppliers may also skimp on the LPG cylinder’s fuel content, loading less than the claimed weight. And, most importantly, there is the issue of LPG quality, which can be detected through the quality of the flame produced.

Petron Gasul cylinders are manufactured to meet stringent safety standards including wall thickness, weld integrity and valve fitting. This ensures that the highly-combustible gas is safely contained in the LPG tank and poses no danger to your family.

LPG is sold by weight, with prices fluctuating on a per kilogram basis depending on world market prices. As ordinary consumers, a reliable brand like Petron Gasul gives us the assurance that we are indeed getting the correct amount of LPG that we pay for.

Poor-quality LPG produces a smoky yellowish flame that coats our pots and pans with black soot. Because of the lower burning temperature of the flame, this means higher consumption of LPG. Petron Gasul produces a clean-burning true-blue flame that is more economical while keeping your kitchen smoke-free and your pots and pans clean.

Protect your home and family. Ensure that the LPG you use in your home is safe, authentic, filled to the correct weight, and produces a true-blue flame. For your peace of mind, choose the laser-sealed Petron Gasul, the reliable partner of millions of Filipino households.

More information about new MV Agusta F3

I was pleasantly surprised yesterday with more information about new MV Agusta F3. The news spread all over the web quickly, but I decided to wait if someone published even more details, but now that’s it.

I’ve already written about new F3, check it out here:  MV Agusta F3 – an exotic spice for the 600 class , so this time I will just add few words, and hopefully make your day with some new photos I found.

Here’s what it’s all about: new F3’s engine is producing 135HP (100.8 kW) at 15000 rpm !! For 675cc 3-cylinder engine that’s a lot – and the best in the class! The only thing that worries me is that producing such power at and revving so high will give you tiny power/torque at low/medium rpms. Hm, it’s possible MV's engineers have solved out this problem, but we shall wait and see.

They also claim it will be most compact and lightest bike in the class, and I believe them.

The price is not defined yet, as well as release date. While most websites says it should be released in 2012, MV Agusta’s website for UK says that it is coming to UK this year. Go figure!

For the end, as I promised, there is a nice collection of MV Agusta F3 photos. I thought that Picasa Web is a better online tool for browsing the photo gallery, so just click on the photo below and go straight to my MV Agusta F3 photo album.

Panhead Racer and Other TT's

I don't normally like to just lift and post images from other blogs but I had to share this one I found on the Lucky B Design blog.

You don't see many factory photos or bikes like this. Looks to be a '51 TT Racer. Note the raised transmission and the magneto at the generator's location. You can definitely see how bikes like this influenced the street bobbers built by guys like Dick Hirshberg.

I then Googled Panhead TT and almost nothing came up. I did find the '48 below at http://roadboogers-1948panheadtt-bobber.blogspot.com The strange thing about this blog is that it's one page devoted to just this bike. A look at the guy's profile revealed that he has 20 blogs all dedicated to a single bike.

Nice, but a bit too shiny and pretty for me. Should old bikes be so pristine?

Almost a twin '47 from another of his blogs.

Updated Goldwing coming up next year!

I guess most of you have already heard about the new 2012 Honda Goldwing.

It’s not an all-new bike, but just updated current version of Goldwing. Besides cosmetic changes, here is what’s important:

- improved wind protection, especially for the lower body and legs

- saddlebag capacity is up for 7 liters, so now there is 150 liters of total storage

- updated Honda Satellite Linked Navigation System with brighter color screen

- updated Sound System now supports MP3 players

- better seat and backrest material

- revised suspension settings

- airbag models and non airbag models will be available, where non airbag models get a central storage pocket

- other minor tweaks

Share this post :

I believe this could be the last update of current Goldwing generation which is probably made to extend her lifetime till they prepare the next generation. BMW’s upcoming K1600GTL is going to be Goldwing’s main competition, and to be honest, BMW K1600GTL is a better bike. I’m sure Honda is already working on the next all–new generation of Goldwing, but we shall wait and see.

An interesting thing happened on the Motorcycle-USA.com website: at the first place they published a picture of a Goldwing with windscreen wiper and when I came later I couldn’t find that picture anymore. Windscreen wiper – isn’t that too much for a bike?
