Motorcycle Code of Conduct for London Bus Lanes

With the forthcoming opening of London Red Bus lanes to motorcyclists on the 9th January the MCI (Motorcycle Industry Association) has published a Code of Conduct for motorcyclists who will be using the bus lanes. The Code has been developed with the Metropolitan police and supported by riders groups, Motorcycle News and motorcycle dealerships.

So if you intend to ride your motorcycle or scooter in the soon to be opened London Red Bus lanes you can download a copy of the Code from the MCI website at www.mcia.co.uk, it comes as both a leaflet and a business card in cut out and keep format.

Ride safe.

2009 Ducati 1098 R Bayliss Limited Edition video

Just posted the following motorcycle video up on www.YouTube.com and www.inter-bike.co.uk of the 2009 Ducati 1098 R Bayliss Limited Edition at the 2008 Carole Nash International Motorcycle and Scooter Show.


Created by Ducati as a tribute to legendary World Superbike Champion Troy Bayliss, this limited edition motorcycle will only be produced as a limited run of 500 units. With its unique colour scheme by Aldo Drudi and approved by Troy this could be the ultimate 1098 R to own. With a numbered plague on the top yoke and the added bonus of a full racing exhaust system including 102dB carbon fibre mufflers by Termignoni (strictly for track use only), a dedicated ECU, branded bike cover and rear paddock stand.

Simply stunning!

Ride safe.

Bikes, Camera, Action!

Harley-Davidson recently ran a contest that encouraged women who ride motorcycles to make a two minute video showing the joy of the ride.
There were a great many entries but the winning video came from Vickie Sampson with Her Need for Speed (see video below).


In addition Harley-Davidson announced Melissa Kosars Girls Night Out video as one of two first runner-up winners and Marta Masferrers Here Comes the Bride as the other runner up video winner (see videos below).





I hope after watching these excellent videos you will agree they show the true joy of the ride!

Ride safe.
