Motorcycle Pastimes in the August Sun

It's been a slow week. Maybe people have finally decided to take a motorcycle vacation since gas prices are starting to inch downward again. Some have gone to the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally but I hear that vendors and attendance there are taking a hit this year.

A lot of people are taking staycations this year. I guess I'm one of them. I have to save up to be able to participate in the Polar Bear Grand Tour that starts the last weekend of October. Gasoline for two trikes could end up costing $1000 for that six month tour throughout the winter. I take all the pictures at the various runs and maintain their website.

For those not out on their motorcycles, here's a few things you can do on my website:

Now if only they had motorcycle racing or motorcycle trials in the 2008 Summer Beijing Olympics, there would be more to do.

Honda Motorcycle Commercial - "Free Yourself"

I just opened my June, 2007 issue of Rider Magazine and found a strange pull-out ad of a Honda VTX1800F. It involves a driver caught in traffic who bursts through the roof and dons huge red wings. He leaps into the air and the words "Free Yourself" appear as a Honda motorcycle roars down the road. Turns out there is a TV ad of this. Check out the following link that describes the making of the ad and then click on the internal link to view the ad. I had to do a right-mouse-click "Save as Target" command to save it to my computer. You may have better luck.
