My Motorcycle Story Weekend - July 25th, 26th and 27th 2014

Calling all motorcyclists on Google+ and beyond. Please Share This Post.

#MyMotorcycleStory  - Prizes

+GetGeared.co.uk are providing gift tokens for the posts that receive the most +1’s and comments combined.  The prizes are £150 first place, £100 second place and £50 third place.  +GetGeared.co.uk ship internationally so you can all enter. Entries will be judged at 12 noon Monday 4th August.  Good Luck.

Post photos and short videos (60 seconds or less) on My Motorcycle Story Weekend - July 25th, 26th and 27th 2014 showing your history of motorcycles and including the stories associated with them.  You can post as many photos or videos as you like - in fact the more the merrier as we are trying to get the hashtag #MyMotorcycleStory  to trend on Google+ and raise the profile and image of motorcycling here.

New to motorcycling?  That’s great because we want to hear your story of why you started riding too.  We would love to see every motorcyclist on Google+ and elsewhere posting at least one story over that weekend.  It is important to include the hashtag#MyMotorcycleStory  so that we can find your posts.

If you're out on the weekend of July 25th, 26th and 27th and you see a bike like one you used to own why not take a photo of it and ask the owner how they got started?  Let’s use our online motorcycle social networking to add to our real life social networking.

The hashtag #MyMotorcycleStory  should first be used on July 25th 2014 if this campaign is to be successful. Please don't use it before this date, thank you.

My Favourite Things – Posts On #womoco July 2013

These are some of my favourite posts out of the hundreds posted on the World Motorcycle Community last month.

The first is this computer art by +Louise Burrows which you can see here Ducati Night.  I really like the style of this painting.

The second is an original motorcycle art design Manga style Hamaguchi Racing.

Third in the list of no particular order is this banked track photo posted by +Mohamed Nofli which is here and gives the effect that the bike is clinging to that corner.

+Ashwin Raj T posted a photo that gives the full effect of the beauty and the prospects on a ride through Monument Valley.

+Marco Florian showed us that you can enjoy a day or two riding your bike on a race Track-day and than head off in to the Dolomite Mountains another day.  What a life!

Lastly is +David David's photo of his 75 year old Dad's new Ninja 300.  Old age is definitely the time to start biking if you haven't already tried it. Nothing better for keeping that heart rate up.

Enjoy #womoco.

La classifica delle 10 moto elettriche migliori al mondo

The best 10 electric bikes in the world.

Mentre ancora in Italia si perde tempo per mettere in regola tutte le infrastrutture necessarie all’avvento dei mezzi elettrici nelle nostre strade, nel mondo continua ad allargarsi la produzione di moto elettriche. Molte sono state prodotte in casa, in un piccolo garage con pochi attrezzi. Altre invece sono passate attraverso un’importante catena di montaggio.

Quella che vi proponiamo oggi è una classifica, stilata da GreenMe, delle 10 moto elettriche migliori prodotte finora in tutto il mondo. Si parte dalla più esclusiva, la Neiman Marcus Mission One, un gioiello da 75′000$, utilizzabile solo in pista e con una velocità di oltre 240 km/h e un’autonomia di 250km. La seconda è la più veloce finora, la Killa Cycle, prodotta in Colorado da una ragazza appassionata, che ha raggiunto la velocità di 285 km/h.

Sir Cathcart Rides Again

“The MotoCzysz C1 presents unique advantages in terms
of motorcycle dynamics that deserve to reach the marketplace.
It’s not until you ride it that you realize how much improved its
handling and performance are compared to a conventional in-line
four.” - Alan Cathcart

Alan Cathcart, the most experienced motorcycle journalist in the
world, rode the 08 990 C1 last Saturday (10-18-08). Mr. Cathcart was
one of the 3 original journalists to test the first Proof of Concept
bike. This was his first time to see, hear and ride the latest spec,
pre-production C1 - Alan was very impressed and his comments echo those
of earlier test riders, like Jeremy McWilliams, who called the C1
“the best turning bike ever”.

Alan tested the MotoCzysz C1 at the Reno-Fernley racetrack in
Fernley, Nevada. Though the track officials could not have been more
accommodating, the track itself was extremely rough and very bumpy;
conditions that helped illustrate the benefits of the C1.
