It’s not every day that you come across a temple to a Royal Enfield Bullet.

Not much of a travel bike if you wake up every morning and you're back where you started :rofl:

I'll leave it to someone else to say their bike has been like that for years ...

I accept that this is not really part of the routine Horizons Unlimited means of transport but people are still travelling around the world. My only criticism is that she went too quickly to smell the coffee. Fair play to her though, she took on a big challenge from a technical, bureaucratic and skills perspective and overcame all of the obstacles in her path.

The search for a stolen bike

News about the former owner of Norton

Tempted though I was to put this in the “Whick Bike” section I have refrained.

Anyway, this will get you to the remote places that most bike can’t easily get to.

I suspect that this is essentially the manned version of a drone and on significant amounts of steroids. Could be fun, if somewhat expensive.

Yes, I saw that on another site (can't remember which), but the picture is more 'serving suggestion' than the 'professional rider pictured' that you get on brochures. I think it's still in development and the Mk1 version will come with a gun mounted in the front as it's Special Forces that seem to be particularly enthusiastic.

The requirement was that anyone could learn to ride it in 10 mins so there's a lot of A.I. 'under the hood'. Having said that, if it went on anything like public sale they would sell every one they could make - but instead of planting trees as carbon offset they'd need to hand out 1000 pairs of ear defenders for the purchaser's neighbours. :rofl:

The former Norton owner has been sentenced but I am amazed at how lenient this sentence is. A suspended sentence for robbing £11,000,000 from people’s pensions? I feel a complaint coming on to try to trigger a sentence review.

Was very much my thoughts as well when I saw this. However it probably reflects that fact that his actions were driven by ignorance not malice. The money was put into the company, which failed, and not into Garner's own pockets. He himself was worth millions when he bought Norton, now he's bankrupt.

3D motorbike riding (flying) That should be fun !

How do you think the fires started?

Well, this has the potential to be very positive for the world. An effective vaccine against malaria:

Thought for a moment you were posting about the expected imminent demise of Queen Elizabeth. But this is far better :)

There was recently a police motorbike accident on a UK motorway. The rider was injured but it would appear that he was saved from more serious injury by air bags in his clothing. More information here.
