Former seven-times F1 world champion Michael Schumacher will race this weekend in Germany’s leading bike racing series, the IDM Superbike championship. I just wish my retirement was that great at the age of 37.

Good luck, Schumi! We’ll be rooting for you.

Girls and Motorcycles

Tuesday, April 29th, 2008

Don’t ask me how I found this. This is a pretty interesting picture collection I discovered on Flickr. It is a very creative way of comparing girls with motorcycles, or motorcycles with girls. It is entirely up to you to decide which is primary and which is secondary. Personally it would be a really tough […]

Some time ago Motodisiac showed me this commercial. It was a KTM Super Duke 990 commercial that KTM had to take down from their site as it did not promote the right riding attitude and style. When you see it you will probably understand why.

Today I read this blog post that showcased a Subaru commercial. […]

Need For Speed
