We thought they would learn something after buying MV, they thought its so perfect and cool that they could not change anything, actually they gave it better breaks and LED turn signals!!!

Still looks like a Mutant thou.

Biaggi

Biaggi on the Aprilia scored his first win of the season in race one at Brno, It was also Aprilia’s first win in the category since 2001, Biaggi cruised to finish line after Spies and Fabrizio were eliminated when Fabrizio crashed taking down Spies down with him, Troy Corser on the S1000RR led the opening two laps, while Xaus on the same bike crashed out on the first lap.

In race two Spies led towards his eleventh win of the season, but it wasn’t easy as he had to keep Biaggi at bay, Biaggi took second, third went to Fabrizio.

A dual crash for the Fiat Yamaha team

dovizioso

The headline should have read “Dovizioso first ever premier class victory” but i just couldn’t resist, after leading the race for a couple of rounds Lorenzo hit the asphalt and went out of the race, with 11 rounds to go Rossi crashed, but managed to ride the bike again and continue the race.

Stoner prediction for a rain fall was wrong and going with the wet tiers costed him the race.

The entertaining battle was between podium finishers Colin Edwards and Randy de Puniet, Monster Tech 3 Yamaha man Edwards took second from the LCR Honda rider on the final hairpin.

Master your wheelies

ATS

This is nice gadget and a good investment to protect your investment, the ATS or Anti Turnover System by Romanelli Technologies will prevent the wheelie from going beyond control, it only kicks in when the motorcycle’s front wheel rises beyond the safe limit, it interrupts the ignition bringing the wheel back down.

So if you ever wanted to wheelie your babe and afraid of crashing it then this is for you.

I was in Shuwaikh yesterday and noticed a new motorcycle showroom…i looked up to the sign and saw the following brands: Aprilia, PIAGGIO, Vespa, GILERA, and MOTO GUZZI !!!

Parked quickly.. went down to check it out and there it was…a part of Italy’s’ motorcycle history, a showroom full of Vespa scooters, Moto Guzzi, and Aprilia ..

The Vespas’ were irresistible…i don’t know how i resisted going back on one, Vespa is an icon and it doesn’t matter if you are a male or a female, young or old, a house wife or a businessman the Vespa will have your heart skip a beat…this scooter is one of the few bikes that have a style of its own and has maintained its classic and classy looks look over the years.. no visit to Italy is complete without renting a Vespa and riding it on the twisty roads of Sorrento.

rossi.lorenzo

Sachsenring track is a very narrow track and its straits are very short, racers spend around 90% of the time with their knee down…any race on that track is really fun to watch.

Stoner was back in shape and led the race for a while, but the doctor had a couple of surprises for both Stoner and Lorenzo..for a while i thought Lorenzo would claim the podium but us usual the doctor is always there and ready to take advantage of the slightest miscalculation made by any of the racers.

Use your head

safety

“Use your head ” is the latest guerrilla marketing campaign from Ducati, a group of umbrella girls hit the streets of Milan coming into direct contact with bikers to promote safe riding, talk about safety and the responsible use of motorcycles.

I wonder what would happen if the traffic department here runs a similar campaign?

Cairo,

Make sure you stay at a 10 Stars hotel –Sofitel El Gezirah is good-, you don’t need to spend more than 2 days there…the morning of the first day you visit the pyramids and museum in the afternoon you find a good restaurant and have lunch -grilledfried sea food is your safest bet, then go back to the hotel for a siesta.

In the evening you could take a Nile tour -hotels have the best ones- at night around 1 am find a good night club to watch belly dancing because you didn’t visit Cairo if don’t do a belly dance night.. at 7am you leave the night club back to hotel have breakfast and sleep.

Night clubs: Samire Amis Intercontinental and a couple at Haram St.

Restaurants: Abu El Seed, and Nile City.

Coffee: On The Go at any gas station, Bottled Water: Nestle

Don’t ask taxi drivers or waiters for recommendations, only ask the concierge or do some googling. Read more
