I spotted this road condition sign on highway 88 leaving Pine Grove, California the other day.

Earlier in the week during various long-distance drives, I had seen similar signs proclaiming "Click It Or Ticket" and "Speed Kills" - so this one seemed like icing on the cake.

Happy Independence Day!

I shot these photos in downtown Jackson, California a few months back. The VFR 800 was parked near a shop I was visiting, the tasty Scorpion exhaust system caught my eye.

So, I whipped out my camera, and shot a few close-ups just to test the camera and practice close-up photography. I hope you like the results.

Later, I heard the VFR start up, as the owner was preparing to leave - the Scorpions sounded very nice indeed.

Now this is just too cool - Hartley Enterprises mates two Suzuki Haybusa motors, grafting them together to make a jewel-like, lightweight V8 motor. Click here to continue...

The Sunday Morning Ride

Early Sunday morning. Sun rising over the hill. Birds flitting about, chirping.

You approach the garage. The air is crisp and clear. No wind. It’s quiet out, not many people up right now – the usual buzz of human activity is conspicuously absent. Click here to continue...

This tow vehicle is based on the Honda Gold Wing - since it's smaller than a tow truck, it can get thru stopped traffic much faster than a truck.

The superior manoeuvrability of the Retriever is due to a towing device folded on to the back of the motorcycle - making the vehicle only 95 cm wide.

The towing device is not unfolded until you reach the disabled vehicle. This innovative design allows the Retriever to reach cars swiftly and tow them safely.

The Retriever gets your towing company on the road and allows it to grow your business - because you will be faster than your competitors at reaching customers. Click here to continue...

According to the Dallas Morning News, members of the local police and fire departments will have to live by the same rules as the rest of us.

Meaning: They will be fined if caught on camera running red lights and they are not on an emergency call.

It's about time this became a nationwide phenomenon, if we have to live with these surveillance systems. Click here to continue...
