TC Bank 'Dream Rangers'

I just hope I'm still able to ride at that age. If you think you can't because of whatever reason have a look at this and re-evaluate. Maybe it's only your mind holding you back.

Zero Motorcycles unveils faster-charging, even quieter 2011 motorcycle lineup (video)

I don't get why people think quiet is good on a motorbike. It should at least have some sound to let you know it exists. I can imagine riding one and keep thinking I have to start it all the time because it doesn't sound or feel as though it will do anything.

"To those who are still convinced that loud motorcycles make you more safe: it's best you look away now. The quietest bikes in the business just got even more silent."engadget

Woman Biker Down: 5 June 2010 I-80 Crash Aftermath

This is a good example of why everyone should:

a. ride with people who know what they're doing; and

b. wear the right gear when riding, especially when surrounded by people you don't know and don't know their riding ability

"This was a bike on bike wreck probably caused by a chain reaction when someone made a bad move in pack formation. This was the second crash of the day." Ladies Motorcycle Clothing

You don't see much in the video, but it looks like they were lucky it wasn't worse.
