France: The President of France Also Rides A Motorcycle
Posted on 08. Sep, 2010 by admin.
The French President Nicolas Sarkozy has been spotted riding a Piaggio scooter during his summer holidays.
Despite the fact that he should be fined €135 and docked 3 points from his license, for not properly wearing his helmet, I think it’s great news. Maybe he’ll understand the joy we get from riding motorcycles, and leave us alone…

The Spaniard clinched victory, proving that he possessed not only the speed, but also the fortitude to truly challenge Jorge Lorenzo. The question on everyone’s mind was this: Could Pedrosa and Repsol Honda really mount a solid comeback? to find out.

Our favorite bad girl: Pink burns her leg on Hart’s hot pipe

Remember when sex was safe and motorcycles were dangerous? Longtime two-wheel fanatics may recall the stern warnings from our concerned fathers regarding the single most dangerous part on your very first motorcycle. No, not the nut behind the bars – the burning-hot exhaust pipe. Pop-rocking, motorcycle-riding, all-around bad girl Pink apparently didn’t get the memo. The singer suffered the dreaded “pipe burn” during a recent ride aboard hubby and freestyle motocross legend bike.
Will the singer allow the mishap to put the brakes on her passion for motorcycles, or the men who ride them? Not likely, as she was in good spirits soon afterward, even poking fun at the accident via Twitter. She was quoted as saying, “burnt my leg on hubby’s pipes,” following that up with a statement that sparked a bit of controversy: “burns are no fun. Hot pipes aren’t either. At least not that kind.”
We’re not going to take a stab at what she’s referencing there. Let’s just hope Pink’s not in too much pain to perform another routine in time for next year’s Grammy awards, and is ready to tear up the streets on on her favorite again soon.

It looks like even Hollywood Superstars are not immune to the lure of well-crafted American Iron. The paparazzi recently caught out for a cruise aboard the one-off steed pictured above. Mr Pitt is no stranger to the health benefits of a good right-wrist exercise regiment – he’s been spotted cruising the left coast on several different cycles, including a full range of Ducatis as well as customs from .
So what exactly is Brad’s latest mount? If you notice the matching 21-inch wheels front and rear, this setup has become a trademark of designer . The California-based custom builder has been churning out some truly unique creations since his debut in 2002, as well as lending his designs to other manufactures like Swift Motorcycles.
One look at a Rooke Ride and it becomes apparent that his inspirations come from far beyond the traditional boundaries of an ever-struggling custom scene. This goes to show that cool is cool, no matter what package it’s served in. Now, if we could just get a leg over one of “the other Jesse’s” bikes in the near future… We hear they really do carve. Imagine that, a custom that corners. Who says choppers are dead?
