As a retired soldier I am always interested anytime the Army does something with motorcycles.  During my time served the closest I came to bikes in the Army was when the MP’s pulled me over! 

This electric “Stealth Bike” is an interesting concept, and very cool looking, but I am not sure how practical it would be in combat situations. A two hour run time does not give me a high degree of comfort, but maybe the manufacturer’s congressmen think otherwise!

P.S.   LOL..note the police bike version!

I was looking at another WordPress Motorcycle Blog (Helmet or Heels: I’m comfortable in either!) and saw this info-graphic from MotorcycleRoads.com.  I think this is a good portrayal of a something that is not only hard to quantify, but to display as well.  By the way the Helmet or Heels blog is very nice and I am following it now.

If you go the MotorcycleRoads.com site, check out its Top 100 Roads list.  There are several within riding distance of our home and I think we will check them out eventually.

The Ride To Work organization has designated, with the support of several local governments, the third Monday of every June as “Ride To Work Day.   This year that day is the 17th of June.  From their website: 

Ride your motorcycle or scooter on this day to demonstrate:

  • The number of motorcyclists to the general public and to politicians.
  • That motorcyclists are from all occupations and all walks of life.
  • That motorcyclists can reduce traffic and parking congestion in large cities.
  • That motorcycles are for transportation as well as recreation.
  • That motorcycling is a social good.

If you have time visit their website for more information and access to supporting material.
