There's a new Instructables page up that shows you how to mod your regular motorbike into an eco-warrior electric cycle. You'll be able to hit a top speed of 70mph after shelling out $3000 to complete the project. Thankfully, you'll probably make the money back in saved fuel in approximately a days use. The machine pictured above is a mid-mod bike. Sure, the 72v motor is held in place by rope, but it isn't properly finished yet, so give the modder a break. If you have the time, spare cash, a bike that's looking at you with contempt and the technical know how, give it a shot and then send us a video of the finished article. Hit the link if you're tough enough. [Instructables via Hack n Mod]

That is when the rider of a motorbike jumps off the bike and rotates his/her entire body for a full 360 degrees. This has been done by Chuck Carothers on his freestyle motorbike. Watch the amazing video below:
As far as I know this hasn’t been duplicated by anyone else.
Melbourne: Just weeks after puncturing his stomach and gashing his hip in practice Robbie Maddison has smashed the world record for longest motorbike jump with a jump of 107 metres, (350 feet) 9 metres longer than the record he set on New Year's Eve.The record was one of six set on the night. Maddison said that it was amazing to break the record in front of a home crowd including his family and friends."I have been doing huge jumps and breaking personal records in training this week so I knew that I had it ... but nothing could have prepared me for how great this feels," said Maddison.

With the increase in attention of motorbikes (thanks to the likes of Ewan McGregor and Charley Boorman), more and more people are considering buying a motorbike for use as their main mode of transport. While buying a motorbike may be a hassle in itself, getting insurance for it is another thing to worry about. However, there are certain factors insurance companies use to see if you qualify for their insurance policies and also to calculate your premium rates.
One of the first things they consider is you, the driver. The most common issues are your age, where you live, where you work and your driving history. Age is considered because the older you are, the lower the premium rates would be. However, this rule would be null and void if you’re a beginner in the world of motorcycling. Where you live and work is also an issue in terms of where you would park your motorbike when it’s not in use. Is it in a secure and well-lit area or parked beside a kerb on an open road? If it&r
And NO, he is still alive. Zunaid Hoosen Mia was caught speeding his bike at a mere 276km/h (that is 171.5 mph) because he was late for his breakfast run. His punishment? 150 hours community service in the morgue!! I think that should be disturbing experience, but hopefully a wake up call for this maniac! He claims that he didn’t know at what speed he was travelling, because it was too dangerous to look down at such a speed.
The judge wanted to suspend Mia’s driver’s license, but took into account that he is the sole breadwinner for his wife, and three small children. If you ask me, its more of a risk to have him on his bike, than without a license, but who am I to judge. I’m just still wondering why the judge didn’t think of public transport?
He was also given a fine of R60 000 or three years in prison. Two-thirds of his sentence was suspended for five years.

The type of motorbike finance that you qualify for will depend on a few factors. Is the bike new or used, what type of credit rating do you have? New motorbike finance options may be limited if you have a low credit rating; used motorbike finance options are ideal for consumers who have low credit ratings, but wish to purchase a quality used motorbike.
There are different types of secured motorbike loans that may fit your needs, and it is important to find the right one for you. Some secured loans will use direct collateral such as your home or car to secure the loan. Additional secured loans will use money you have in a savings account to secure the loan; the money in the savings account is frozen, interest will still build on the savings amount, and the savings amount only needs to be equal to a portion of the total loan amount.
