Friend of Bubble Visor - Eicma part 1

Mystery guest Friend of Bubble Visor's exclusive Eicma report!

"Here are some pictures of the EICMA show. Overall it was a good show, and there were some beautiful bikes. Quite a number of bikes appear to be coming back year on year like some of the TPR Triumphs. Perhaps the Italian custom builders are holding out for the Verona show.
The RNineT is a nice bike and a nice concept, but at that price I wonder how many young people will be able to afford it. I think it will mainly be sold to BMW's current customers.

Having said that, I really want to see what the bearded Parisians, the Berlin blacksmiths and the Galician cannibals will make of it. ;-)

Oh and yes, I need to get a faster lens on my camera, or a flash, because I had to throw away more than half of my pictures and even some of these are not all that sharp. I'll stick to the dayjob for now and leave photography to the pros :)"

Ring A Ding Ding - part 1

Deus Venice, California organised a two stroke festival called RING A DING DING and they send me some nice pictures of the event.

"The parking lot at The Emporium of Postmodern Activities is, for the most part, a civilized place; an evolved tarmac where mannerly citizens maneuver their EPA compliant vehicles in an orderly, adult fashion. It’s a peaceful strip of asphalt. Sometimes, though, shit gets out of hand. Well, sort of. Not really. What we’re talking about here is Ring A Ding Ding, the two stroke love-in we threw last weekend that transformed our otherwise genteel back lot into an oil and gas breathing attack on the senses. Over fifty motorcycles were on display, each displaying their unique bits of personality when their owners started them up. The resulting choir of smoke and sound that filled the air was all too fitting for the Fourth of July weekend. Firing up a two-stroke motorcycle is like lighting fireworks. The crackle of the engine sounds like fireworks, the smoke pouring out of the exhaust looks like fireworks. The whole thing just feels like you’re breaking a bunch of rules, like it can blow up in your face at any moment. It’s that uneasiness you feel when you’re not quite sure if your neighbors are going to call the cops. It’s awesome"

Thanks guys, cool stuff!
