Good Reasons to Ride a Motorcycle
People who ride motorcycles are hardly the dangerous renegades depicted in most Hollywood flicks. It certainly doesn’t take a taste for the anti-social and a fetish for leather to enjoy riding your own motorcycle, nor do you need to join a biker gang to capitalize on all the benefits.
In the 21st century there are many valid reasons to ride a motorcycle that go beyond those related to personal fulfillment. Both a socially responsible choice and a pressure release valve for your personal economy, riding a motorcycle might just be the thing you need to look into to kick start your year into high gear. Here are some of the best reasons why it just makes sense to get around on two wheels, instead of four.
Your Ticket to Adventure
There is no movable box experience (such as car, buses, subways or trains) that can match the hands on feel and the sense of immediate motion that a motorcycle gives you. Even the most conservative bikers that protect themselves with a full set of armor (full-face helmet, body armor, gloves and protective eye wear) get a much better sense of movement than those looking at the road through a glass from inside a moving box.
Protect your Economy
First of all, the obvious: you will save money at the gas station. This will have a dramatic effect on your finances though you’re more likely to notice if you are tidy and keep your books in order (or if you just happen to be filling up the tank next to a regular SUV… you will feel their pain!). Motorcycles also spend less gas on going from point A to point B and decent bikes are much cheaper than any decent car you’ll find. As a bonus, motorcycle insurance is far cheaper than its car counterpart (and no heat transfers means no need for air conditioning.)
Save the World
Motorcyclists can be proud of their vehicle choice. Motorcycles pump out far fewer pollutants than cars and, being lighter, do less damage to the road itself. If we put electric motorcycles (something which is only starting to appear on the mainstream radar) on the equation, the ability to have a quiet commute with zero emissions becomes a reality.
It’s Cool
You know it, your dad knows it, even your geeky neighbour knows it. Riding a bike has long been associated with that bad boy image popularized by many Hollywood motion films during the 20th century. The best part is that you don’t have to be a bad boy yourself to capitalize on all that cultural baggage. So buckle up, take the fabric labels out of your jacket and join the cool club!

FAB Design makes the Ugliest. Panamera. Ever.
It took us a while, but we have finally realized what’s going on: tuning companies are overstocked with Butt Ugly. They didn’t ration their supply properly, now they’ve got unused cases of Butt Ugly lying around, stinking up the place. That’s why we’ve been assaulted with all these steaming piles lately — because 2010 Butt Ugly will be shipping soon, so all this 2009 Butt Ugly has got to go go go!
And that’s the best explanation we can come up with for this, the FAB Design Full Broadside Porsche Panamera. The “extrovert Wide Bodykit” is fashioned entirely from carbon fiber, not that it helps any. If we have anything nice to say, it’s that we don’t mind the wheels or three trapezoidal exhaust tips. Nor do we mind the upgraded engine doing 690 hp. But that wrapping… oh, the humanity…
Mercedes confirms next gen C-class to be built in USA and Germany
The diminishing value of the U.S. dollar, most notably against the Euro and Yen, is causing plenty of grief for foreign automakers. While the US market has been in the tank for the past two years, it still remains a major market for companies like Audi, BMW and Mercedes-Benz. All three brands have been looking at ways to relieve some of the exchange rate pressure and Mercedes has decided that more “dollar zone” production will be part of the solution.
When the next generation C-Class rolls out in 2014, German production will be consolidated at Daimler’s Bremen factory while units for the North American market will be built in the U.S. There’s been no announcement about where production will take place, but an expansion of the SUV factory in Alabama is one possibility. On a related side note, part of the reason the Premium German brands have recently avoided selling four-cylinder versions of their entry-level models in the States has been the exchange rates and the associated lack of profitability.
