Driving to work in the morning can be a tedious and annoying affair. At least, we imagine it is, since we are chained to the wall of a basement staring at a computer screen for 23.5 hours per day. One vehicle that can make any commute quicker is a motorcycle… perhaps even a stupid-fast literbike like the Yamaha R1.

Combine a rider with a need for death speed, a 25-mile commute through Russian traffic and a powerful two-wheeled samurai sword, and you get a video showing the “quick” way to work. Sometimes this two-wheeler even becomes a one-wheeler as rare empty stretches of road disappear when the nose goes skyward.

According to our tipster Andy (Thanks!), the title translates to “A couple minutes of my life could be more interesting than the whole life of the other people.” It’s certainly interesting, but we prefer pushing vehicles to our limit on a track. Regardless, the music choice is excellent and the riding would make Trinity jealous. We don’t condone this type of action, but that doesn’t mean we can’t all check out the video, which you can watch after the jump.

I could name a few people who could do some of the same stuff.  However, maybe not in this kind of traffic.

The V-10 engine goes from zero to 100 in just four seconds. Even if you can run from the vehicle (which is nearly impossible), its sophisticated digital monitoring system will record your violation and catch up with you in the end.

When you ask someone for their license, registration, and insurance documents during a traffic stop, do you take them out of the driver’s hand immediately after they’re presented to you? If so, you might be robbing yourself of a valuable behavioral observation opportunity.

Instead, consider waiting a few extra seconds, particularly if you think you might be dealing with someone hinky. As you know, a higher than usual level of nervousness can be a reliable indicator of possible problems. By waiting a little longer to grab the license or other paperwork you’re giving yourself an opportunity to watch for extreme shaking. One interdiction officer reported dealing with a driver who began shaking so badly after the officer hesitated before taking his license that he could barely keep it from falling out of his hand.

Sure enough, the guy turned out to be a mule.

Based on suggestions from members, this month’s dinner ride will be at the Black Angus, 5075 N. Oracle Rd., on Tuesday, the 28th, at 1830 hours. I will send out a reminder and RSVP request at the end of the week prior to the dinner ride.   On the Northwest Corner of Oracle & River Rd.

With the new plans to increase sales, Harley-Davidson will eliminate the production and sales of sidecars. I know you’re all very disappointed since sidecars are such a hot addition to your motorcycle, but there just isn’t a demand in the market for them anymore.Harley first released the sidecar to customers back in 1914 as a solution to transporting belongings without having to sacrifice riding your motorcycle. It’s also a spot for another passenger to ride in or even a dog if you really need to. But I’m sure everyone would agree that sidecars aren’t that great of an addition to a Harley, which is probably why you rarely see em attached to many bikes. Financially, this is a great move on the manufacturer’s part to cut costs where money isn’t generating.It seems as though Harley really is taking their new marketing plan seriously, and hoping to bring a new wave of motorcycle buyers.

The Laughlin Bash Public Safety Motorcycle Rally is September 29th – October 3rd.  I am a Co founder of the Rally and it would be great to get the Blue Knights out to the function.  The site is LAUGHLINBASH. The more Knights the better :)

I also attached a colored flyer which can be emailed and posted. Thanks in advance

Laughlin Bash Info/Registration

The Laughlin Bash is a non-profit Public Safety motorcycle event for ALL active and retired Public Safety personnel. (i.e. EMS, Police, Fire, Corrections etc). This Event is not to be confused with the Laughlin River Run, which is held in April.

The Rally is an opportunity for all current and retired Public Safety personnel to get together, make new and see old friends. If you don’t ride a motorcycle come on by anyhow.

Laughlin is a great place to hold this event.  It has the hotel rooms, casinos, outlet shopping and water sport activities on the Colorado River.  Let’s put it this way, there’s a lot to do in Laughlin and at the hotel.  There is the Beach…Paddle Boats, Jet Ski Rentals, the Comedy Club at 7:00 pm each night and Octoberfest on the Boardwalk for all of October!

The average temperature is in the low 90′s to 70′s in the evening, with no to very little humidity, and LOTS of sunshine……… the guaranteed great riding weather!

Our preferred hotel this year will be the Edgewater Hotel – Casino Resort.

We also provide links to the other hotels nearby if you prefer to stay somewhere else.

On the Saturday night, the 50/50 draw will take place for monies going to the winner’s favorite Charity.  The more people you have in your group attending and the more tickets you purchase, the greater chance of winning.  On your registration online for attendance, please list your Charity.
