The Ontario Honda Dealers of motorbikes, ATVs and power equipment have added local excitement to a national promotion. Making its return after a successful 2010 debut, The Honda Summer Lovin’ Event is a time-limited opportunity to save cash on selected Honda bikes and ATVs. But when the rest of the country finishes, Ontario will still feel the love with exciting contest tactics. The dealers are giving away a motorbike worth $8,899 in an internet contest, but the larger news for many players is the chance to get Facebook Credits. Millions of folk use Facebook credits to get games and goods, and the buzz is growing fast. As of July one, Facebook Credits become the sole currency accepted on Facebook. So they’re reaching a critical mass now. “The timing could not have been better,” claims Derek Verheyen, Team Lead – Central Zone MCPE Sales of Honda Canada Inc. “People are excited.” He asserts, “They want to know the way to get Facebook Credits.

How Motorists Can Avoid Collisions With Motorcycles

<!–ACNTP

“75% of motorcycle accidents can be avoided,” notes Giuseppe Pino Mileto, inventor of the Motorbike Alert System. According the Traffic Safety Center Hurt Study, 75 percent of motorcycle accidents result when motorists fail to spot motorcycles in traffic. The drivers simply don’t see the motorcycle in time to avoid an accident. Many nations have made countless attempts to increase bike safety and awareness. The U.K, Australia and the U.S. – just to talk about a few – have focused their campaigns on motorists taking more time to search for motorcycles.

Campaigns like Florida Bike Safety Campaign ; Be Sweet, Look Again Save a Life media release – Think Biker – Take Longer to Look for Bikes (Think UK) – Don’t Ride Us Off – You Did Not See Me – Safe Drivers Look For Motorbikes – Share The Road – What Do We Have To Do To Get Spotted, and lots more. Unfortunately the campaigns did not produce the results we were looking for. While less automobile drivers are killed or injured in bike / automobile accidents, the price of such accidents is very high. According to the Hurt Study, less than ten percent of motorcycle riders carry insurance to cover hospital therapy or property damage. Since most motorcycle accidents involve driver error on the part of automobile drivers, the expenses land heavily on those drivers.

To save motorcycle riders and vehicle drivers from major injuries / fatalities, Mileto invented the Bike Caution System (MWS), a device to alert motorists of approaching motorcycles, particularly motorbikes approaching a junction, or being in the motorist’s blind spot. Once adopted, this new device could help to eliminate thousands of accidents each year. Mary E. Peters, U.S. Secretary of Transport, on motorbike awareness : NHTSA Safety Video by Mary E. Peters, “Ride Safe, Be Smart” For more information on the MWS go to motorcyclewarningsystem.

Lauderdale, FL, Houston, TX, LA, CA, New York, NY, San Francisco, CA, San Diego, CA, Seattle, WA & Internationally : Great Britain (of course), Sweden & Japan.

With the renewed interest together with last year’s coverage Cafeteria Racer Magazines TV Series, we are expecting a big turnout this year. Rahr & Sons Brewing Co. & Crispin Hard Cider are partnering as a presenting sponsors this year. Additionally, Dime Town Cycles hailing from Largo Florida (& Cafe Racer TELEVISION fame) will sponsor the gig, with Amsterdam Bar, Belmont Hotel & Smoke Restaurant, Dallas Town Mods, TwoWheelTrips Lee Harvey’s, Lakewood Insurance, Vespa Dallas, Elm Street Tattoo, Mike, Killing City Roller Derby, North Texas Norton Owners Organisation, Ton Up, Get Bent Scooter Club, ACE Scooter Club & Soldier Clothing.

Amsoil booth at the Gladstone Car Show

Gladstone Car Show

So, I was at the Gladstone Car and Motorcycle Show last Sunday. It’s during the Gladstone, Missouri Gladfest. It’s like a fall festival/carnival/fair all in one, right in the middle of Gladstone. On Sunday there is the car show, which is a benefit for the Gladstone school system automotive program. I have an Amsoil booth there, and I also donate their website on Concrete 5. Please visit the website at www.gladstonecarshow.com for the pictures and videos. I also started a Gladstone Car Show youtube channel at http://www.youtube.com/gladstonecarshow. I did not have any professional camera or anything, I’m not really responsible for content on the website but I took some pictures and video with my phone.

A Federal Court Judge has denied a Harley Davidson motion to dismiss Harley bikers’ claims for fraudulent and unfair business practices, violations of Consumers Legal Remedies Act (CLRA), and unjust enrichment. A class action lawsuit may now go forward against Harley Davidson alleging certain Harley motorcycle engines produce severe, and excessive heat causing burn injuries and clothing to catch on fire.
Valenica, CA (PRWEB) August 06, 2011

Harley Davidson Sued

Last week, a federal judge ruled that a class action lawsuit against Harley Davidson could go forward, siding with four bikers who claim their Harley Davidson motorcycles were defectively designed because their engines ran so hot as to pose a constant danger to riders of being burned and were therefore not fit for their intended use.

The complaint alleges that since 1999, Twin Cam 88, 96, 103 and 110 cubic inch engines in Harley motorcycles produce severe, excessive heat causing clothing to catch on fire, burn injuries and the danger of burn injury to riders and passengers as well as overheating causing premature engine wear and in models manufactured after 2006, transmission failure. Although Harley Davidson asked the Eastern District of California court to throw out the claims under state law, the U.S. District Judge sided with the bikers.

Greg Owen, a partner at Los Angeles personal injury attorneys Owen, Patterson & Owen and one of the lawyers representing the plaintiffs in this case, states, “Harley Davidson has known about this problem from the early 2000s and has the technology to fix it, but has chosen to sell tens of thousands of touring bikes here in California without disclosing this known defect. When Harley customers complain to Harley’s dealers after purchase, Harley’s response is that’s normal and it refuses to offer an effective fix to the problem.”

Owen believes the unsafe heat problem is due to Harley selling larger engines that cannot comply with the emission standards of many states, including California.

‘The fix is pretty simple,’ says Owen, “and Harley already has it – manufacture touring bikes with liquid cooled engines instead of air cooled engines. If Harley did that this serious design and safety defect would go away.”

The recent ruling allows the case to move forward, and Harley Davidson will now face Class Action Certification process at the end of the month. image
