Tourstart - explore the world

What does a server and a motorcycle tour have in common?

jap — Fri, 16 Sep 2011 17:56:27 +0000

Hi,
Well, there are a lot in common, as Tourstart finally got a new and faster server.

Tourstart new web server

Now it is possible to share tours and motorcycle related activities even faster. Our new server is also placed in a high quality server room where we have a connection direct to the back-bone of the internet. Now we are as fast as Flash Gordon travelling at the speed of light on this rocket cycle.

Faster than speed of light

Now it is possible for you to use your latest computer technology to get some inspiration for motorcycle activities and tours or to plan your next ride – and of course transfer direct to your GPS.

Latest in computer technology

I hope you enjoy the increased speed – and remember it is only safe to travel at the speed of light on the www – not on your own rocket cycle.

Have a safe ride,
Jan

Motorcycle design

jap — Sun, 15 May 2011 09:53:57 +0000

Hi,
The past has shown many motorcycle designs which we can either regret were ever made, or be thrilled that the manufactures had the guts to produce. Killiger & Freund make this motorcycle which were front wheel driven, so the engine were mounted inside the front wheel. Pretty cool and innovative, but where to put the wife and the luggage for the long motorcycle tour? Never mind, the design is nice and it will be great in any motorcycle collection.

The French has always been strong in specialized design, and this Majestic supports this. Here is the space for the luggage at least. But is it a torpedo designer who liked motorcycle, or is it just me…

During WWII there were also a need for motorcycles, and they were delivered in a parachute container. Pretty neat solution. Will be great on the camping site or at a rally. Might not impress the crowd when trying to make a burner….

Do we need this design? Some designers had a good time and made a proposal how the future motorcycle can look like, but I am not too convinced. On the other hand, now anybody can do a wheelie.

Finally, we do not know if the motorcycle continues being so popular, why this might be an option. Or, if you just cannot decide whether to buy a car or a motorcycle, and will not spend the money on buying one of each.

But, next to his music he is known for his love for motorcycles.

Even Elvis were a great fan of American iron, he were also riding japanese bikes.

So why not take the best from both worlds, and enjoy him in a video on a motorcycle?

Happy New Year 2011

jap — Sat, 01 Jan 2011 09:37:23 +0000

Hi,
Happy New Year and all the best for your friends, family and of course you.

Happy New year 2011

So what now? Time to make some wishes for the new year, and to start the healthy life style you never got. That is pretty boring, so why not make some new year wishes which are fun? I suggest that you make some great plans of new places to ride you motorcycle or getting hold of the motorcycle you always wanted. There are so many roads and so little time, so to keep up the enthusiasm about the new years wish, make the new years wish a nice and pleasant one.

Have a great ride,
Jan

What is a great ride?

Looking for a new helmet?

jap — Fri, 03 Dec 2010 06:28:27 +0000

Hi,
Ones in a while you need to have a look on your gear and assure you are wearing the best suitable for your personal safety and protection. Helmets viagra not last for ever, and as I just fell over this design, I think the series of helmets will suit most motorcyclists.

The gear we wear reflects our personality, and are you a cosmopolitan, this might suit you.

Helmet for the true cosmopolitan

Many bikers do not feel the freedom if wearing a helmet. This is now solved, so you can look after personal safety and not freeze your ears off.

I-do-not-like-a-helmet-but-I-use-one-anyway

Some like it hot -and why not?

My bud is hotter than my bike

I do not think this will add anything to road safety. But down at the café everybody will notice you crusing into the parking place.

What is on a man´s mind..

Hi,
Not everything is as it appears at first sight. Check out this cool biker ready to show off how to treat a motorcycle. Exicted to see what he can do? I am….

Surpriced?? I was…

Now we are in the end of the motorcycle season on the northern hemisphere, and it will take forewer before we see can fire up the motorcycle again. But wait a bit… Why not follow this leader of the pack and purchase a mini bike and have some fun days indoor?

Do you exceed the local speed limits?

jap — Sun, 24 Oct 2010 08:58:20 +0000

Hi,
Ever exceeded the local speed limits on your motorcycle? Hmm – then you have got the attention of the local guys, and I am not sure they fancy what you are up to. We all have different needs, and we for sure need to communicate with each other to understand each other. The people living where you speed, might need you to slow down – while the local’s do not understand that this is the best spot ever to get rid of some adrenalin and you driving licence. All at the same time..

Now check those guys here how they communicate – something unclear?

Respect the local speed limits

You better slow down, so you are welcome at the local diner.

I love my bike…..

jap — Sun, 03 Oct 2010 20:00:29 +0000

Hi,
Sorry girls, this is a bit male chauvinistic – but it is reality….

I know exact the feeling when admiring the bike and taking it for a ride. Now it is time to let the movie begin.

Am I right or wrong?

Have a jolly good ride,

Tired of flat tyres?

jap — Thu, 26 Aug 2010 04:34:45 +0000

Hi,
A puncture is not torcycle with the new modern tyres, and what also add to the long life of the tyres is that we normally do not ride that much on gravel roads. At least in some countries and if you are not a off-roader. Well, getting back to the into of this blog post, it is not a memorarble thing to get a puncture, when you have decided to explore the world. To explore the tool box and test your skills as a DYI in the roadside does not necessarily make the tour a better experience. And it does not help you to look up on the GPS for directions to a garage….

I think the point is clear in this video, and the tyres are not getting flat.

Hindu fakir

But the tyre has more holes that a hindu fakir laying on a bed of sharp nails, why it must be a really good bargin if I shall buy those tyres…

Have a save ride,
Jan
