Can you even begin to count the times you’ve been stuck on your motorcycle behind a slow vehicle and desperately wanted to pass but were in a no passing zone? Do you pass or not? Some (many?) riders will disregard the possible dangers and pass anyway. Others will sit on their impatience and tough it out until it is safe to pass. Which camp are you in? Me? Well, I always respect no passing zones {Photo}

Another hazard we don’t have to worry about in most of the US. I’m guessing that riding in a sandstorm is about as dangerous as riding in a rainstorm. But wear and tear on the bike would be worse. Anybody ever ridden in a sandstorm?

This Kawasaki ZX-636 was plated with 24 caret gold and presented by Two Brothers Racing to racer James “Bubba” Stewart. The bike appears on the cover of Cycle World’s April 2006 issue.

Would you believe Reese Witherspoon on a motorcycle? Nah, not in that outfit anyway. Though the Belstaff jacket is nice. This photo was taken during filming for the movie Penelope in London.

I can’t decipher her expression. Is she portraying a startled rabbit? Thinking “what am I doing here?” Or “Okay I’m seated, now what?” The outfit seems more appropriate for an extra in Mars Attack! or a National Lampoon biker flick.
