Biker shoots bus driver in Moscow
|
3 comment(s)
A biker shot a bus driver of the emergency elevator service with a traumatic gun on October 6 after a traffic conflict. The driver was injured and taken to the hospital.
The incident took place on 1st Magistralnaya Street early in the morning on October 6, 2011. It all started when, amid habitually heavy morning road traffic, the biker tried to squeeze between the lanes. Annoyed at the bus driver’s reluctance to let him through, the biker crushed the left side-view mirror on the bus. In return, the driver got out of the bus and snatched the ignition key from the biker so that he could not leave. At this point, the biker fired his traumatic gun several times at the bus driver in retaliation. The driver was later rushed to the hospital.

Andrey Urzhumtsev: 7 months, 40,000 km. An exhilarating experience
Andrey Urzhumtsev, a Russian businessmen with a passion for unique motorcycle trips, shares with us his impressions from his latest journey – from Africa to Russia.
“The first part of my journey from Moscow to Cape Town taught me a lot. The 23,000 kilometers across the dark continent quickly dispelled the illusion that an off-road bike could easily cope with a cross country trip through Africa. It took me a great deal of effort to learn to ride on stones and sand. The journey also proved that all my travel gear was a mistake. Workers from travel equipment stores and Internet users were shown to be equally mistaken. So, while preparing my bike for the return journey, I decided to use the help of South African specialists. As an upside, prices are more agreeable in South Africa, even far more agreeable.
“With the oldest desert in the world to cover (the Namib Desert), the bike was fitted out with various protection gear from sand and stones. They used Continental tires, and although these tires are good for short journeys, they did not last for the second time (the first time I tried them was between Kenya and South Africa). In short, my preparations were more thorough this time around than before my departure from Moscow.
“After the repairs were complete, it was recommended that I make short trips around to test-ride the bike. I decided to use the time to satisfy my curiosity, since any place of interest in South Africa is, in my estimation, within a day’s drive. You can come face to face with a real rhinoceros just 400 kilometers off Cape Town. I even got a chance to meet an Olympic record in short distance running (with photographic equipment on my back, no less) after my iPhone woke up a sleeping tigress that I was trying to take a picture of on a safari.
“Cape Agulhas – the southern tip of Africa – was my next destination. Although many people, myself included, tend to confuse Cape Point and Cape Agulhas, the latter is the dividing point between the Atlantic and Indian Oceans.

Bikes prohibited on roads in Almaty
|
3 comment(s)
City authorities in Almaty, the largest city in Kazakhstan, have declared bikes ‘illegal’.
The main roads of the city have been equipped with road signs prohibiting bikes from passage. Although this is not a recent development, and actually came into effect about six months ago, bikers have been growing increasingly worried about it, since they cannot seem to get an explanation for why their rights are being violated.
A huge number of road signs prohibiting bikes on the roads were installed last winter.

Andrey Urzhumtsev finishes his motorcycle rally across Africa
Africa is an amazing continent full of mysteries and adventures. It harbors both equatorial, evergreen rainforests and the planet’s largest desert, the Sahara. When it's pouring in one part of the continent, the other part is consumed by everlasting drought. Yet, the weather is by far not the main obstacle in covering thousands of kilometers. It is vital that you pay close attention and fully grasp Africa’s mysterious culture in order to be comfortable on its territory.
Andrey Urzhumtsev, a Russian businessman who happens to be into unique motorcycle tours, ventured on a solo rally across Africa in September 2010. To carry him across the continent, Andrey chose the BMW GS 1200 Adventure rigged out with a built-in camera system that captured the entire historic event.

4 comment(s)
Famous Hollywood actor John Travolta arrived in Moscow for what was originally planned as a private visit. Travolta flew to the Russian capital in his private jet Boeing-707 for a couple of days. He was accompanied by his two older sisters and 10-year old daughter.
For most of the flight, the plane was piloted by Travolta himself, who happens to be a big fan of airplanes. He even landed the plane at the Vnukovo airport himself, despite the fact that weather conditions were complicated by rain. The actor has about 6,000 hours of flying time as a pilot under his belt.

The biker-puppy from Russia
|
8 comment(s)
Even animals have a weak spot for two-wheelers sometimes… So it’s no surprise that a 10-month old beagle named Yussi can boast of having ridden several dozen kilometers in the chopper seat of his owner – Kira and Roman.
“Yussi had his first ride in a two-wheeler in the beginning of the summer at our dacha, when we were forced to take him with us on a moped, thinking that it would be a real challenge for him. Surprisingly, just a few minutes into the ride, we realized that our dog is a rider in spirit – he enjoyed every moment of the trip. Afterwards, when we got to the dacha, he was constantly asking to go for a ride.

|
3 comment(s)
The Rally London to Tbilisi is an annual charity sporting event established and co-chaired by Levan Vasadze and Lord Gillford, sponsoring the following charities Saphekhurebi, The Shooting Star Children’s Hospice, and SOS Kazakhstan Children’s Orphanage. Its central goal is to help the charities in their work and to provide rally riders with a unique travel experience.
The rally encompasses a demanding and an adventurous journey across Europe traditionally ending on its edge in Tbilisi at Bagrationi 1882, a beautiful sparkling wine factory in Tbilisi, with a big reception and celebration, with the riders, loved ones flying in to see the riders finish and joining them on a romantic evening in Tbilisi. This year however, the rally is going further onwards from Tbilisi to Astana, adding a second stage. If the experiment is successful, the rally may continue in following years to add various second stages to the traditional London to Tbilisi 11-12 day route.

Motorbike season-2009 is coming to Russia
The new motorbike season-2009 is almost here (there is a countdown timer at the top of the web page to remind you exactly how much time is left before the new motorbike season kicks off). Motonews.ru is happy to provide you with a program of upcoming events, as well as to highlight certain things that should never be forgotten. Just like last year, no centralized event to mark the beginning of the motorbike season will be held. Instead, all motorbike and scooter clubs will celebrate on their own. Not many of these events have been announced so far, most likely because of the crisis taking its toll on all spheres of economic and public life.
This Saturday, April 4, the Outlaws MC Russia club will celebrate in the Alcatraz Bike Music Club (Andropov Prospekt, Moscow). The program will include a concert (Easy/Dizzy, Runaways, Dizzy), a striptease and contests. The entrance fee is RUB 500.
