Motorcycle passion turns into a moneymaker

MIKE ELSWICK from www.news-journal.com has an interesting story about an East Texas jeweler Donald Reeves. I thought it was nice and quite similar with what drives us all.

First it seems that Mike is on his 13th Honda Goldwing (damn, I only got my forth Honda) and while driving back a Honda he purchased, Mike realized how useful the trailer the bike came with was: “I bought a used bike in Longview that came with a trailer,” he said. “I was driving it to my home in Marshall and couldn’t even tell the trailer was back there.”

After a while, he started making a trailer for his bike, which turned into a business in the end: “With an eye toward detail, including hand-laid fiberglass, custom paint jobs matching the owner’s motorcycle, specially designed molds for the fiberglass hull and accents that include chrome and LED lighting, his trailers catch people’s eye.”

You can read the original story here, it nice. And if you are looking for custom motorcycle trailers.

Motorcycle Bluetooth

I don’t know about you, but here in Romania it seems that everybody has 2 cell phones (I can explain why in a not so rich country this happens), but anyway, one of the things I hate most is needing to stop to take a call, or even worse, seeing that you missed important call while on the road.

There is an easy solution to this, and it’s called MI95 - BlueAnt Bluetooth Interphone - from HelmetAudio.com.

Features (copy paste from the site):

* Provides hands-free operation with a Bluetooth enabled cell phone (up to 33′ away)
* Bike-to-bike communication up to 490′ (requires 2 units)
* Wireless rider-to-passenger communication
* Voice answer, voice dialing, and redial
* All weather, water resistant including heavy rain
* Large multi-function button for easy use with gloves on
* Full duplex for simultaneous talking
* Configurable with Bluetooth headset compatible GPS devices
* Mounts easily to full and open-faced helmets
* Digital Signal Processor (DSP) for noise cancellation and echo elimination.
* Volume automatically adjusts according to speed induced noise
* Excellent performance at speeds of up to 130 Km/h
* Up to 10 hours talk time and 700 hours standby
* Compliant with Bluetooth v1.2 devices

A little expensive I would say. Hmm. What do you think?
