Ontario motorcyclists would be the first to warn anyone that there’s a dearth of challenging roads in the province. And those that actually have turns and a high enough speed limit to require a rider to lean are few and far between. County Road 507 south of Algonquin Provincial Park is not a particularly interesting road, yet it has a reputation for being entertaining. The problem is it takes an excessive amount of speed to turn the mostly mild route into something wild enough to get a motorcyclists adrenaline pumping. (more…)

Captain America, Marvel Comics’ World War II era super hero, is going to save the day – again – this time on the big screen starting July 22.
No stranger to staring in cinematic roles, Harley-Davidson teamed up with Marvel to create a WLA-styled motorcycle for Captain America to ride in the film. Harley-Davidson built close to 70,000 WLA motorcycles during World War II as part of their war efforts and the popular motorcycle eventually became known as the “Liberator” by the troops that used them.

The south-eastern state has the largest variety of snakes in the United States, contains properties that are guarded by alligators, and is home to the annoying no-see-um, a mosquito-like insect that packs a nasty bite. Recently another danger was added to the woes of Floridians: the Boogeyman. (more…)

However, the British version of the web campaign has gone from teasing to taunting. (more…)
