I worked with several limousine companies but none of them had anything like this. Being the motorcycle enthusiast I am; this was the ultimate machine for me. I strongly recommend this beautiful limo motorcycle for your next biker wedding only if you feel a regular limo or town car is too trendy for you, then you might want to consider rolling up in one of these by Wildfire Tours. This isn’t your average motorcycle and it’s nowhere near your average limo as the LimoBike offers the best of both worlds.
The LimoBike by Wildfire Tours, adds to the reason why Wildfire Tours is known for their unique, VIP Harley Davidson transport services and the limo can accommodate eight. Unfortunately for us Yankees Wildfire Tours is in Australia. We haven’t gotten this innovative here in the US, yet.
I didn’t know until today that it’s a passenger motorbike. Virgin Limobike is based in London, it’s one of the quickest and most glamorous ways to get from point A to point B. Celebrities use it, business people use it, in fact people from all walks of life use it, whether it be to get to the airport quickly regardless of how bad the traffic is or to glide from one end of London to the other.
Virgin Limobikes offers Londoners the advantages of getting through traffic on a motorcycle, even if you don’t own one. Heading for the soccer match and not looking forward to fighting the traffic? Limobikes can get you to and from the match on a Yamaha FJR1300 ABS, they’ll even supply everything you need.
The passenger gets an Arai helmet fitted with an intercom, Hein Gericke protective clothing and there’s a waterproof blanket available so the ladies can even ride in a skirt. The riders are all very qualified with over 10 years of experience and passengers can be a complete novice to motorcycles, everything is explained before the ride begins. The bikes are set up with a tall backed passenger seat for comfort and security.
Obviously, if you’re heading to the airport with six suitcases, you’re out of luck, but smaller carry on bags will work fine and heading cross town during rush hour is where this service could really shine. Limobikes is relatively new, I believe, so it will be interesting to see how well they do and if they expand their hours and locations. Nice idea.
So if you’re planning a trip to London and being the motorcycle enthusiast you are; knowing the days and hours you can catch a ride would be important. They operate between the 7:00am to 7:00pm Monday to Friday. They will consider requests about transports that fall outside their normal hours of operation.
Virgin profess they are experts in getting people to their destinations on time; using their Limobikes.
Every Brimstone Quadacycle is built in the United States of America and is designed to fit the customer. Frame, seat, handle bar and foot peg locations fit the customer. To give you an idea of your options; you can pick your gauges, headlights, seats are covered with different types of exotic leathers by ADVANCED Custom Design and wheels and tires again are your choice. Not to pore salt in a wound but the video I watched on the handling was a bit questionable. While steering the quad kept veering to the left on its own. Hell it still is a hot bike.
The thing that really blew me away was the performance. This quad will go:
I think a bit of education needs to happen here. Since Harley-Davidson has pulled out of North Myrtle Beach Bike Week I do believe North Myrtle Beach is where Atlantic Beach is located; supposedly the black side. We seem to continue to patronize a state that blatantly has shown bikers they don’t want our business. There may be some residents that are cool with bikers but however there are more that aren’t okay with us.
Myrtle Beach made the decision at the end of 2008 that they would no longer welcome any bike rallies again. So the only other city for bikers to continue visiting for bike week was North Myrtle Beach; yes Atlantic Beach. Well now with Harley-Davidson declining to have the event in North Myrtle Beach because of the rigid requests and limitations; what more will it take for African American Bikers and Motorcycle Clubs to realize we too aren’t welcome.
The H-D rally is much bigger then our Black Bike Week and if you want to throw the race card in; their participants are mostly white bikers. That should tell you something if white bikers feel they’re not welcome by the residents in North Myrtle Beach, why the hell do you think we are.
Here is the history of Atlantic Beach: Atlantic Beach is located right in the middle of North Myrtle Beach. It has been called “the Black Pearl” of the grand strand. Gullah/Geechee people settled the area. They are descendants of African slaves who came from the barrier islands that run from Wilmington, NC to Jacksonville, FL. It has a rich culture and has had more prosperous times. During the 1930’s the south had segregation laws that designated Atlantic Beach as a “black only” beach. Rich and poor blacks alike, from up and down the Atlantic coast came to Atlantic Beach to vacation each summer. In 1966, the town incorporated. In the early 70’s, the segregation laws were struck down, and no longer were African Americans restricted to a few beaches. They began to go places they could never vacation before.
My reason for posting these videos was to let you know if they are giving Mayor Retha Pierce of Atlantic Beach who is African American hell and locked her ass up, what do you think they will do to your black butts if you continue to visit a state who has shown no love for us.
I went to a luncheon in Atlanta that Abate of GA had in February. Needless to say I was the only person of color there. I met some wonderful people and we had a rather candid conversation of why black bikers think it’s a color thing with bikers, when it isn’t. People draw their bias on bikers not due to color. They don’t give a damn about your skin color. They see bikers and the bad images they’ve concocted in their minds whether it came from television or some asshole biker that they had a bad experience with.
So when laws, ordinances, rules, discrimination and rights of bikers are affected it isn’t toward Whites, Hispanics, Blacks, Asians, male or female; it affects all of us who live to ride. If you have a vest on or any leather and ride motorcycles you are one of us. It’s high time we put racism, sexism, legalism…all those damn “isms” that keep us from uniting and supporting each other to the side. There’s power in numbers.
I long for the day when black bikers will take a stance and stand up and say no we too aren’t supporting North Myrtle Beach “Atlantic Beach” and keep our butts home or find another coastal town to support; like New Orleans, Mississippi, North Carolina some where other then Myrtle Beach, South Carolina.
News flash for those who didn’t know on MSNBC: Senator of South Carolina cites blacks as a disadvantage for his state. Senator Robert Graham said, I quote, “Blacks are a disadvantage for my state. I have 12 percent unemployment in South Carolina. My state’s on its knees. I have 31 percent African-American population in South Carolina. “We’ve got it tough,” he adds. We’re on our knees. 12 percent of our people are unemployed and 31 percent of our people are black.”
Senator Graham is a Republican that didn’t vote for health care reform also said, “My state, with 30 percent African-American citizens, a lot of low income people in South Carolina is going to cost my state a billion dollars, that’s the same old stuff that I object to. That’s not change we can believe in. That’s sleazy.”
So my brothers and sisters why do you want to spend your hard earned money in a state that doesn’t hide its discord, prejudice and racial beliefs toward bikers and African Americans. In this case justice isn’t blind. Stand for something or continue to fall for anything.
