What’s so good about three wheels?  Stability, Security, Comfort. What’s bad in me?  My logical left brain immediately goes fuzzy. That two wheel survival instinct gives way to this-is-fun right brain pleasure centers. Suddenly I’m thinking, hey, wonder if this baby can do burnouts and riding over sand, through streams and onto golf courses seem natural.  My ATGATT philosophy flies right out the window. Since I’m just going down the street and never have to put my feet down, to hell with boots or gloves.  Before you can say nudist camp I’m riding around wearing sandals, shorts and a T-shirt and girlfriend sure looks good in a bikini.  This may not necessarily be bad, reckless perhaps, cavalier? Yes. – See more at: http://www.bikernettrikes.com/pages/2016_CanAm_Spyder_F3_Limited.aspx

Kuryakyn Holdings, LLC premiered a new corporate brand identity and logo at V-Twin Expo earlier this month. The rebranding represents the ongoing successful transition resulting from the “NXT25” program launched in 2014 by Kuryakyn President Holger Mohr. Kuryakyn’s NXT25 initiative focuses on securing the future of the company for the next 25 years and beyond. The program has helped usher in a new era for Kuryakyn that symbolizes its evolution and vision going forward. “Kuryakyn has always remained ahead of the ongoing changes happening within the motorcycle industry,” explains VP of Brand Management Steve Veltri. “Fresh, innovative designs and staying ahead of the competition have always been, and always will be hallmarks of Kuryakyn. Strategically presenting a full brand refresh that embodies the changes happening within our organization is equally important.” The updated brand identity and logo creates a fresh, vibrant look that represents Kuryakyn’s stability, revitalized energy and growth running deep within all facets of the company. “The NXT25 initiative has unquestionably infused fresh vitality into Kuryakyn, particularly in Product Development and our Quality Department,” said Kuryakyn President Holger Mohr. “Our product portfolio has expanded significantly since investing in new equipment, professional leadership and a growing roster of skilled designers and engineers. Better people and processes equal better products.” In 2015 alone, Mohr explains, the company delivered 240 all-new products to the market. “That, combined with the buzz we’re hearing regarding our growing Team and our new products prove this isn’t the same Kuryakyn. Going forward, the new brand mission and vision will forge a path that ultimately reflects our 27 years as a leader in the industry,” he says. “We are very proud of where we’ve come from, but more importantly, where we’re going.” Recent notable additions to the Kuryakyn Team include industry veterans John Nasi, who has

‘UberMOTO’ is only a pilot service for now, and is restricted to Bangkok, but it’s likely to quickly meet a demand in the congested cities in the region and demand for services such as Singapore’s taxi-hailing app Grab. With a population around 600 million people living mostly in large cities, Southeast Asia is a key market for companies like Uber. How would you like this service come to New York or Seattle?
