Honda’s Fury Motorcycle is like no other

The Honda Fury is a factory built chopper that has the look of a custom Harley but the ride of a Honda.  Here is how Honda describes this incredible machind on their website:

There’s no motorcycle anywhere, on any street, in any garage, that can compare to the new Honda Fury. The high headpipe, the elegant swoop of the bare backbone frame tube and teardrop gas tank, and the tire-hugging2011 Honda Fury fenders gives the Fury some of the cleanest, coolest lines ever created in the cruiser world. The look, the sound, the feel—the Fury is the most unique custom Honda has ever set loose on the motorcycle world.

The Fury is guaranteed to turn heads, whether you’re crusing the Napa Valley or parked at Alice’s on a Sunday afternoon.

New CA DMV Motorcycle laws for 2011

Normally I’m not in favorite of over governing by our state but in this instance, it may not be a bad idea.  All new motorcycle riders in the state under age 21 will be required to take a Motorcycle Safety Foundation (MSF).  The following is an excerpt from the DMV site:

Motorcycle SchoolMotorcycle Instruction Permit (AB 1952/Niello) This new law requires a person under 21 years of age to complete an approved motorcycle safety course before being issued an instruction permit with which to practice operating a motorcycle, and requires the permit to be held for six months before being issued a class M motorcycle driver license. There are currently more than 6,000 drivers 19 years and younger who are licensed to ride a motorcycle in California.

MSF classes are offered year round in Antioch and Benicia.
