Today?
The role of the motorbike is far from over today, as it was yesterday? It is now one of the fastest machines on the surface, with top quality racing at all levels and its just that we do not see enough of the sport on TV?
Motorbikes have been adapted for Paramedic work in Israel and the U.S.A., these are the first responders to various situations? Nearly every police and paramilitary force in the world uses the motorbike for traffic and escorting duties because of their flexibility.
Italy, Japan, Brazil, India, Australia and Russia still make some serious top quality machines for civil and military use. Some nations have copied British and U.S. designs and successfully adapted them
Today's machines are either top end or mass produced and in many nations in the developing world, such as India they are used for every imaginable use? China has moved on to advanced technology in the first mass produced electric battery powered machines, in fact there is no end now to the use and viability of this machine and its other various components, such as the scooter, scrambler and motorcycle.
Even the military are still using motorbikes in the communications role, despite the Internet and many other advanced forms of communications, we may not but others are.

Volksvagen Camper Vans. Part-Two.
Pleasure to Icon.
The VW brand has a shaded history in the twenth-century and has now come in for more dishonesty in relation to its cars having the abilty to give false readings. I expect we will be hearing more about this for a long time yet, because many manufacturers are telling lies about the performance of their machines!
Todays models of the classic camper are far more advanced and one feels that something has been lost in the box designs compared to that of the 1950', 60's vehicles. VW originally developed this van for its West-German paramilitary police in several chassis versions and all were based on World War-II ideas to improve thier amphibious scout car.
In 1946 the iconic shape was developed to run along side that of the Beattle car and they both were extremly sucessfull in taking the world market for sales.
The main reason being both had simple constructed engines that were easy to fix and manintain and the parts were also cheap.

French Military. Part-One.
Long Influence.
France is one of those countries that has a long history of supplying military technology across the world. Controversy at the moment about selling a commissioned warship to Russia, while back in the Falklands war it was the Exocet missiles that did a lot of damage to the British.
France has built a generation of armoured cars in the Panhard series, which serve world wide from basic to powerful and they meet the needs of most small armies. Yet France has a Nuclear capability in its own ICBM's, aircraft carriers, warships and submarines, as well as its own advanced Mirage to Rafael combat aircraft.
It has also worked jointly with the United Kingdom on the development of the Gazelle, and Puma helicopters. Meanwhile following this weeks events in the Paris area we saw some of the paramilitary police vehicles being used.
