Munich/Garmisch-Partenkirchen - On July 4-6 it will once again be the time of year when motorcycle fans from all over the world come together to party. BMW Motorrad looks forward to welcoming many riders and friends of all motorcycle brands, particularly after last year’s BMW Motorrad Days attracted more than 34,000 visitors to Garmisch-Partenkirchen.

What is there for this year’s visitors to look forward to?
The show: Defending title holder of the Indoor Streetbike Freestyle World Championships, Chris Pfeiffer, will once more be displaying his considerable skills with some amazing stunts. He will also be demonstrating his supremely confident performance and rapid sequences of trick moves, with which he is bound to leave the competition standing once more at this year’s competition.

The ultimate riding machines: There will be plenty of thrills on offer to visitors. As well as offering test rides through the beautiful surroundings of Garmisch-Partenkirchen with the latest BMW Motorrad motorcycles, they will also once again be organising a fantastic motorcycle parade through the town on the Saturday, followed by a classic model parade on the Sunday.

No less than 40 BMW R1200 GS motorcycles will be on hand at the 10,000 m² Enduropark, a site which regular visitors will already be familiar with. Free training sessions will be available throughout the weekend, given by experienced instructors.

A new addition to this year’s event are the special motorcycle tours which will be offered exclusively to women, headed by a female tour guide, and with BMW motorcycles available.

The bands: This year’s event will get going in the large party tent with “The Goodfellas” on the Friday evening, followed by the Munich party band “Gerry and Gary” the following evening. But there will also be plenty of things to see outside the main tent. The US Lodge will be the venue for the bands “Plug-in” and “Steinzeit”. The front man of the latter group is none other than the head of BMW Motorrad Motorsport, Berti Hauser. With hits by the Beatles, the Rolling Stones and many more international stars, they are sure to get everybody up on their feet.

We have all seen the dramatic rise in gas prices in recent times with a bleak outlook in the future. Wouldn’t it be nice if there was a way we could save a substantial amount of money on gas beginning today? There is and it’s done with a little help from water.

Are you aware that there is technology out that allows your car to run on both gas and water? The technology is here and it can help you cut down on your gas bill every week. The technology can be used to turn your existing car into a hybrid and help you begin to save money almost instantly.

Before I go on, I’m not saying you will have to build a car from scratch that will run on water and gas. What I’m getting at is constructing a device that will allow your car to utilize both water and gas. This unique device will work on almost all cars and trucks an most years.

Getting to the point, the technology involves making a device that utilizes your cars battery for a power source. This technology works by separating water into a gas called HHO. HHO is know as Hydrogen Oxygen and can be used to burn very efficiently in your car.

By using this technology you can literally save over $1,000 a year as a sole driver. The more drivers you have, the more you will save. If by chance you have a business with many vehicles, let’s just say 50, you would be looking at a savings of over 50 thousand dollars a year!

Learning how to run your car on water can be a great alternative to paying high gas prices. Lowering your gas bill is not the only benefit though. With this technology, it allows your car to emit less co2 and thus benefits the environment. With all the talk about global warming these days you can feel good about doing your part. So, this is a win win situation. You save gas money and help preserve the environment for future generations.

So, are you now interested in running your car on water? Good, I thought you would be. If you decide to make this one minute investment, it may just be the best one you make all year. You’ll be saving gas money so you can purchase the things you want instead of gas and you’ll be lowering co2 build up in the atmosphere. Now all there is to be done is get started on turning your car into a hybrid today.

Mercedes first debuted their G-Class in 1979, since then not a lot of updates has been done. For 2009 Mercedes will update the very light G-Class SUV.

The outside of the G-Class won’t change much, Mercedes-Benz will just update the face with a new corporate grille and wheels. The engine will change on the new G-Class with the model now having a 5.0L V8 and a horsepower boost from 292 to 382. The torque will also rise from 336lb-ft to 391lb-ft.

Bad Homburg - With about 318,000 new registrations in April 2008, the passenger car market grew 20 percent compared to April 2007. This means that the market has been gaining ground in the first four months of the year, with a 7.3 growth compared to the same period last year. Due to the effect of anticipated vehicle purchases in the fourth quarter of 2006, the numbers in the first months of 2007 had been marked by double-digit decreases.

The market recovery was expected, and even after adjusting the numbers for the three additional business days in April, there still has been a gain. Despite the growth, however, the private market is easing up only slightly. So far, private demand grew by approximately 70,000 units, making up for a large portion of the severe slump in demand by around 100,000 vehicles last year. The current upswing in demand spans passenger cars with diesel and gasoline engines, as well as vehicles with alternative engines.

VDIK President Volker Lange: “These numbers clearly show that additional growth can only be achieved through an increase in private vehicle registrations. The Federal Government must implement clear and convincing incentives as soon as possible to make the switch to more fuel efficient low emission vehicles more attractive. Looking at the models for the conversion of the motor vehicle tax to a CO2-based tax that we have become aware of, we are concerned that the exchange of old vehicles for new, more environmentally friendly vehicles will be hindered, rather than encouraged. If older vehicles are not taken into consideration in the tax, we do not expect the new motor vehicle tax to provide effective support for the VDIK ‘Initiative for Clean Air’ that started in 2006.”
