Motorcycle couriers in Mexico City are doing booming business with the recent outbreak of Swine Flu. With over 20 million residents in the Mexico City metropolitan area, many of whom too afraid to venture outside with the outbreak, there has been an increased demand of residents turning to motorcycle couriers to fetch for them their daily necessities. One firm is doing so well that they’re advertising for ‘brave and willing’ riders to keep up with demand. It just goes to show you that the end of the world will be a little bit more like Resident Evil 3, with motorcycles being the preferred mode of transportation, than Mad Max. We will miss the Thunderdome though.

Bridgestone race tire manager Tohru Ubukata has issued an official apology to Dani Pedrosa and the Repsol Honda Team for the condition of Pedrosa’s front tire during the Japanese GP at Motegi. As you can see in the photo, Pedrosa came back into the pits after the race with chunks of rubber missing from the tire carcass. Bridgestone has promised to carry out a full investigation to find out why the tire was missing pieces at the the end of the Motegi GP.
