Energica Eelctric Bike



Italian electric race-bike outfit CRP Racing has announced its first road-going superbike, the Energica. With 100 kW of power and top of the line chassis and suspension, all clothed in modern Italian style bodywork, the Energica is capable of speeds up to 220 km/h (137 mph) and range of 150 km (93 miles) on a single charge, due in part to a power train efficiency close to 95 percent. The package includes such niceties as ride-by-wire throttle, a brace of radial-caliper Brembo disc brakes, Ohlins suspension, digital multifunction LCD dashboard and LED lights.

The Wall of Death

I think this is an ad for cable

Rolling on Wine barrels

I have never messed with those wine or bourbon barrels. it would be cool to hav e one in a house as a furniture. Charlie Wheelock took the idea further and built a bike out of them. The barrels are held together and made motorcycle-like with a ’57 Ford F100 drop axle for a frame. As you see the barrels have disk brakes, but the top speed is just whopping 3mph.

Happy 35th

The Bicycle Animation



"This is a piece created to question whether it was possible to film animation in realtime. Part of my CSM 3rd year disseration project I was looking at proto animation (really early basic animation) in contemporary design. I've taken a lot of influence from other contemporary designers who are using these techniques to explore the way we look at animation and how its made."

Skynet Symphonic

Honda MB5

Back in the old days on 80's, sport motorcycel gottten pretty big and everyone wanted to ride like king Kenny or Fast Freddie. In my case, David Aldana...Honda MB5 (also known as MB50)was one of those bikes that satisfied motorcycle nuts who were not able to get bigger bike, yet.  It was basically  a motorscooter, though styled like a sport bike. Top speed was in excess of 50 MPH from a 50 cc two-stroke single-cylinder engine, producing about the same HP as a lawnmower and mated to a 5 speed transmission. The MB5 also had several features normally found on bigger bikes: a speedometer, a tachometer (with a redline of 10,500 rpm!!), front disc brake, and Honda's Comstar wheels.
  Unlike Honda cub or scooter, it looked like a motorcycle and real fun to ride. Needless to say it was a great tool to horn your motorcycling skills- learn not to waste the momentum since the bike did not have much power...

Mieders Alpine Coaster



"This is a single-pipe alpine coaster in Mieders, Austria. You reach the summit via a cablecar and then sit on a small car with a brake lever and off you go. Having ridden it once using a little braking, I decided to try it a second time without using the brakes. This is SCARY! Enjoy the ride!"

Reminds me of Speeder bike chase. It gets more fun after 2:15 mark

BMW sidecar racer

We like animals, old motorcycles, side cars, and good looking women who can ride so this is a  pretty good picture for us.

Carbon Fiber Steorm Trooper




4 guys who work at San Diego Composite made 4 full Stormtrooper suit out of  carbon fiber. Their employer loved the idea so he donated some material. Labors are also free since those guys work at the place.  If you order one as a customer, the price would be closed to a pretty nice bread new car, they say.  One of the suits is displayed at a lobby of the company.
