Kissmobile

I am not a Kiss fan. I can tolerate their music unlike Rush's. But I never liked their  merchandising:  Action figures, pinball machines, lunch boxes, trading cards and anything they can slap a Kiss logo and their likeness on....Needless to say, I never comprehended why they are so popular that people mindlessly buy stuff with their names on it....  Back in 1978, The Kiss Honda Mobile was designed but never released to the public. I wonder why the other two members are not seen here. Maybe they were not invited?
 The Bike itself is a Honda Hawk CB/CM400 Twin with Kiss logos on the tank, exhausts and side covers  There are some luggage at the rear with their logos on it as well .I wonder how much more compared to regular Honda Hawk.

Memorial day

Memorial Day, originally called Decoration Day, is a day of remembrance for those who have died in our nation's service. The picture above is from France. I don't know when is the Memorial day for them. It seems that every nation has its memorial day or equivalent of it. Japan has one as well. It always rained on the day every year and my grandpa told me that rain was tears of falling soldiers'.
Memorial day became a sale day for most of people. Also it is said that the most cook out day in a year.

Sadly the Memorial day became just a day off to many people...

The Basement Arcade



  Redditor Mertzlufft and his father built this incredible arcade in their basement, housing 42 arcade games! Games random from the original Donkey Kong, to Hydro Thunder, to Galaga and everything is set to free play. The bar in the center looks to be the perfect place to start out. A night of cocktails and arcade games awaits.

This will be my fave bar. I loved playing video game drunk

Elio Motors

Elio is the revolutionary new vehicle built for today's generation of drivers that addresses their transportation needs and the world's new realities. If you're looking for fun transportation that gets 84 miles to the gallon and costs only $6,800.

I would get one. It is said the major downside of this vehicle is that it requires motorcycle license and helmet in some states to operate one since 3 wheelers are considered as motorcycles. I already have a motorcycle license and in this state, a helmet is not required as long as you are over 18, so not a problem at all. I know people would complain for not having a mega power on its motor but for me, 1000cc 70hp 100mph performance is freaking great for gas mileage of 84

The Soil Compactor Music Box

Artist Dave Cole turned a 22000lb soil compactor machine into a 2000 lb music box. It is playing The Star Spangled Banner but I could not recognize it. A neat idea regardless.

Ayrton Senna (1960 - 1994)
May 1st 1994: Senna dies
On this day in 1994 the Brazilian racing driver and Formula One champion Ayrton Senna was killed in an accident during the San Marino Grand Prix. He was 34 years old. Often considered one of the greatest drivers of all time, Senna won the Formula One World Championships three times. He died hours after his accident during a race when his car left the track and hit a concrete wall at around 135mph. Senna is the last Formula One driver to die during a race.
I was watching the race when that happened.  He was complaining about how dangerous the course was before this race was started.
