Real Time Wind Map for the Lower 48

So you want to know how windy where you are gonna ride? The Wind Map will tell you with somewhat beautiful animation. It is mesmerizing. Reminds me of Van Gogh paintings.

A Room with a Ducati

Spotted those pictures at tumblr. None of the bloggers there had the source posted. So I have no idea whose work it is. Seems like a Paul Smart replica Ducati in there. It could be a work of architect.

Delicious Pin-Ups

Pin-up pictures have been a part of Kustom Kulture. I like them. An Italian photographer, Simon Remeo retraced a portion of the culture, focusing only on the models, dressed and made up like those that appeared in the magazines of cars and bikes in 40's 50's. Many are the tributes to the drawings of the great illustrators of the time, Alberto Vargas, Gil Elvgren, as the effigies on American bombers who gave birth to an artistic movement named Nose Art The Pin-Up Delicious photo book is presented in A4 format with 80 pages of glossy paper from 170 grams to accommodate the 50 best shots of the author, published in limited edition of 1,000 copies. The book is available directly from the artist's website, which seems to be dead at this moment. Via: motoblog.it

Air Bike from the world of Gundam

Mobile Suit Gundam is a long running Japanese animation, featuring over sized fighting robots, which were somewhat treated like WW2 fighter planes or AFVs. The original show which came out in the late 70's ignited injection plastic model boom in Japan. The kits were those robots, fully posable in 1/144 scale. Many little boys got sucked into building model kits because of the show. Some of the kids never got tired of building the model about the animation show. This guy, Mr.Sasaki ,builds a fully scratched air bike model with parts from those various Gundam model kits. According to his personal model building site, he used Tamiya's 1/12 scale Valentino Rossi rider figure. Mr. Sasaki also is a motorcycle rider. Can you tell?

CB750K on Ace hardware ad poster

 

 

They look heavily Photoshopped. I understand that they have to remove all Honda marks from the picture, but the bike itself doesn't even look like on the real road. Also no eye protection on the rider suggest they were not really riding the bike. Kinda sad looking but SOHC CB750 is epitome of cool.
