I just don't get why this guy refuses to use knee pads.   The video is shot by a person never held a video camera  or something; very shaky, can't focus and moves around too much.

 I don't if this is because UK thing, but there are bunch more other worth mentioning bikes and characters in movies. I would take Goose with his Kwaka from Mad Max over Golden Eye, or Resident Evil.

Zackees turn signal cycle gloves

As you see, those are invented for cyclists. Yeah not very many people know hand signals and this device would help.  

 But when I was a child, bicycle makers likes of Miyata, Bridgeston installed very motorcycle like turn signal/indicator in order to market toward kids dreaming about being a motorcycle rider- like myself was. Some turn signal was more like car's.

Anyway those are created by former Google software engineer Zach Vorhies, called Zackees illuminated turn signal gloves. As vintage motorcycle riders, we often ride vintage bikes that were not required/ equipped to have turn signals and we have to do hand signals. These look dorky, but some of us might want to consider giving this product a shot when they are on market. It has been kick-started

Sky Runner

The SkyRunner($125,000) is a baby of all-terrain buggy and paraglider. Powered by a  1.0-litre EcoBoost petrol engine that produces 125 horsepower and 147 lb-ft of torque with decent fuel economy-5.0l/100km (56.5 mpg), and weighing in at just under 950 pounds -420kg. From 0 to 62mph in just 4.3 seconds and has a top speed of 115mph and up to 55mph on air.

I was thinking would be more fun with a motorbike.

Fantastical Fictive Beers

This is an 18″ x 24″ print you can purchase from  Pop Chart Lab, It depicts 71 fictional brews from different TV shows and movies and video games. "Can you not get enough of that wonderful Duff?

Whatever your quaff, kick back and enjoy this scrupulously illustrated selection of 71 beers from some of the greatest movies, books, and TV shows ever…and, okay, even a few of the not-so-greatest "

 I personally like to try Alamo, Aspen Beer but Ryan would like Romulan Ale, I bet

     You know this would come sooner or later. Just like one-person view video game, this makes you possible to have a Heads-Up Display (HUD) that projects an image on the visor. That is right. You are one step closer to the Iron-man. This thing will feed you directions or a standard map view. The Skully Synapse HUD is integrated into the helmet visor and appears to float around 20 feet ahead of the rider’s field of view.
  
   The Slick Motorcycle Helmet, which will meet both the U.S. DOT and European ECE safety standards, has a 180 degree rearview camera, GPS navigation, play music and connect with both iOS and Android devices!! With actual traffic information you gather with your own darn eyes, you will need ADD to get all the stuff. The company says full charge of the battery last for 9 hours-enough for a full day of riding. As for pricing, that’s still up in the air, but you can get in line to be part of the beta-testing set to begin in the next few months.

  My personal opinion... A part of the reasons I started riding was solitude and interaction with surrounding environment. If I want to listen to music or talk on the phone, I will just sit in a car. I admit the rear view cam is nice. No blind spots whatsoever.

It is nice, but I never got the idea of hauling a camper. I will never find a use for this thing. I always came to ,"why not just use damn car" mentality. Mainly because I love the bare minimum, and light-weight, the freedom of motorcycle touring. so I like tents. However I admire guys riding sidecar/camper in extremely cold region  

Masked Rider appears in Slum town of Thailand

The comic book was made into a TV show in early 70's and he is wearing the costume from the show.  Looks pretty accurate to the original one. Also I noticed that bike is close to the original. It was based on Suzuki T20.

2013 Round10 TT Circuit Assen Race1&2

As a Haga fan I enjoyed this race he joined as a pinch hitter. He did not have any ride this year other than the one time race Suzuka 8 hours, which he rode with Kevin Schuwantz. Primarily a Yamaha rider, Haga experienced other makes as a ronin rider. Suzuki at Suzuka, BMW at WSBK, and Kawasaki at BSB

It is a shot glass made out of aluminum. It is at Kick Starter if you want to sponsor. I could already imagine some tight people complain about having a kid in da video talking about shot glasses.

Colorized History

Everyone enjoyed coloring books in their youth. I loved to get creative on those books and colored them all screwed up. Some people enjoy coloring even after they grow up. They are called colonizers and utilizes a lot of reference and trained eyes to determine the original color. Some are very electrifying. Below is some of the colorized historical pictures can be found at r/ColorizedHistory.  The digital manipulation makes those pictures have vivid color as if they were taken yesterday. Almost give you the feeling of time travel.

In earlier post 1973 Riders Guide, there was an article about Yoshimura CB750, which perked my interest. There is a full scan of the article at Honda Chopper.com I thought I would share it here as well.
