harley introduced their 2010 series of bikes last weekend. one word about the fatboy: sweet!

moto gp

i will watch most anything on the speed channel: i love pinks, wrecked, super bikes, the auctions...whatever. lately, i have been watching motogp motorcycle racing: those guys are crazy! the race between rossi and lorenzo for first was death-defying.

blastolene rocket II

blastolene's rocket II debuted at the 2009 grand national roadster show. designer michael leeds won the top award for "best engineered". i don't really get it, though: you sit behind the engine? that's ridiculous! nice design work in the shop...not very practical in the real world. still looks cool!

the casual mafia ride in a prius

my last three posts have been on alternative fuel motorcycles (also just read about a solar powered plane and race car on inhabitit), so i thought this hilarious video from the casual mafia, (about a hybrid prius car, though) was (still) appropriate.
