all motor busa

true

2002 gsx-r 1300 suzuki hayabusa

yes...its the new hotness on display. too rainy to ride though.

how to throw a hayabusa

brought the new bike home last night...its so cool! put it in the shop for inspection this morning, and decided i was not going to try this stunt! my busa past inspection...pick it up tomorrow.

bought the busa

i think i have the flu, so i drove to cherry hill, new jersey to buy this busa which will make me feel much better.

2008 Honda CBR 1000 RR

this is the photo of the day on bikepics...from australia. nice.

win a 1997 Harley Davidson Heritage SoftTail Classic today!

i dont need a harley: already have mine (still thinking about the busa!). if you need one, buy a raffle ticket for a GREAT cause: dc central kitchen, and you could win one at rustico's octoberfest celebration today @ 12-6.

screamin' eagle heavy breather

a couple of weeks ago old glory installed a few add ons, including a screamin eagle heavy breather in black...i wanted chrome. they fixed it, no problem. love it!

washington metro police get trikes

i have seen police on segways: they get laughed at a lot. these new segway-type trikes were just purchased by washington metro police for aiding them in parking lot burglaries:

slightly less goofy. good luck.

bio-trike

cool amphibious manufactures international makes crazy stuff! in addition to water-friendly cars, trucks and tour buses, they have designed and manufactured this amphibious biodiesel motorcycle, the biotrike. this thing has it all: it's aerodynamic; a plug in hybrid electric-biodiesel; is handicap-capable, has a safety roll cage, and costs about $24,000. not totally sure why you would want to go in the water with this trike: maybe just for the novelty of it all or maybe you live in an area with heavy downpours!

motorcycles headed home

came across the sons of solomon motorcycle club/down n' dirty crew heading home on sunday night...it was a great day for riding!

octoberFAST

no, its not time to deprive yourself: it's time to race! today is the day to celebrate all things german at bob's bmw. they have all sorts of things going including a superbike challenge (on the ps3), food, contests, the usual and the unusual. my advice: dont eat the bratwurst prior to trying out the wheelie machine!

web surfer special

i just read a great article on thekneeslider about a bike built for $8,000 that was assembled from parts bought on-line, hence the name, "web surfer special". fabricated and assembled by mule motorcycles, the street tracker will be featured in november's issue of cycle world. pretty nice!

the president's bike

motorcycle boutique created this insane hayabusa dedicated to the president. they made a lot of modifications (as they do) and turned out an outrageous product! you can see the video here.

2008 Busa runs 8.81 on stock motor

i was thinking of going to look at this 2008 busa for sale near me, til i saw his youtube video of it racing.

indian motorcycles

indian motorcycles were the first american production bike. i like the look of their new retro- design line.

ride for the arts

today was visarts poker run "ride for the arts". it turned kinda rainy...

wall o' death

i found a really great video posted today on the "wall of death" at this past weekend's bike week, but it was on myspace and you must have an account to embed their code. so, i looked on youtube and stumbled on this crazy pod.

motorcycle crash technology

i missed the premier episode of motorcycle crash technology on the national geographic channel because i was at bike week! normally, i am not interested in motorcycle crash stuff: too many memories...but this show emphasizes the technological advancements developed to prevent injury-and ultimately death-by motorcycle. must see tv for me:
next episode, this thursday.

bike week is over

made it home safely from bike week...fairly uneventful, but saw lots and lots of bikes and a few friends. good times! the ride home was stop and go, but i was able to check out my new shit (a little) on the beltway. old glory installed reinhart tailpipes and the screamin' eagle stage one upgrade.

redneck engineering

i am in ocean city for bike week-end.
so far this is my favorite bike that i might buy.
built by redneck engineering.

delmarva bike week

headed to ocean city bike weekend in the morning...i mean delmarva bike week.

sinister wheel

one of my twitter followers is sinister wheel out of cali. they make a beautiful product, 100% made in america and offer customization with their wheel creator. very cool.

swordfish & stalker motorcycles

product designer Alexander Kotlyarevsky came up with these prototype motorcycles that are awesome. he has designed for audi, cannon, astin-martin and maserati among others.

old glory

in preparation for ocean city bike week, dropped the bike off at old glory harley davidson for a check up and louder pipes:

it's ready already!

icare concept motorcycle

enzyme design in france designed this sleek concept bike. the icare is no fairytale though, it packs a six-cylinder 1.8 honda engine.

roaring toyz

my new bike? maybe...

insane prisoner inventions

the wife is a artist, so i get exposed to a variety of things...prisoner art is always a surprise. she forwarded me this wacky posting on insane prisoner inventions from weburbanist.

my new helmet

just bought this new bell helmet.

motorcycle with sidecar

motorcycle builder francois knorreck took random parts from multiple bikes and cars to construct this beautiful 1000cc laverda motorcycle and sidecar, entitled the snaefell project. pretty wild...perfect for transporting the mother-in-law.

minsk motorcycle olympics

never heard of a minsk before, but these soviet built bikes are very popular in vietnam, where the motorcycle olympics are held every year for enthusiasts of the "beasts from belarus".
