new harley fatboy for 2010

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!

custom suzuki gsx-r 1300 with new o.s.d. 330

i think im getting this bike. yes, it is the one from roaring toyz.

suzuki gs-r1000 versus pomeranian dog

here is a weird short with a suzuki gs-r1000 versus a small dog.

i have a big dog.

suzuki gs-r1000 super bike road racer

i am completely obsessed with roaring toyz...and i WILL have me something from them! what about this custom suzuki gs-r1000 road racer? it was intro-ed at the wife's childhood track-laguna seca- so, she can't say "no"! right?

cycles towing cars?

web urbanist told me about these scaled-down-muscle-car-motorcycle trailers from american custom trailers. wow.

bmw 2010 s1000rr super bike

this new bmw s1000rr super bike looks super fast: with 193hp it better be!

kawasaki 48 cylinder motorcycle

the opposite of the electric, the solar and the hybrid bikes is this 48 cylinder motorcycle made by simon whitlock. gets about .5 mpg i guess!

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.

kick ass kick gas festival

i didnt know there were so many electric bikes out there: i probably should get out more often. there is a kick gas festival held annually in san diego: here is a clip from last year. go here to learn more about electric motorcycles. interesting.

solar powered motorcycle

richard gryzch is a solar obsessed biker. good for him.

hybrid trike hits the streets

for about $9k you can get 141 mpg! piaggio's mp3 hybrid scooter can be plugged in or runs off of its gas powered generator. the 400 model goes 88mph! kind of weird looking!

more...from roaring toyz

ducati desmodevil

not for shy people, this ducati-powered custom cruiser screams for attention! from motocreations.

the big book of biker flicks

the big book of biker flicks selected the wild one as one of the top 40 all-time best biker movies. i agree. excerpts from the book on falcon motorcycles blog.

roaring toyz

watching super bikes! on the speed channel...they are interviewing the boyz from roaring toyz: they do nice work!

west coast choppers

jesse james seems to have a lot on his plate in addition to motorcycles these days...but apparently he is still cranking out some bad ass rides. i know some dogs who might like to cruise this one!

custom helmet

thinking about trading in my skid lid for something custom. not the skull though: that' s too scary. the cartoon one is cool, but the one worn by motogp champ valentino rossi can be customized on line with anything.
