When buying a regular bike or, even more, one that is custom made for you, there’s that innocent thought that you’ll be riding forever and ever again and only change it when getting bored or feeling the need of something else.
But in the case of David Draiman from Disturbed, absolutely nothing had gone as normally supposed. Call it bad luck or everything you want, but that bike’s faith was to vanish. Why don’t you better listen to him?
Man’s best friend remains faithful even when this last goes out riding on its Aprilia RSV 1000 R The dog seems to enjoy it very much even though it doesn’t have a rack or a basket as we’ve seen with other occasions and the bike is now even known as having two owners: Tex and Cash…you can’t see one without the other, even on the streets.
It now looks ridiculous, but the series was very successful in the late ‘70s, early ‘80s when such a movie was all the average American felt like watching after a hard day at work. Captain America to the Rescue…yeah, right!
Auto shows often try to hit a big punch in the motorcycle industry, but it seems that this time they liked being kinder with the Ducati 999 and have it prove its amazing performance against the millisecond-comparable Lamborghini Gallardo. What is not comparable are the prices so a playboy would go for the yellow rocket and a speed enthusiast will start goggling for motorcycle gear.
The Three Amigos seem to rock the scene in Vegas as this “adventurous” ride shows it. I would have expected to see Bonnie and Clyde there, but this trio isn’t far from their scenery at all.
We’ve come across this wonderful clip of the wonderful Buster Keaton from his 1920 movie, "One Week".
Buster Keaton was one of the biggest stars of the Silent Film era. From the same "school" of physical comedy as Charlie Chaplin, Harold Lloyd and Fatty Arbuckle, he did all his own stunts. Keep that in mind as you watch this clip. Today we are so accustomed to seeing the fantastic on film through the creation of stunt doubles, camera tricks, special effects or computer generation that it is hard to appreciate the incredible timing and courage that this stunt required.
You won’t see this kind of stunt being done in our days!
This is a 1981 prepped-out Vespa which, in the right hands, works like magic on the twists and turns of a slippery mountain road. There’s simply nothing to compare with the fabulous feel of an original Vespa being pushed beyond its manufacturer-given characteristics so we look forward on posting more similar ads.
It seems that being environmentally friendly doesn’t necessarily mean that you have to give up to all of those fun weekend incursions on the drag track (even though the one in this case is made of dirt).
Electric engines may not offer the same grunt as the ones fueled by methanol do, but it seems that they get the job done and participants open the throttle to the maximum lap after lap and there is great response to the strong request even though you may have to help the bike with your foot from time to time.
It comes a time in everyone’s lives when the need for adrenaline and adventure is above everything. This is also the case of Cliff Eckes, an 87 years old guy from Marshfield, WI who couldn’t stop his need of hill climbing a dirt bike, until it actually did it.
Take a look at this angry K 1200 R making a point against the V8 Topster or the other way. It really depends on what you like most when seeing these two orange beasts revving out their engines all the way up to the red lines on the Nurburgring track.
