Yes, we all know that we should be driving an electric car, or a hybrid, or something powered by unicorn farts, but while they may save the Earth, we do need to own to the fact that, a few sports cars like the Tesla aside, most green-friendly cars are dorkmobiles. Seriously, you see somebody tooling ... Read more

VIDEO: Dead guy displayed on motorcycle for his wake

Posted by Chris Spags under , , , , , , , ,

Wakes are kind of an odd thing. I know it’s an important part of closure, but I don’t know how seeing a usually doll-looking corpse helps you close the loop. Well, one Puerto Rico family went outside the box, putting their recently slain relative David Morales Colón riding a motorcycle he was given by his ... Read more

I Want: A flying motorcycle

Posted by Douglas Charles under , , ,

Sure in the past I have lusted over several really cool motorcycles, but this one takes the cake because it can fly.

I know there have been a lot of cars and motorcycles that I claim to have wanted here on this site, and I do want them all, but perhaps I will choose this one first. Mostly because this Ducati 848 Nicky Hayden sportbike will only set me back $14,495, which unlike most of the others ... Read more

I Want: Carbon-fiber Suzuki GSX-R 1100

Posted by Douglas Charles under , , ,

While this carbon-fiber cycle isn’t near as cool as the last one I wanted it will still get me that much closer to thinking I am Batman when I am out riding… and probably much cheaper since I can Buy It Now on eBay for $14,500. 1989 oil-cooled GSX-R 1100 engine with Wiseco kit. Stock ... Read more

I know I said yesterday that I wanted a different motorcycle, but that one was just for show, this one is for kicking the pavement’s sorry gray ass. The Triumph Speed Triple motorcycle features a 1050cc triple engine with twin 4-piston, 4-caliper brakes and a carbon flyscreen, cowl, infill panels, heat shield, mud guard, and ... Read more

I Want: Swordfish motorcycle

Posted by Douglas Charles under , , ,

While this doesn’t exactly look like the most comfortable bike to ride, I think I’d still like to own it just so I could park it outside of my mobile home so I would be the envy of all the guys in the park and impress all the honeys enough to get them to visit ... Read more
