Husaberg Has Updated Their Web Site Posted: 27 Sep 2012 09:00 AM PDT KTM owned Husaberg have recently updated their web site. It has become a very much web 2.0 site, well color coordinated (everything is blue and yellow), and you can navigate around their site with ease. The images they use are cool, it looks a bit like 3D. Surprisingly, the free wallpapers have similar photos as background, so it looks like some designer really went to town and redesigned the web site from the ground up. ...

Video: Getting Around Hong Kong On A Brammo Posted: 27 Sep 2012 05:00 AM PDT Brammo Hong Kong released an interesting video of one of their Enertia electric motorcycles riding around and into Hong Kong. It's interesting since a) Hong Kong is an enormous big city, and b) you get to see how an electric motorcycle holds up in city traffic.

He's selling the breathalyzer for €2 per unit (which is what they cost in gas stations, if you can find one). You used to find some of these machines in discos, but I'm sure you'll be seeing these distributors popping up in the most unexpected places, like parkings, police stations, motorcycle dealers.. etc. In the mean time, the manufacturer of the breathalyzer is rubbing his hands while raking in the money.
