The Real Reason Why Valentino Rossi Is Not So Fast

Posted: 07 Sep 2011 09:00 AM PDT

Rossi Caravan
A photographer found out why Valentino is not performing so well on his Ducati, and it's got nothing to do with the motorcycle.

It's just that he's carrying a lot of weight behind him...

Product Review: Scottoiler

Scottoiler
Scottoiler
A detailed review and installation process of the Scottoiler automatic motorcycle chain lubrication system.

It's not only for lazy or for forgetful people (like me), but also for motorcycles that are used often, or for those that are not used often. It works well, with little maintenance, just fill the reservoir up when it's empty.

Your motorcycle chain will thank you.

Ducati Logo Into Motorcycle
Somebody (couldn't find who) has been playing with motorcycle manufacturer logos, turning them into motorcycle drawings. Taking the letters and graphics, they've re-arranged them to make a representation of a motorcycle.

Interesting work. Wonder how the other manufacturers stack up?

Has the time come for very small noise cancelling electric earplugs that can be used for riding motorcycle?

It looks like this device fits the bill. Insert it in your ear, and any noise above a certain noise level is blocked. And if you're deaf already, it can also amplify conversations at the same time. Nifty.

Video clip
Nissan logo
Here's a TV/Web commercial from car maker Nissan that for sure will piss off many motorcycle riders out there....

... specially if you consider that the main theme of the ad is that the car has "trophies" of motorcycles crashed by the car!

What a FAIL!

Tunisia Road Rally 2011 Map
Tunisia Road Rally 2011
Here's a great motorcycle race for all to do! You get to "race" in a foreign country, Tunisia to be exact, but it's not in the desert, but you'll ride on normal roads. This means you can bring your Hayabusa, 125cc, Royal Enfield sidecar or you Harley-Davidson motorcycle.

Accommodation is in 4/5 star hotels, and the fee includes shipping, hotels, food and race fees. You'll not need a support crew, since they provide the mechanics.

Best of all, they have a special program for your followers/fans. Bring your spouse/partner and kids... Everyone wins.

What a great photo and idea...

A surfboard attached to a motorcycle (ridden by a very pretty girl) like a sidecar.

Two passions in one!

Lobster Motorcycle
We've seen motorcycle made out of metal, but also from wood, straw, butter, ice ... and now we've got a motorcycle made out of lobster shells. It's going to be a bit smelly, specially after a while, but then most food will do that?

The lobster motorcycle was made by a Taiwanese Chef at a food making seminar in China. What will they think of next?

TomTom LIVE: Good Idea, But Very Dangerous

Posted: 01 Sep 2011 05:00 AM PDT

TomTom Live Search and Go
A very dangerous idea coming from TomTom. The Dutch GPS manufacturer has released a new service, called Search & Go LIVE, it allows the TomTom GPS to connect to the internet (like Twitter and Expedia) on the go...

In other words, more distractions for car drivers, and more motorcycle accidents because a SUV was playing with the GPS while driving.

Message to TomTom: MAKE INTERNET ACCESS NOT AVAILABLE WHEN THE VEHICLE IS MOVING!
