in Motorcycle Design

When I have a few extra minutes, I like to stop by Tim Cameron Design to check out his graphics. This bike is his LoGo Single and just like all of his other work it’s absolutely stunning. Of course, one of the other cool features of his work is that it’s all in the computer, [...]

Clinica Mobile

When riders in MotoGP or World Superbike need a little bend and stretch or tending to, there’s a mobile clinic that’s been around since 1977.

Well, they finally got around to announcing the winner of the Monster Challenge, Stuart Baker, winner of the San Francisco challenge.
There are quite a few photos of all of the winners. Previous photos on the Ducati site were a little sketchy so this way you get to see what those guys were really up to.

by Paul Crowe - "The Kneeslider" on March 17, 2005

in General

Must be the season for new websites. I mentioned below about Performance Machine introducing their new site and now Kawasaki has done the same. It has a huge amount of info but I think they made a big mistake. If you want to get in and use it, you need Flash and a fairly fast [...]

Hydrogen motorcycle

Just the other day I was wondering about this, suppose they came up with some new motorcycle engine that was completely silent or just gave off a little whine, would you still want to ride it? Well, here we have a hydrogen motorcycle with just that problem … or issue or whatever.

New Performance Machine website

by Paul Crowe - "The Kneeslider" on March 15, 2005

in General

Performance Machine, Inc. has a new website and somebody must have learned how to use Flash because if you load the 1024 X 768 version it gets pretty fancy. Lots of sound effects and graphics. They have always had a lot of neat products but now their website is over the top.
