Harley Davidson introduced it’s new models the other day but I missed this at first glance, the Harley Davidson Screamin’ Eagle Destroyer. Looks like Harley has a special division just like the car companies, CVO or Custom Vehicle Operations, is the secret skunk works facility which created this beast specifically for quarter mile duty.

The HondaJet we mentioned just the other day debuted at Oshkosh today. Seems they’ve been testing in Greensboro, North Carolina for two years which makes it pretty amazing that it’s been under wraps for so long.

The Northumbria University Show 2005 put the spotlight on the work of some of their students and this fuel cell motorcycle based on the Honda Cub is very interesting. It has the future look pretty well nailed. Once you get away from the internal combustion engine, you have a lot of leeway in your design. [...]
What a difference a day makes. Eric Bostrom got off to a great start and the whole field had to try and catch him. In the process, Yates lost it in the same place he did the day before only this time he took out Mat Mladin in the process. Ouch. Mat was moving up [...]
