Of all of the projects we've seen come and go on The Kneeslider, the Musket V-Twin by Aniket Vardhan is special. It first appeared here in April of 2009 and over the years it's evolved and grown and been refined by Aniket into the beauty it is today.

Beautiful New Harley Lawwill Street Tracker by Bob Netherton
This is a very clean street tracker, built by Bob Netherton, and it isn't until you take a closer look that you realize what a nice job he did here.

Just like the "motor vehicles only" signs of today, I can easily imagine "transponder equipped motor … [Read more...]
Tesla Motors Keeps Pushing the Envelope with Extended Warranty
Some people have a way of earning your respect. It doesn't matter whether you agree with them on every issue, their actions set them apart. For me, Elon Musk is one of those people. He just increased the warranty on the the Tesla Model S 85kWh drive unit to eight years or infinite miles, whichever comes first, so it now matches the battery pack.
