Fallout Motorbike, a tribute to classic chopper in a futuristic package

Designed as a tribute to the classic chopper, the “Fallout” by William Woods is a concept motorbike executed with the street-fighter ethos of function over form. Combining the single sided swingarm with the Bimota sourced frame, the futuristic motorcycle creates an exclusive hub-centered steering for a steaming yet smooth ride. Featuring short bo

Metalback Motorcycle Concept

Computer renderings of concept bikes are two-a-penny these days, but this one deserves more attention than most. Metalback comes from a leading automotive designer called Jordan Meadows, and it’s an attempt to marry the ethos of the traditional café racer with contemporary green credentials. “The concept is powered by a v4 engine running on bio diesel,” says Meadows. “Its frame and skin are crafted from recycled aluminum. This has the advantage of saving weight to enhance performance, while reclaiming pre-used material. In the manufacturing process, the alloy is treated to patina and age naturally without expensive and harmful paint applications. The net effect is a raw natural surface which suits the classic cafe racer, and recalls the romance and power of vintage WW2 fighter planes.” It’s an interesting approach and Meadows has the history to back it up: until last year he was Design Manager at Mazda’s North American Design Center, and his CV includes stints Volkwagen, Chrysler/Jeep and Ford. The big question is whether a mainstream motorcycle manufacturer would be prepared to go down this road—and is the public prepared to buy into it? [Image © Jordan Meadows Design.]

Seppster 2 Ice Racer

My folks live in England, and—like most people in Western Europe—they’ve spent the past few weeks buried under snow and ice in the most vicious winter for decades. Which led me to thinking about all the motorcycles locked up in garages and sheds, waiting for the roads to clear and tires to find grip. So when I happened across this extraordinary machine from TGS in Germany, I had to feature it. The bike was built by TGS’ owner Tobias Guckel for Sepp Schmidt, hence the name ‘Seppster’. And those huge Avon Cobra tires each have 120 spikes for maximum purchase on ice … Of course, it’s not an entirely practical bike, unlike the hugely popular ice speedway racers of Europe, but it’s a very interesting alternative to the usual ‘Hot Wheels’ style choppers. Power comes from a turbocharged S&S 93-ci motor, but virtually every other part of this machine was built in-house by TGS, from the radical single-sided front fork to the rigid frame and wheels. This bike came third at the 2008 World Championship of Bike Building; like Hot Dock’s StG Nautilus, it was overshadowed by Roger Goldammer’s paradigm-shifting ‘Goldmember’. In any other year, Ice Racer would have grabbed the spotlight, and rightly so.

The Indian Motorcycle Company

Indian was the largest manufacturer of motorcycles in the world during the early part of the 20th century, and the "Indian" brand was America's oldest motorcycle company, until its demise in 2003.

The company built its first production motorcycle in 1904, the diamond framed "Indian Single." The engine for the Indian Single was built by Aurora in Illinois. The Indian Single's deep red color became a signature of the brand. The single-cylinder motor was modeled after the de Dion-Bouton vélocipède engine, which produced 1.75-horsepower. The Indian Single could reach a top speed of 25 miles per hour.

What MotoGP news

 

Nearly four months absent from the last series in Valencia, November. MotoGP began to squirm again. Unmitigated, many observers say this season is guaranteed to be more exciting than the previous season. Why is that? The answer is easy. From the rookie only, not half-hearted. There's last champion 250cc class, Hiroshi Ayoama. Then the runner up in the same class, also joined in Marco Simoncelli. Not to forget the World Superbike world champion, Ben Spies helped to enliven the atmosphere.
In addition to the rookie, "watchman" MotoGP were already in action. Look at Stoner, who in the last few series could amaze by winning the first position on the podium. In fact, several months earlier, he was exposed to a mysterious illness that made him tired. But this year? Australian rider is guaranteed to enliven the market potential world champion 2010. Meanwhile, his teammate, world champion 2006, Nicky Hayden did look "paired" with his new ride at the Ducati team. In the 2009 season, Hayden, proved consistently tried to enter the top 10. Honda duo? It certainly should not be underestimated. Pedrosa, who suffered a prolonged injury, is recovering and ready to become a serious competitor. The proof, he closed the 2009 series with the champion in his own country, at the Jerez circuit.

 

Two MotoGP rider are practicing.

And what about the duet Yamaha? Lorenzo slightly less well because his fate is still injured hand. Therefore, he has not been able to participate in practice at Sepang, in January. However, his experience head to head with the doctor, was expected to make it more mature this year. Because, no matter how well tehniknya ability, experience is the element that can not be forgotten. Still fresh in the memories of the lovers MotoP, when both drivers took turns leading the standings this season, 2009. And do not forget how manipulated Jorge Rossi on the last lap and the last curve in the series Catalunya. Here, the role of experience Rossi, who made him wait to see the opportunities, plays an important role.

 

Fantastic Duel vs. Lorenzo Rossi in Catalunya. Dejavu?

However, when viewed closely, Rossi returned to get a set of rivals that can not be taken lightly. How could I not? Spies, Aoyama and Simoncelli is very decent drivers that competences into account. Spies, went top 10 while the last series. He also signed the order to six during a practice session at Sepang circuit, Malaysia, Friday (01/26) last. Aoyama, is the 250cc class champion, while the runner-up, Simoncelli also layakdiperhitungkan. The two rivals in the 250cc class is certainly going back to fight in this elite class. Meanwhile, veteran players will definitely try to be more competitive than previous seasons. Marco Melandri, Loris Capirossi, Colin Edwards, Toni Elias, Dovisiozo, Randy de Puniet, etc.. They can only give a surprise. Collin even get into the order of the top five at practice at Sepang, Malaysia, Friday (26/02) last.

Well, judging from recent developments. It seems that the 2010 season which will begin April, promising tussle between the old and new people. Obviously this gives a sensation for the audience of MotoGP. It could be a rival Ben Spies Pedrosa and Stoner. Or Aoyama industrious trailing Rossi and Lorenzo. Even Stoner can be intercepted by Simoncelli. To be sure, tensions and world-class performance of the more anticipated MotoGP racer. And of course, the charm of the paddock girls! (Hnr)

MotoGP Qatar; Fantatis

Anyone who watched the fight elite class of racers in the MotoGP event on Monday (04/12) morning was worth satisfied and no regrets. How could I not? A few hours before aktivititas work begins, it's where MotoGP "forcing" fans to open the eyes watch the racers favorite.
There are two interesting things in this 2010 season-opening series. First, the beginning of classes Moto2, where drivers use the engine 4 stroke, 600cc. This is different to the 250cc engine that uses 2-step, the capacity of 250cc. And second, the MotoGP class itself is filled by a combination of a more refreshing than the previous season.
And of course that the star is the elite class, MotoGP itself. From the composition of the drivers only, not predictable, who will dominate this season. In addition to the veteran champion kinds Rossi, Stoner, Lorenzo, Hayden and Pedrosa, also attended the rookie or newcomer. But these newcomers, it's champions in the previous class. Call it the Ben Spies, who won the World Superbike 2009. Then there's Marco Simoncelli, 250cc class champion 2008 and not behind Hiroshi Aoyama, winner of the 250cc class last year. Coupled with the presence of Alvaro Bautista, Hector Barbera and Aleix Espargaro each champion and runner up in the 125cc class, and five in the 250cc class. Then what happened?

 

Lorenzo dan Simoncelli.

Pedrosa, who slipped to fourth position, a month thereafter the other racers. After the smoked Lorenzo, he must get back strikes from Ben Spies. Seizing the position of the fifth one had occurred, before eventually won by Spies. Just wanted to reply to Spies, Randy de Puniet, precisely re-examine Pedrosa as the next target. No doubt, Pedrosa trying desperately to maintain the position. But what can I say, even a de Puniet was still too tough. Pedrosa slipped to seventh position. In the back, there was a duel veteran. Between Colin Edwards and Loris Capirossi. Although it did not last too fierce, Edward managed to steal Capirex position. Meanwhile, Aoyama, fought until the end for the top ten. At the same time, Lorenzo, slowly but surely came close duel Hayden and Dovi. Inevitably, seizing positions in all lines!
Three last lap, Rossi tactics "pit" Hayden and Dovi quite successful. Although it was in the overtake by Dovi at some corner, Rossi managed to reclaim that position. It takes work extra hard for "The Doctor" to create distance with Dovi and Hayden. While both drivers are following each other around the bend and straight tracks, they were not aware, a rival with the number 99 has begun to follow.

 

Rossi, Dovisiozo dan Hayden.

The Doctor Did It Again!

Two of the last lap, Lorenzo decided to bring the original character that is aggressive. After trailing Hayden a few corners, the "Kentucky Kid" dilibasnya. Hayden was trying to fight, but in vain. Lorenzo which saves energy and patience to pursue its course, too strong. And as if not satisfied, then bulldoze Lorenzo Dovi on the last lap to put himself in second place. Like Hayden, Dovi who had fought since the early laps, seemed to be too tired. Finally, again came into conflict gaining a podium, but this time for third position. Both Hayden and Dovi are equally adamant. Maybe they realized, when their colleagues fall (fall Stoner and Pedrosa slipped to seven), this is where they show off the ability of the truth. Finally fierce battle was won by Dovi who overtake Hayden on the final corner and the last lap too. He split second ahead of Hayden. Meanwhile, Rossi is pleased to do wheelie after entering the finish first, followed by Lorenzo. Spies, the favorite rookie, entered the order of five, then Edwards and Pedrosa in the position of the sixth and seventh.

 

No M1, so scooter too!The result of the opening series of Qatar into a kind of sign that anything can happen in MotoGP. Lorenzo, do what has been done by Rossi that is be patient and wait for opportunities. From fifth position, he was pushed to the runner-up. Dovi and Hayden, who has always been in nomorduakan by their team (Repsol Honda and Ducati Marlboro), successfully demonstrated that they also have fangs. Spies, meet everyone's expectations by going top five. Stoner? If it does not drop, he might champion. Pedrosa, may be more willing to take back his position. Rossi? What else can i say? He's The Doctor. (Hnr)
