Wild Hogs - The Movie
24/01/2007 by info.
Later this year a movie called Wild Hogs will hit the cinemas. It’s basically the same theme as the movie City Slickers with Billy Crystal, but the horses are replaced with Harleys. Looks like the typical Hollyweird movie fare about wannabe Biker stereotypes, but I guess it might just about bring a grin out here and there. The movie is not generating that much fuss online either. A few blogs mention how fat John Travolta has become, after finding some photos from the shoot. Then of course there’s the little mishap where Hells Angels sues Disney for using their logo in the movie.
Well, here’s the trailer - you decide. I guess that the biggest laugh we’ll get from this movie will be taking the piss out of it with the other bikers at the local hangout.

The future of motorcycles….??
24/01/2007 by info.
The “R-Bike” is billed as a Robotic Shape-Shifting MotorCycle. It adjusts it’s wheel base longer or shorter, causing the seat height and rake shorten or lengthen. Here’s a quote from the website…
Imagine leaving the house on your MotorCycle in “Standard” mode. As you leave the side streets and enter the open highway, you shape-shift into a Cruiser and take the highway out of town. The ride gets long and so for comfort you switch to Touring mode. After many miles, you take an exit onto rural two-lane twisty roads and see a dirt and gravel road on your left, so you shape-shift into an Enduro and take the turn ….
Here are some specifications…
- Regular, Hemi or Diesel (750cc and 1000cc)
- No rusting materials anywhere …. inside or out.
- Extremely over-engineered to last as long as possible.
- Variable length intake
- Variable length exhaust
- Multi-link suspension ON BOTH ENDS!
- No chain tensioner needed
- Center of mass retained by shifting the engine
- Mimics shapes of each bike style precisely, from Chopper, Cruiser, Tourer, Enduro, Deep Woods
The design is in concept form, but according to the designer, the next stage is to look for investors, and then actually put it into production. Visit the website for more info… http://erikbrinkman.com/rbike/
