The new and improved Moto Retro Magazine!
Just got an email from Mitch Boehm that included and image of the new (and about-to-be-released) Moto Retro Magazine. For those of you who don't know, his previous effort "Motorcyclist Retro Magazine" went down to tough economic decisions that sadly had nothing to do with the quality of the product. So Mitch has branched out on his own and is continuing as a more self published entity. For now it's subscription only but it promises to be a very high quality product. I have all three copies of his previous venture and I can't recomment it highly enough. For more info.... Check it out HERE!
Ride the Machine.
Flossie the robot was constructed by Castrol to be used in lubricant testing for just about any motorcycle. Flossie allows testers to monitor how lubricants function over time in a variety of situations, with Flossie the one constant, shifting and riding the bike perfectly each time. Flossie learns, all by herself, how to get a feel for each bike and how to ride it. Via: Posci
Arvil had a feeling.
In 1964 Arvil Porter felt if you had more Horse Power you could go faster. So he built a 400 HP Chevy race car motor with Hillborn fuel injectors running alcohol for fuel and put it on two wheels.

James JeaneBay: The Metro City Racer.
This cyberpunk styled bike was created for ( but never used) an upcoming independent film called "Metro City Racer" and built from a 1990 GSXR Frame, Buell Lightning Tail, and two VRod Rear Wheels, the bike is powered by a 11 Horsepower 240cc engine with a torque converter and can reach speeds up to 50 mph. This clever bit of design can be yours as the builder has no-reserve price with an opening bid of a mere $1.00
