Modern Vespa

So here's the kinda stuff I find when I'm bored

First, a motorcycle TOW vehicle...just bury me now, I've seen it all:

Next, I think I've found the helmet design that goes perfectly with the mp3 finally. No more looking like we're just trying to copy superbikes...this screams Mp3!:

And lastly, here's a bike to consider for the upcoming Halloween season:

those gold wing tow bikes are pretty awesome, eh? the video appears to be somewhere in the arab emirates but they are a japanese product. the extra wheel between the bike and the car to eliminate tongue weight issues is ingenious.

The skeleton bike is cool looking, I would never want to ride it though out of fear of someone calling me a skelefucker...

You will notice NOBODY has been pictured riding the skeleton bike...Whomever does "mount it" will like their doing the doggie style with rack of bones....what a sicko made that thing....

I'll just keep my freakish lil ole mp3 250,.... thank you very much....

Wow, the tow vehicle is really cool.

I still don't think it is very safe, but cool nonetheless.

Love that helmet. Star wars stuff... Bet it sucks at speed though, literally, probably stretching your earlobes out the back of the helmet and compressing the eyeballs at the same time... But it looks too damn cool!

In Asheville, NC they sell tee shirts that say, "If you are too weird for Asheville you are too weird." Lutherhoss, that stuff qualifies.

That helmet is sooo much more than just a helmet:

(It's a helmet with crazy lights in it)

I read somewhere the skeleton bike belongs to an orthopedic surgeon.

Dr. McCoy perhaps? (the tomato hurling can start now)

Looks like Slim Fast guy is hunkered over an old drivein movie speaker.
Just my thing...I like the artistic quality. But you can keep it, not my thing.

Worlds longest motorbike. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/motoring/motorbikes/6222786/Plumber-builds-worlds-longest-motorbike.html

looks like a scooter to me.

^ After seeing that I will not complain about my turning radius!

Would come in handy if me and the wifey were having a spat.

Yeah! Daft Punk helmets RAWK!

But for my money, I'd take a Batman cowl any day.

I sketched up plans at one point for a rig that would allow a BV500 or similar scoot to tow a small bike like an ET/LX. As long as it was tied down right, it would ride similarly to having a medium sized passenger on the back. The difference from the Japanese design was that mine allowed the towed scoot to lean along with the towing bike.

Behold the 'Bar Italia Scooter Club Rescue Vehicle!
sorry it has a Lammy on it.

BMW makes the awesome look SIMPLE with leaning three-wheeler (video)

Well that definitely qualifies as weird. It would have to ridden like a bike but it looks very ungainly to handle with pretty high CG... making active devices to control all the potentially opposing forces (you lean one way and steer another?) must be a full time occupation. Still, as the narrator says, they are gaining lessons learned for future application.

I do kind of like the 'fighter' styling, even if the M2HB is missing...

I thought it was the R2-D2 that was missing.

She can still use a catapult to get you.
