Cool Videos

Latest video from the mighty garage , Mikes paying a visit to the Isle of Vashon TT part 1 of 2 not sure what the event is about ,some cool bikes parked up in the town,look out for the Laverda MIrage around !8 minutes in.

 

........... which is more than it does here ........... ( unless I blinked and missed it .... ) ...... Nice atmospheric film from Honda France though ........ Not all that often you get coverage of the night time riding .......

Comedy moment at 10:07 when " helpful " bystander gives rider a gentle nudge , stands there watching whilst others struggle to right the bike , and then buggers off ....... probably from a rival team ...........

American ex aerospace engineer living in Luxembourg creates all weather motorcycle ......... All that`s lacking is a windscreen wiper , just like Malcolm Newell fitted to his Quasars ,,,,,,,, although I think he reckons the curvature of the screen means water droplets will be displaced ( as long as it`s kept polished and clean ) .....

His energy , skill , enthusiasm and dedication knows no bounds ....... Could have gone out and bought a BMW C1 , but where would be the fun in that ? .....

Not bikes but cool

Nice advert , shame we don`t see ads like that anymore ......

,,, Interesting that Shell say that they had been working with Ferrari........... I seem to remember here in the UK a while back there was a Formula Shell variant available at the pumps ....... specially brewed for " high performance " engines presumably .......

Members of the Ducati Owners Club were convinced that Formula Shell was responsible for " problems " that had started to occur within the bowels of their Bolognese tractors .......... ( other than the designed in problems of course ) ..................... It seems Shell had forgone the opportunity to " work " with Ducati , whilst developing this new wonder fuel ( according to the DOC ) ........

Shell obviously refused to accept any responsibility ...... ( who in their right minds would want to start accepting liability for Ducati engine problems after all .......... ) .......... Coburn and Hughes would have had a field day re - directing all those warranty claims onto Shell`s doormat ...... ) .....

......... Formula Shell has long disappeared by now of course , although I believe Ducati is still around ........... ( now owned by Lamborghini , who are owned by Audi , who are owned by the Volkswagen Group ) .......... How long before Chinese made electric Ducatis , I wonder ? .....

The official Australian Ford touring car race team was Shell sponsored when they ran Sierras, and after continual engine problems they used Mobil 1 oil on the sly. Never heard any reports on the petrol. Shell "lead replacement" petrol was poison back when they sold it.
 

Nice circuit ....

No Laverda involvement ..... but .......

....... ex factory Laverda SFC750 racer Franco Uncini wins the race on a Suzuki prepared and entered by ex factory Laverda SFC750 racer Roberto Gallina ......

....... ex factory Laverda SFC750 racer ( and reigning 500 World Champion ) Marco Lucchinelli , who also won his world title on a Suzuki prepared by ex factory Laverda SFC750 racer Roberto Gallina , features as well .........

Rossi`s dad also in there too .........

I don't mind the British English language as long as it isn't too Cockney ;o)

I still can't get use to you Blokes driving on the wrong side of the road without killing yourselves and what's with them crazy Zig-Zag lines on the asphalt ?

A true example of treacherous motorcycling riding a sport touring machine in a City Zoo ;o(

Canadian Snowflake here ;o)
