...those sharing the same public roads with the idiots. Hey idiots, there are places called race tracks for racing:

Here’s a prime example of why you should never speed on a public road. Because it’s not only you and your own pride and joy at risk, but everyone else you may encounter.



In the video above, posted to YouTube by Car_Slides (via Wrecked Exotics), a hoon driver in a Ferrari 458 Spider speeds across multiple lanes before cutting in front of a Nissan GT-R whose driver slams the brakes and swerves to avoid an impact.

The GT-R clips the median strip and loses control, eventually hitting another car in the next lane over.

Of course, we can’t see what happened earlier so perhaps the GT-R’s driver is not completely innocent as it appears the hulking sports car is moving considerably faster than the rest of the traffic, meaning the drivers of the two exotics may have been street racing.

New Lexus LFAs still unsold two years after production ended


Even today, four years after Toyota's Lexus division set out into the supercar world with the 552-hp, V-10-engined Lexus LFA, the car seems like a mirage. After a decade of planning and research, only 500 were built — meticulously, mostly by hand — with prices of $375,000 each. Able to be customized in 30 million ways, a special edition of the LFA lapped the Nürburgring in near-record time in 2011, and Lexus shut down production in 2012.

Two years later, Lexus still has unsold LFAs waiting as patiently as pastors in its U.S. showrooms. Last month it sold two; in 2014, it moved 17. Most new cars spend an average of just over two months on a dealer's lot; at this rate, the 2012 model year LFA might finally sell out in the United States right around Halloween. Why does such a fast car move so slowly out of Lexus showrooms?



Why really?  ???

Because it's overpriced! ;D

WE PETITION THE OBAMA ADMINISTRATION TO:

Allow motorcycle lane sharing on all public roads

Lane splitting is something the rest of the world allows. In areas with congested traffic, it allows motorcycle riders to use the space in between 2 lanes of cars traveling in the same direction to advance through traffic. This act reduces car traffic because of the space a motorcycle takes up behind a car. Currently the State of California is the only place where such action is legal. We petition to make lane splitting a nationally recognized act, and to follow similar guide lines that the State of California has set forth.

New Ducati 1299 Panigale confirmed - albeit by accident


A PHOTOGRAPH has emerged which appears to confirm rumours that Ducati will introduce a 1299 Panigale for 2015.

The picture was posted on the Facebook page of a US Ducati dealership after it won an award for top sales. It shows staff collecting the award at a dealer convention – in front of a picture of a Panigale with ‘1299’ on the side. 

The image was quickly removed from Facebook and replaced with a cropped one.



The oops photo:



The "cropped one"  ;D:

Fastest woman on a motorcycle hits 241 mph with electricity instead of gas





Colorado resident Eva Håkansson and her husband Bill Dubé, both engineers, have been building their KillaJoule streamlined sidecar machine for five years in their Colorado backyard, powered by a brace of A123 Systems' lithium-ion batteries and electric motors generating some 400 hp and 800 ft.-lbs. of torque. Last month, at the Bonneville Speed Week, Håkansson ran a two-way average of 240.726 mph over the six-mile course.

Speed records are meant to be broken on the salt flats, but Håkansson's mark stands out. That speed bested the previous record for a sidecar motorcycle by 25 mph — a huge jump by land-speed standards. The record made Håkansson the fastest woman on a motorcycle of any kind

2014 Harley-Davidson Street 750 & 500



Harley-Davidson broke cover, via its Facebook page, on its move into the mid-displacement segment in 2014 with its new Harley-Davidson Street 750 & 500 motorcycles. Both mounts are built around a new “Revolution X” V-Twin liquid-cooled engine, 749cc and 494cc respectively. The Motor Company plans to make these new entry-level mounts available by the second quarter of 2014 in North America, Italy, Spain, Portugal and India and has plans to expand into additional markets the following year. MSRP is listed from $6700-$7500 US dollars.

Street 750 and 500 models sold in the US, Mexico and Canada will be assembled (engine and bike) at Harley-Davidson's Kansas City facility. Those sold internationall y will be manufactured in India.

The Street 750 and 500 are the first new platforms for Harley-Davidson in 13 years. The chassis is “narrow and lean,” the front tire is slim and the suspension is “tuned for the roughest roads” to suit riding in urban environments. Harley-Davidson asserts that even though these mounts are smaller in stature than their cousins in the line-up, the trademark Harley engine note remains intact.
