One Sick World Superbike Crash

Isopo — Tue, 05 Aug 2008 15:58:58 +0000

This extreme crash from the World Superbike is one of the luckiest things I’ve ever seen in bike racing… Whoever this is got crushed into the padded wall, then falls down which saves his life as someone else’s bike just misses his head…

Whoever that is — he’s got one hell of a guardian angel.

Navanman must have one heck of a langer because he’s been working hard on his Suzuki TLR1000.

We asked him if we could post some of his photos and he kindly allowed us to — so here goes!

Thanks Mr. Navanman!

1976 Benelli 250 2C Cup

Isopo — Fri, 11 Apr 2008 18:16:57 +0000

If you’re a fan of vintage race bikes, and you like your bikes to have a little history — you will surely like Benelli bikes. Albeit Benelli is currently Chinese-owned (Qianjiang), the manufacturer’s history is closely aligned with that of the motorcycle industry in its root nation Italy.

According to Wikipedia: “Benelli was established in Pesaro, Italy in 1911. Teresa Benelli, a widow, invested all of the family capital into the business in the hope that it would offer stable work for her six sons: Giuseppe, Giovanni, Francesco, Filippo, Domenico and Antonio (“Tonino”).”

Anyway — this bike is NOT the average 1976 Benelli 250 2C. It’s the CUP version — not surprisingly a racing bike.

Ducati 1098S

Isopo — Thu, 03 Apr 2008 00:49:35 +0000

The presenter is obviously semi-braindead (no offence) but the bike looks terrific. It’s obviously a pure racing beast but according to the reports I’ve read he performs excellent as a cruiser too as long as you get it adjusted to your comfort zone a little, which helps to justify the price tag, obviously…

Banned tv-commercial: Kawasaki Ninja

Isopo — Wed, 02 Jan 2008 13:38:13 +0000

This ad was turned down by the federal commission due to it’s content. Not surprisingly, it was found to be promoting exceeding speed limits. No shit, sherlock!

Anyway — an excellent commercial none the less, and at least it’s straightforward. Yes, people do buy these Kawasaki Ninjas to go 286 km/h. It’s true.

Great bike — enjoy the vid!

First of all — the track is called The Doctor and it’s by ‘Megadeath’. It’s a great tribute to one of the most amazing riders ever to hit the tracks: Valentino Rossi.

I so love the Repsol Honda — it’s so very sexy.
