Hi guys, Paul here with something pretty funny. Seems like Calvin Klein is into motorcycles in his latest fashion campaign. Check it out.

A very futuristic, cold and industrial tone was set by stylist Karl Temper and photographer Craig McDean for the ck Calvin Klein Spring 2010 campaign ads.

Um, can you say posers? These man/he-she males are first of all, half staved. Secondly, non of them apparently know how to ride a motorcycle. the chick/dude up top is holding the clip ons backward.

And what bike is that? The headlight makes it look like a Suzuki TL-1000r. The swingarm looks like crap. OMG CK, if you are going to do something, do it right!

Really, the whole thing is laughable.

What’s up people? Remember your first magic trick? The one where you freak out your mom by pulling the tablecloth out from under her glassware?

Well, here BMW claims they can do that with their new S1000rr. The thing goes from zero to 100km/h (62 mph) in just 2.9 seconds, so it may happen! They are dubbing the experiment XXXL.

Don’t try this at home with your dishes. Or your mom’s ones.

In the back of my mind, it’s just not that impressive. You don’t need a big powerful bike. Just use a longer rope and get a run at it. It’s just physics and math. BUT, I gotta give BMW for thinking that one up!

Stay tuned for more updates guys.

Hi guys, after watching Avatar in 3D, I can’t wait to see other new movies using the same technology.

Hey what’s up guys? Jon here again. As cool as the S1000rr is, the first generation model is bound to hit some snags. BMW has issued a second software patch for their new superbike after two bikes getting a software update to introduce a rev limit suffered instrument failure. Yikes!

BMW dealers across the country were sent the initial software update in order to upload a new electronic rev limit for the S1000rr road bike during the running-in period.

For as-yet-unknown reasons two bikes in the United Kingdom suffered instrument failure and had to have them replaced.

BMW spokesman Scott Grimsdall said: “This problem has affected a couple of bikes by stopping the instruments from working.

“The revised software patch will stop it happening again and the two bikes are now fixed with new instruments.”

The first software patch BMW held back until March 1, 2010 to deliver new S1000rr machines to new customers as it waited for a new software patch to limit revs while the engine runs in over 600 miles.

The patch has been developed as a result of concerns that some customers, thought to be primarily race teams using new bikes for pre-season superstock testing were not adhering to the BMW running in procedure laid down in the owner manual.

Those guidelines stipulate the engine should not be run over 7000rpm for the first 185 miles and then not over 9000rpm until the 600 mile mark.

The new software patch removed the choice – ALL bikes heading for owners will now have the rev limit imposed until it will be electronically removed at the first service and oil change at 600 miles. Yes, this is lame, as some of us like to service our own bikes. But this being BMW, well, plunking down extra cash for someone else to do your work for you is part of the ownership experience, isn’t it?

Stay tuned for more updates guys!

Hey, what’s going on guys? Honda has unveiled a three-wheel electric scooter called the 3R-C at the Geneva car show last week.

Created by Honda’s research-and-design facility in Milan, Italy, the 3R-C prototype’s electric drivetrain is mounted low in the three wheeled chassis, keeping a low center of gravity for improved stability.

Honda say the “high sides of the safety shell seat give greater protection to the occupant, reducing the threat from side impacts and improving weather protection.”

It has a single seat and storage compartment for luggage.

The 3R-C was joined in Geneva by the EV-N concept, which was previously shown at the Tokyo auto show.

Despite producing numerous concept vehicles, Honda has yet build an electric-powered two wheeler for sale.

Honda CEO Takeo Fukui said recently: “Honda is currently developing a battery-powered electric motorcycle which emits no CO2 during operation, because the characteristics of a battery can be better utilized in the area of motorcycles, which are often used for short distance travel.

“Honda is aiming to introduce this electric motorcycle to the market about two years from now.”

Always cool to see what people can build with a large budget! Stay tuned for more updates.
