Biker Died 3 Times, 38 Operations, But Still Wants To Ride
This is the attitude you develop as a Ducati rider. Long live the grandfather from the UK!
Biker Died 3 Times, 38 Operations, But Still Wants To Ride: "
How much do you love your motorcycle? Gary, a grandfather from the UK, had a terrible accident with his Ducati motorcycle.
He died 3 times, but was revived. He had to undergo 38 life saving operations to function normal again. He's in a wheelchair, but he's already thinking about his next motorcycle.
Would you?

Antistatic E-3POD concept wins Citroen design award, job for its student creator
And another trike!
Antistatic E-3POD concept wins Citroen design award, job for its student creator: "
Who says dreaming doesn't pay? A young designer by the name of Heikki Juvonen recently won himself a six-month job placement at Citroen's PSA Design Centre in Paris after producing the most compelling response to the company's Double Challenge set to students at London's Royal College of Art. The premise was simple -- put together an aesthetic for an ultra-compact urban vehicle that Citroen could call its own, and judging by the imagery above, we can all probably agree that Heikki achieved a very distinctive look with his E-3POD. We're not yet certain how we feel about being inside the largest of the three wheels for the duration of our electrically powered journeys, but the young gent has half a year on his hands to tweak and refine his eye-catching design. We'll be ready to test-drive the prototype as soon as Citroen becomes mad enough to build one.

The 10 Most Expensive Motorcycles in the World: "
Got a few gazillion bucks burning a hole in your biker wallet, or just wanna dream?

Real GPS HUD Info For Any Motorcycle: "
Using Augmented Reality with an Android's smartphone camera, GPS navigation software and the Follow Me app from Route 66, you can now safely use this GPS on your motorcycle.
When you look at the phone for instructions, you still get to see the road ahead of you, and to make matters easier, all you need to do is 'follow' the virtual vehicles in front of you.
Nifty...
