I’m still filtering through a bunch of videos I have here (you can submit links to good videos you’ve seen here), but figured since Sundays are notoriously slow for new content, I may as well post the crashes I’ve found today. Keep those helmets on soldiers.

Did the muffler fall off on the first one there? Click here to view the whole post.

As the anti-biker, I can’t really relate to what this must be like to throw my ass between cars while going over 100 MPH. The closest I get is in videos people post online of their first person riding experiences. Some are crazier than others with what seems like a deathwish. Take the Ghost Rider example (skip about a minute in if you’re bored):

Or another, on the streets of Paris:

But some people are not quite as crazy, and it’s still pretty neat seeing their videos: Click here to view the whole post.

This was not terribly exciting, but it’s pretty nuts how it just burns and burns. This R6 had a mission to become a pile of molten metal and plastic.

Plug it in, charge it up, then ride a silent motorcycle up to 112 miles. I usually won’t post stuff like this here, but I thought this was neat because of the mechanics (er, magnetics?) involved. Tokyo-based Axle Corporation says that the battery of the next-generation electric vehicle motorbike can be charged at home, in the same way as a cellular phone. It takes a little over 6 hours to fully charge the battery, and the vehicle’s maximum speed is capable of reaching 150 kilometres per hour (93 miles per hour).

I’m glad to see magnetic motors being brought into mainstream. Who knows when we’ll get anything like this state-side, though.
