Honda Gold Wing tech info
Honda Gold Wing description
This Goldwing was built in the 70's by Malott's Honda in Manteca California,Malott's built custom Goldwings & sold their own line of accessories called MCA.I believe this bike was the first or one of the first that they built to showcase their products in print ads & at motorcycle shows.It has all of the accessories offered in their catalog including the Lester mag wheels.The paint job on the bike is in amazing condition for being over 40 years old,there are some small chips here & there but it shows very well,it is all done with airbrush & is hand pinstriped there are no stickers on this bike.It has 52000mi on it & was in storage with a cover over it since 1997.I got it through a friend who had seen it in the warehouse & knew I was looking for an older Goldwing to hook up to a sidecar that I have,the bike belonged to the father of the owner of the warehouse & when he got too old to ride he parked it, & there it sat for 19 years.When the bike was put in storage the fuel was drained & the brake fluid was drained from the brake systems,I bought a new battery,changed the oil,added fresh gas & she fired right up.The brakes will need to be gone through & are not operational,the bike runs well but should be serviced before riding it.Has original toolkit,owners manual & kick starter.You will most assuredly be a hit anywhere you go on this bike,it is a time capsule from the 70's.the only reason i'm selling is I got an estimate to paint the sidecar to match the bike & almost had a heart attack.

Asimo: Lazy bastard
Wed, 22 Aug 2012Honda's ASIMO, Advanced Step in Innovative Mobility robot is a pretty cool thing. Until I'd seen it in the flesh (plastic?) I thought it was just a willy-waving exercise from Honda, but when I saw it running and walking up and down stairs, I was massively impressed. So, perhaps, one day, we'll have the ability to buy a relative of ASIMO to help us around the house, I thought to myself.
The Bourne Legacy motorcycle chase
Fri, 20 Jul 2012Motorcycle chases will play a big role in this year's two spy films, with James Bond riding a Honda and now a clip from the upcoming Bourne Legacy shows an action packed chase scene. The Bourne Legacy will follow a similar premise with a rogue CIA agent being hunted down by the agency, it is also the first film in the series not to feature Matt Damon as Jason Bourne, instead handing over the reigns to Avengers Assemble star Jeremy Renner. What's your favourite motorcycle chase on the silver screen?
