World's fastest 125cc!

146.77mph or 236km/h. That's a lot of speed but when you factor in the engine in question, you do feel amazed. A 125cc engine belting out 44bhp helped Scott Kolb pilot a Honda RS125 powered Streamliner to such speeds and in the process set a world record at the Bonneville Salt Flats recently.

Terrafugia flying car - production by end of 2010

The future is here! Remember watching those flying cars in the movies of the 70s and 80s?

Massachusetts-based flying car company Terrafugia is one step closer to putting a road-and-air-going flying car into a reality. A suitable production facility has been located in Woburn, MA and we believe the production could begin within three months. For this Terrafugia will hire 50 skilled workers and extensive testing will begin on two prototypes.


Regardless, we are getting closer to realizing many a young person's dream. A flying car evokes romantic visions of picking up a date then soaring through the clouds. Sure, the styling of the Terrafugia Transition is a cross between a PT Cruiser and a Paul Walker Pep Boys special, and yes, we are also aware that the skies will eventually become clogged with traffic and flying down the Air-405 will be a nightmare. Still, it's not often you get to see a childhood fantasy come to life.

Jean-Michel Baron passes away

Jean-Michel, a Dakar competitor has passed away 24 years after his accident. All this while he had been in a vegetative state. The French motorcycle racer was in coma for 24 years following a crash in the 1986 Paris-Dakar Rally.
After spending almost a quarter of a century in such a state, Jean-Michel Baron passed away at the age of 56 at his home.

Baron was just 31 years old at the time of the crash; the Frenchman spent several months in hospital before being taken home, where he survived with the help of his dedicated wife, Jocelyne.

May his soul rest in peace!
