Ghost rider is pretty much a professional rider with solid skill, so do not try to ride like him. You will be killed or ended up killing someone.
Suzuki GT750S Vallelunga
Friday, September 2, 2011 | 0 comments
Suzuki GT750S Vallelunga was based on 1973 GT 750 K' model. GT750 was water-cooled 3 cylinder 2 cycle monster, considered as ugly bikes back then but on the other hand, it has some cult like following and they are called "kettle" or "water-buffalo" because of water-cooled fin-less motor looking somewhat like a kettle. Vallelunga was a limited edition created by SAIAD, Suzuki’s Italian importer. Said, less than 200 units were made, and probably as few as 85, just so that the bike could qualify for the 1973 Italian championship races.

If you are one of those guys, you are not allowed in the garage. Apparently once douche, always douche. Hope he did not procreate.
The ending gives you a chuckle.

I guess his machine is Predator themed (calls it Predator gsxr 600) thus the ghilli suit. 1:11 mark he drags his met. Pretty fun video to watch actually.

The new Suzuki GSX-R750 and Ducati 848 Evo have all the cubes you'll ever need on the road or track, so do we still need 1000cc sports bikes?

Disasters Affecting Japanese Motorcycle Companies’ Operations
Wednesday, March 16, 2011 | 0 comments
Last week’s massive earthquake—possibly the greatest in recorded history—that devastated northwestern Japan has destroyed thousands of lives and disrupted Japan’s economy. But it’s also affected the motorcycle industry. Motorcycle Daily contacted the Japanese Big Four to find out how the disasters—Tsunami, earthquake and nuclear power problems—will disrupt production and other activities of some of our favorite brands.
None of the four companies’ USA communications departments had anything official to say about the disaster, but the home offices had prepared statements. Big Red will shut down six Japanese factories (including the Hamamatsu and Suzuka plants) by March 20th. The company will also suspend its regular operations at its factory and R&D center in Tochigi, which was much closer to the quake’s epicenter. The reason for the shutdowns (during which regular Honda “associates” and new hires will be told to stay home) seems to be to not only assess damage, but to also allow electrical power and other resources to be concentrated on relief and recovery efforts. To that end, Honda has donated 300 million Yen ($3.7 million), as well as 1000 portable generators and 5000 gas cans.
Yamaha reported one employee injured, but that there was no damage to any of its factories or other facilities in the quake zone. However, there was “caved in” pavement at Yamaha’s big SUGO racetrack, located not far from the coast in Miyagi prefecture. We don’t have official word from Yamaha on possible factory closures, either short term or long term, at this time.
There has been no official word yet from Kawasaki—either the Heavy Industries mother-ship or its USA affiliate. However, as most of KHI’s facilities are well south of the affected area, operations will probably continue unchanged for the short term.
Suzuki shut down operations at all of its Japanese facilities as well, placing “priority on the safety of all at subsidiaries and suppliers as well as their family members.” These factories include the motorcycle engine plant in Takatsuka, as well as the Toyokawa assembly plant.
Of course, these factories probably aren’t being shut down for purely humanitarian reasons. The affected regions are heavily industrialized, especially the city of Sendai. This means disruptions in the production of sub-components, as well as a fractured supply network. Also, the shutdown of nuclear powerplants and damage to the country’s electrical grid means reliable power could be a problem.
In fact, it will probably be some time before anybody knows the full extent of the damage, as the nuclear problem is still evolving.

Caturday-Motorcat

Below is an article from Washington post in2002.
For Motorcat, it was quite a ride
Motorcat’s wild ride ended last week — not on a motorcycle but at an animal clinic, where the fearless 17-year-old tabby succumbed to cancer.
For years, Motorcat and her human riding partner, known to all simply as J. Catman, caused double takes all over the Washington region as they tooled down the highways astride Catman’s Suzuki 500, both riders sporting crash helmets. With her ears pressed down under the headgear, Motorcat was the ultimate hepcat, seemingly unflappable, her claws casually sunk into carpeting that lined the motorcycle’s gas tank and back seat.
Cat and Catman first hooked up in 1987 at a local garage, where the grime- and grease-covered feline was already showing a proclivity for engines. Whenever Catman watched racing tapes at homes, “she’d be very interested and get up on the chair and start looking at the TV,” he recalled in a 1993 interview in The Post.
The riding began in 1988. At first, the pair never traveled over 35 mph; Catman would give Motorcat nudges to let her know about upcoming turns, though she eventually learned to rely on turn signals.
Catman insisted she was always trying to get him to go faster. She also liked riding atop cars and, despite her advancing age, she still rode regularly.
“We had just gotten back from the Beltsville Recreational Park on July 21, and she seemed like she was in really good spirits,” Catman said. The feline had developed diabetes in 1998 and breast cancer last year, and her condition deteriorated rapidly last week. On Wednesday, Catman says, he made “an extremely hard decision to put her to sleep.” Motorcat was surrounded by friends at the Takoma Park Animal Clinic, where she had been a patient for 14 years — but never for any motorcycle mishaps.
First Union Bank in Silver Spring is accepting donations for a gravestone and etched marker for Motorcat in the pet section of Parklawn Cemetery in Rockville. Any surplus funds will go to the ASPCA.
