Do not give into temptation this winter like this guy did.

Saturday, December 1, 2007

(click to make the story bigger and funnier… I’m just glad the guy survived to ride again.)Thanks to HDSpeedy3 for sharing this somewhat familiar tale. It definitely warms the cockles… if it didn’t just burn them right off. This winter you might be tempted to roll the scoot into the warm and cozy living room, […]

This is either the greenest motorcycle I’ve ever seen (with a tree growing out of it’s gas tank), OR this is the rare motorcycle eating tree (related to but not to be confused with India’s “cow eating tree“).

(A DN-01 will all the added bells and whistles. Pretty sexy!) More great TheScooterScoop exclusives from Skorj at FilmWasters.com. This time we’ve got the final production version of the Honda DN-01 Automatic Sport Cruiser (not a scooter, but a two wheeled oddity for sure). Expect to see this on Japanese streets sometime next year. No […]
