Asphaltfighters Stormbringer certainly ups the ante

Asphaltfighters of Germany will certainly wow motorheads with their latest production motorcycle – just check out the raw numbers of the Stormbringer and tell me that this beast isn’t your next dream ride (on two wheels, at least). Packing in a 999cc engine, the Stormbringer is capable of ekeing out 220hp with another 60 ponies which will kick in whenever you surpass the 180kmh – sort of like nitro for a bike, albeit under controlled conditions. Capable of surpassing the 198mph mark, the Stormbringer will hit 62mph in a mere 2.9 seconds, making it much faster in pick up compared to supercars, while other achievable targets include 124mph in 6.5 seconds, and 186mph in 13.9 seconds. Each purchase will come standard with a HELD riding suit and kevlar/carbon X-Lite helmet, and you know you will get your money’s worth since the riding position and suspension have been tailored for the buyer – you. This means no two machines are alike (unless you’re identical twins), and not everyone who sits on your ride will find it as comfortable as they might think it would be. The Asphaltfighters Stormbringer boasts the full array of cutting edge technology including 10 stage traction control, heads up display, rear-view camera and programmable speed limiter among many others for a relatively reasonable price tag of EUR 57,500 – that is, if you’re an oil baron or fall under the Forbes list.

Judging by the specifications, one can more or less argue that this is the world’s most extreme production motorcycle for the moment. Needless to say, something this exclusive will be produced in limited quantities, where each purchase will see the suspension tuned to the buyer’s weight and the riding position. Made in Germany, it has the standard 165bhp Kawasaki ZX-10R as its base, where Warm-up will then rework everything to result in such a beast.

MATTRACKS: Scooter through the Snow

If you can’t wait until summer to try the Chariot Skates, then you may might want to see this product that is made for the winter snow.
The MATTRACK can best be described as a scooter, but with a tank tread instead of wheels so it will go through the snow. It has a handle on it so it can steer, and the frame is mounted on a tread in a way where the user can lean to make turns as well. There is a video of it in action after the jump if you want to see it for yourself.
It is designed for the winter sports enthusiast like snowboarders, but the MATTRACK doesn’t have any thing to clamp to the user’s feet. Instead, it has a metal grill of a thing that ought to hold the rider. If the rider falls off, there is a tether to turn off the power so the MATTRACKS doesn’t go away from the rider.
The MATTRACKS also has come convenient carrying handles so the user can tote it around easily enough when he or she is not on the snow.
I have no idea what this thing runs on, nor how much this costs. All I know is that it looks like a lot of fun, and I’m probably going to get a lot of snow this year. Why shouldn’t I have fun with it on a MATTRACKS?

Escort releases Redline radar detector

What’s the point of having a high revving sports car if you can’t push it to the limit on ordinary roads? Of course, most supercars can also be driven slowly to cruise past busy spots so that majority of working class folks would look on in envy, but paying off a speeding ticket (or tickets, depending on your luck) just because you wanted to let ‘er rip down that straightaway is a bummer. Escort hopes their Redline radar detector ought to prevent that from happening to you ever again since it features dual antennas that make the range a whole lot longer compared to other radar detectors. So long, in fact, that Escort proudly claims for it to recognize radar and laser signatures from as far as 13 miles away.

 No idea on how much truth is there, but the $499.95 investment you make here could save you thousands in speeding tickets sometime down the road.

Find your tools quickly with RFID tags

If you are in construction, TV reporting, or any other job that requires you to bring expensive tools to another location, then you know the frustration of leaving tools behind. On a somewhat related note, I left a camera behind at a wedding that I went to last week, and all I could think was: “oh, I should have done a quick inventory of my things before I just drove off”.

DeWalt is thinking the same thing when it created Tool Link, a way of keeping track of tools with RFID tags. The system comes with an RFID scanner with software for a truck’s dashboard computer, as well as two RFID antennas for a truck’s bed.

It also comes with 50 RFID tags that can be attached to any tool. So when you leave the job, you can check the computer and see if any tools were left behind, and track down the ones that are missing.

Of course, you will have to make a database for this, and you might wonder if the $1,500 price tag to install Tool Link in your Ford truck is really worth it. Just think of it as insurance. Is it easier to pay the high price now, or keep paying every time a tool gets lost?
