Video: How Not To Do A Burnout

burnout-crash-video

Below is a short video clip of a Polish “biker boy” trying to show off to his girlfriend or a girl he’s trying to score with, by doing a burnout.  The video is only 9 seconds long but well worth watching over and over again.  The video title says it all, “Zajebisty jeste”, which means “fucking, you” (rough translation, thanks Google).

As an ex-biker, I kind of feel bad for the guy, he should have used the golden rule, which is, never show off to girls especially the ones with cameras, until you actually know what you’re doing (be it wheelies, burnouts, or other shenanigans).  Video after the jump.

Ducati Monster 100 Bulgari Vilner 1

Vilner Tuned Ducati Monster 1100 EVO Bulgari

Not a week goes by where we don’t write about a tuned car, however, it’s pretty rare for us to write about tuned motorcycles.  I guess because motorcycles (sport bikes) are already highly tuned by their manufacturers to squeeze out every ounce of performance from those small engines and there isn’t much bodywork that can be enhanced/tuned by aftermarket tuners.  There are rare occasions when a tuner works their magic on a motorcycle, in this case, the Ducati Monster 1100 EVO Bulgari tuned by Vilner.

I’m not sure if this project is a collaboration between Vilner and Italian luxury goods retailer Bulgari (Bvlgari) or the “Bulgari” is referring to Bulgaria, the country where Vilner is from.  According to Vilner, the Ducati Monster 1100 EVO Bulgari’s design is inspired by a praying mantis that’s moving gracefully while performing Kung Fu… or something like that, see their quote below.

World's First Underwater Aircraft

Necker Nymph – World’s First Underwater Aircraft

World's First Underwater Aircraft

There are very few guys out there that can be considered a finished man. Besides Jonathan Goldsmith, the most interesting man in the world, I would say that Sir Richard Branson comes in at a close second. Branson has pretty much done it all and is one of the richest people in the world. He has spent plenty of money on commercializing space flight, completed ridiculous across the world adventures, and now he is ready to conquer the sea.

His company has designed a catamaran called the Necker Belle which happens to be one of the fastest on the water. The cool thing about the Necker Belle is that it boasts the world’s first underwater aircraft dubbed as the Necker Nymph.  The Necker Nymph is a three-person aero-submarine capable of diving down to a depth of 30 meters to explore the deep without using any human power.

Big Russian Mil M-10 lifting a truck and house

I’m not a fan of war but I do love military pieces of hardware whether they are weapons, electronics, or aircraft. Although I am biased towards planes, today we will look at some of the biggest helicopters to exist. If you see these in real life, only then can you truly appreciate the engineering behind such beasts. So lets have a look at some of the biggest and baddest transport helicopters that were ever produced.
