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.

The EGO – Compact Semi Submarine By Raonhaje

Cool fishbowl sumbarine by Raonhaje EGO

Thanks to a Korean company, Raonhaje, discovering creatures of the sea can now be done in a very unique way. And best of all, you can do it all by yourself thanks to the easy to operate ‘EGO – Compact Semi Submarine’.

The central two-seater fishbowl cabin hangs down from two floating upper hulls with access to the cabin provided via a trapdoor and stairs.  The EGO can be driven just like a car ,with a foot pedal for throttle rather than a traditional hand lever like boats. The EGO has a top speed of 4 knots and is driven by an electric motor that can hold a charge between six and ten hours.
