You might have that tough guy image of a biker with your Harley, but even the manliest of Hell’s Angels will still writhe in agony and pain should the stomach bug hit him – hard. Well, Toto is offering a chopper that has a slightly different agenda – it allows you to bring the toilet with you wherever you go in the form of the Toilet Bike Neo. What makes this bike different from the rest is the fact that it is powered by nothing but human waste. Yes sir, yesterday’s processed lunch and dinner will get you places, thanks to the biogas converted from feces that is harvested straight from the rider.

It was only a matter of time, or is that "Back in Time", that someone would develop a flying motorcycle or "hoverbike". Sure, we all know that hoverboards will be here by 2015 thanks to the documentary film series Back to the Future but hover bikes? We should have see this one coming. Leave it to an Aussie to develop a machine where one sits between two high speed propellers that are only partially shrouded. Here's more from Gizmag.com

Adventurous motorcyclists might be familiar with the thrill of getting airborne at the top of a rise, but the Hoverbike is set to take catching some air to a whole new level. With a 1170 cc 4-stroke engine delivering 80 kW driving two ducted propellers, the inventor of the Hoverbike, Chris Malloy, says with its high thrust to weight ratio, the Hoverbike should be able to reach an estimated height of more than 10,000 feet and reach an indicated airspeed of 150 knots (278 km/h or 173 mph). At the moment these are only theoretical figures as the Hoverbike hasn't been put through its paces yet, but Malloy has constructed a prototype Hoverbike and plans to conduct real world flight tests in a couple of months.

This past weekend at Donington Supersonic Rider Maxime Berger had quite an interruption during the 6th lap of Race 1 on Sunday. As you can see in the photo at the right, his rear wheel had a differing opinion about the best line to take in a turn and decided to leave Berger to finish the turn with just the front wheel. 

Needless to say Berger failed to complete the turn but fortunately he was unhurt and ready to proceed on to Race 2. As he was getting ready though his 1098R's cluth started giving him and his team fits making for a disappointing day (to say the least) for the Supersonic racing team. Better luck next time guys.

"It (was) tired from running and one of the officers nearly had it, but it spooked (and trotted away)," Davis said. About 30 minutes later, motorcycle officers on Kawasaki, Harley-Davidson and BMW machines managed to hem the horse in on Sunburst Street near Telfair Avenue, a news video cameraman reported.

One officer grabbed and held the rope clipped to the horse's halter when it stopped to rest in a yard in front of a home on Sunburst, RMG News reported. Animal control officers were summoned, Davis said. The motorcycle officers were dispatched by LAPD's Valley Traffic Division, Davis said.
