Limited Edition x New Era "DMV" Fitted

The Limited Edition x New Era DMV Fitted was created by the Limited Edition Inc. team: Marcus "Giggz" Diggs, Tommy "Canayda" Bouldin, and Ben. DMV stands for the 3 states: DC x Maryland & Virginia. Under the brim of the fitted, you will notice the logo for Limited Edition LTD/ED that stands for “Live The Dream EveryDay.” We wanted to create something that represents the area where we are from; we wanted it to be official, clean, classic, and exclusive at the same time.  We linked up with New Era, and the rest is history!….(read more at www.dmvfitted.com)

Knox Handroid Motorcycle Gloves Are Like Robotic Hand Armor

The rest of your body may be mangled beyond recognition in a serious motorcycle accident, but your hand will be pristine from the wrist up when the police find it in a nearby ditch thanks to the Handroid glove.

Seriously though, this is some bad ass body armor for you hands. It features a rugged exoskeleton that cushions impacts and prevents hyperextention of the fingers, a scaphoid protection system to prevent injuries to the bone that connects the thumb to the wrist, honeycomb gel impact protection, wrist guard shrouds, and the BOA lacing system for a superior fit.

Pricing information has not been announced, but look for it on store shelves in March. While you’re at it, you might want to protect your whole body with some of the super-advanced looking upper and lower body armor from Knox.

Redman Is Counting Down

My dude Redman is keeping the "REAL" hip-hop alive and well. Just when I was going to totally give you on the genre, real emcees keep me coming back to listen to hot verses served up properly.

When Worlds Collide: Sidi Motorcycle Boots Meet Balenciaga Lego Heels

Shoes and Motorcycles. Two aspects of my life which I love that are pretty much mutually exclusive in use. That was of course until the Balenciaga Ready to Wear Fall 2007 collection strutted itself down the runway in February. Do you see the family resemblance?

Can you imagine the sheer joy of arriving at the office, sitting down in your chair to pull off your old well-loved but manky motorcycle boots and slipping those babies on? I know, I know. The shoes aren’t for everyone but I cannot help but LOVE them! Sadly, at over $4,000 never the two of us shall meet.

It boggles the mind that a $250 pair of motorcycle boots would compare as “cheap”.

Trials and Tribulations

Sherco USA makes some of the meanest Trial bikes on the market today. Check out their latest...

2011 SHERCO TRIALS MODELS
EFFICIENCY AND BEAUTY COME TOGETHER IN THE 2011 SHERCO

The 2010 Sherco trials motorcycle was a total renovation, it was a completely new bike with new concepts and new ideas that were the beginning of a wide range of developmental opportunities. The new 2011 Sherco models are a clear example of this, in addition to several tweaks and a new beautiful appearance; they represent a major step forward in the continuing saga of the evolution of Sherco. Sherco has made another great leap forward with the 2011 bikes, building on the experience gained over the past several months in the most demanding competitions.

The new 2011 Sherco has a completely new engine which was redesigned from the engine cases out. The cooling system lines are integrated into the new cases, thereby eliminating the external lines, this leads to increased reliability and reduced maintenance. The new housings are aluminum pressure diecast and are machined in a single cycle. This insures maximum accuracy and perfect alignment for all of the attachment points. The new engine design incorporates a major change in the reed valve area, including a new orientation; the engine size has also been reduced. The clutch has a new master cylinder, a new hydraulic line and a new slave cylinder, which combined make the complete package smaller in size.

The fuel tank has been redesigned and it is manufactured using a heavier gauge aluminum alloy. The gas cap has been relocated and is now centrally located in the middle of the rear fender, providing much easier access. As was the case with the 2010 models, the new model utilizes a fuel pump to supply the gasoline to the carburetor. The new pump is a double internal circulation unit that ensures constant fuel flow in all circumstances. The 2.9 model is equipped with the Dell'orto VHST flat slide carburetor.

The air filter housing has been redesigned by adopting a new inlet pipe along with a new lid with a clip system that improves the closing and sealing of the filter. The changes have not affected the air filter access and maintenance but the improvements allow the filter to stay cleaner longer in optimal conditions. The engine receives more cool air and the filter material area is greater than on any other trials bike. The inlet nozzle has also received some minor tweaks in order to improve airflow to the carburetor.

The tubular frame dimensions have not changed, it has received some minor tweaks, and the front has new anchor points for the new panels. The frame now includes removable steering stops. The chassis and body have been given a new beautiful appearance, based on the brand’s corporate colors, blue and yellow with white on the frame.

• Redesigned clutch and clutch cylinder
• New aluminum alloy fuel tank (relocated filler location)

Brimstone Cycles Quadracycle ~ The World's First Hot Rod Quadracycle

We've had quite a few quads here on The Kneeslider, usually several steps out of the ordinary for one reason or another, but I think the Brimstone Quadracycle, a hot rod quad from Brimstone Cycles, takes it to the next level. You still straddle the seat and steer with handlebars, just like any other ATV, but after that, comparisons pretty much stop.

Joe Skonecki, CEO of Brimstone Cycles in Bowling Green, Ohio, figures motorcycle and ATV engines are OK, but, once you have 4 wheels, you might as well go all out. If your tastes are a little different, he'll build you something with an aluminum Dart block with anywhere from 427 to 455 cubic inches and 300 to 750 horsepower, it can even be set up to run propane. A paddle shifter works the GM 700R4 4speed Transmission sending power through a Ford rear end. He uses your choice of carbon fiber, Kevlar, or aluminum for the hood and fenders and when you run through the spec sheet, he'll actually give you your choice of almost anything throughout. Joe does say the optional front wing is mandatory for speeds over 125 mph.

The appearance is sort of hot rod from the cowl forward, with a high performance quad smoothly grafted on to the back. I think the words "hang on" should be stamped into the dash just above the gauges.

Joe points out that every part possible is made in the USA, too, just trying to keep some of the guys over here gainfully employed in the high speed and horsepower business, can't argue with that.

Joe cites performance numbers of 0-60 in 2.8 seconds, 0-120 in 6 seconds while still getting 15 to 30 miles per gallon. I'm not sure about how this is registered on the street but you can set it up with a sound system and mount a hitch for pulling a small boat.

No prices are quoted but, with all of the optional configurations possible, that might be difficult. Not for everyone but a pretty interesting build, for sure.

The Best Divorce Letter Ever

Real TRON Lightcycle Test Drive

Parker Brothers Choppers, a Florida bike shop, put together 10 custom-built, street-legal Tron Light Cycle lookalikes. For a cool $55,000, you could be riding one, launch on Dec. 17 premier. According to Jeff Halverson of Parker Brothers Choppers, each bike features a steel frame, fiberglass bodywork and a V-twin engine from a Suzuki TLR1000. Stopping power comes from a custom made friction drum that keeps the bike true to the look of Daniel Simon’s latest Light Cycle design.

ROOKE CUSTOMS VETTEL15

In the US there are a few builders who aren’t in the mainstream public eye as much as they should be. One of them is California-based Jesse Rooke, who kicked off Rooke Customs in 2002. Rooke’s relatively low profile might be because he only does two commissioned builds a year; his bikes are all one-of-a-kind, so you can’t call him up and order a copy of a machine he’s already made. Despite this, his reputation is growing within the industry and he’s at the forefront of the new wave of US custom building. The Rooke Customs style is hard to pin down, and unusually eclectic thanks to Jesse’s background in AMA roadracing, motocross, auto racing and shifter karting. The bike shown here is the ‘Vettel15’, reflecting Rooke’s longstanding association with Red Bull Racing. Vettel15 was assembled during a Red Bull event at the Indy MotoGP last year, but has only just been publicized. Check the Rooke Customs website for more delicious eye candy, including his latest creation ‘Jaden’, a KTM-based cafe racer.
