A bunch of Italians with time, nifty power tools, and a spare Ducati Multistrada motorcycle, turned their motorcycle into something else.

It's still a motorcycle, but would fit right into a Hollywood Sci-Fi movie.

In the UK, this would be the first sign you see when riding along the countryside on your motorcycle that you're in deep trouble.

It's a roundabout with 5 roundabouts inside it. Dubbed the Magic Roundabout, it has traffic coming from all sides.

The inventor is probably now in the local looney bin....

The SAM HCS is a dual color camera system mounted on your helmet, that through small LCD screens on your visor will show you what going on behind you on your motorcycle.

The LCD screens can be placed on your motorcycle as well. It's not apparent how big the screens or cameras are.

From the photo it's obvious that you can ride your scooter off road, though it's not a dirt motorcycle.

But somehow I don't think the people wanted to ride off road.. at least not with pleasure.

HollywoodParts.com is a company that sells Hollywood movie stuff used in the movies.

They have an interesting collection of stuff, including the motorcycle used by Arnold Schwarzenegger in the Terminator 2 movie.

If you've got US$25,000 lying around, it can be yours.

Sometimes politicians just don't get it (OK, not sometimes, it's actually very often). They make assumptions, they don't research matters, and then they want to make a law based on faulty findings.

It's the case at this moment in Belgium. Like most European countries, cars need to have a yearly technical inspection, and now a senator wants the same for motorcycles "BECAUSE OFF THE HIGH ACCIDENT RATE OF MOTORCYCLES".

Get your fact right before making statements like that.

Italian motorcycle manufacturer Ducati is changing ownership, again.... I've lost track in the last few years how many times they changed.

Thankfully it hasn't effected their product line up, but employee moral should be quite low. Maybe Harley should have bought Ducati... ;-)
