the didorosi adventures | part i






"Didorosi," I hear you ask, "what the heck is that!?"

"Didorosi" is a Jalopnik and Hell for Leather writer I had the pleasure of meeting a few weeks ago during our frigid Beaverun/Switzer GTR trackday adventure (covered by Andy HERE, and me HERE). We ate at Oberlin's FEVE and mapped out a daring (?), tequila-fueled raid on the US-Mexico border towns over stinky tots, greasy burgers, and waitress Liz - and the Lord looked down upon our little table there at the Feve, and saw that it was good.

Now, though, Andy's earned himself a few more points - by driving a freakin' Ducati through a shopping mall!

Sure, it's probably all trick photography and long-exposure shots, but that shopgirl (below) seems perilously close to Andy's junk - and THAT, dear readers, is what riding a Ducati is all about.





Oh, yes!

bring on the apocalypse: t800 diesel motorcycle






From Gas 2.0.


Despite the latest advancements in automotive hybrid and flex-fuel technologies, motorcycles and scooters remain one of the most efficient ways for energy-conscious commuters to get around town. Unfortunately, there haven’t been any real “alt fuel” options open to motorcyclists. As such, despite the incredible efficiency of some 2-wheelers (my own Honda Ruckus gets over 100 mpg), motorcycles remain petroleum-dependent gas addicts. They may be sippers - rather than guzzlers - but still, that will be cold comfort when the oil runs out and we're all scrambling for vegetable oil and kerosene to power our generators.

Enter Europe’s EVA, manufacturers of the Track T800CDI diesel motorcycle - a bike so full of exotic features and new technology that I’m almost at a loss for words … almost.

Heady stuff. CLICK HERE to read the post.
