Red Eye: Yeah, I thought that was the Chotto Shot or GPS unit, but it isn't.. No Idea what that thing is..
the part at the end where he's taking out the little kid is awesome!
Hmm.. This isn't THAT new or innovative. It's almost as if they looked at Burton's Audex line and added GPS to it eh? I wonder if it'll cost the same as the Audex gear (mucho dineros!!!!)
Uncanny Valley FTW!
That's a mask right? I want that for halloween! I'll scare EVERYBODY!!
BWAHAHAHAHAHA!
GM has been putting plastic bodied cars on the road for a while now. Saturn L-series? Yup. Late model Trans-Am? Yessir! Actually, Corvettes have been made out of plastic since the 60s.

Body panels are easier to replace than sheet metal ones, but of course, not as durable, especially if it's extremely cold and the car takes a hit. Instead of a dent, you get a shattered body panel. Ooops.
That "loud pipes save lives" slogan is so backwards. It might have worked back in the 70s and 60s, but since the late 90s with cell phones, multiple kids in the back seat and in-dash DVD players, it doesn't matter if you have 125db pipes on your fatboy or open arrows on your Duc; what really saves lives is vigilance and skill. I don't trust anybody on the road but myself. Period.

As far as this bike, I think it's a step in the right direction. As the owner of a Monster and a Vespa, I'd like to see cheaper means of riding, and the idea of being able to spend $0 on fuel for the weekly commute is cool. I would of course keep my current bikes, but for the daily grind, why not?

They just need to work on that price. If they could produce something like that for urbanites at about $5-6K, they'd sell like redbull cans at a martini bar...
I know this is an old thread, but I got to thinking:

I would find it extremely amusing and entertaining if there was a HD show that traveled around the country to experience the nightlife of DJs. DJs don't have it as glamorous as TV seems to portray the job to be; it's all about customer service with folks that are either extremely drunk, or completely wasted. I don't think that people understand the crap that bartenders, DJs and waitstaff have to go through to make folks inebriated folks happy on a weekly basis!

A number of the folks I work/spin with have all said we should write a book or do a documentary, because the stories that come from the job every week are so ridiculous and incredible, that its amazing that a show wasn't already in existence.

Well, thats my big idea :P. I have another about following folks around the country as they tour known and little-known gems of america on motorcycles, as thats a hobby of mine, and the smallest towns sometimes have the biggest surprises.

Wha? What does that mean? Seat belts aren't for people in cars who can't drive properly, they're for when an ACCIDENT happens. Same thing with rider gear. You can be the best rider out there, but unless you can see the future, ACCIDENTS can happen. Protect yourself.
Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I own an iPhone 3G and I'm looking for a decent speaker / alarm clock for it. I am going to listen music in a mid-sized room, so I want nice quality speakers with solid bass. I also want to use it as an alarm clock, so it would be great if there is such a feature. The price can be low-mid to mid-high range. I was looking at the Klipsch iGroove SXT; it's powerful, slick and the reviews are good, but it doesn't have an alarm clock feature. It's no deal breaker if I can set it up from the iPhone, but I'm not sure. Thanks!"
