2012 Morgan 3 Wheeler – Motor Trend

Motor Trend’s Carlos Lago takes the funky Morgan 3 Wheeler out for a spin. It’s essentially a giant torpedo body powered by a big Harley Davidson style motor. You get the openness of a motorcycle with a bit of vintage fighter plane swag. Carlos says he adores the car because it makes everybody happy. I don’t know. I can think of a lot of better ways to spend $45,000 on cars/motorcycles that actually handle well. Like it or hate it, the 3 Wheeler still makes for a fascinating review.

Double Grab Back Flip – Red Bull X-Fighters 2012

I’m admittedly not an experienced motorcycle guy, but these tricks seem to be getting cartoonishly ridiculous. I’m wondering if the R&D process involves getting a trauma doctor and a mechanical engineer working in tandem to figure out ways to crash that would best devastate the largest number of bones in the human body. The guys then just take that and figure out some way to land it for our entertainment.
