Lambda-class T-4a shuttle
After doing a little research on the T-4a shuttle I was stunned to find its entry in the Wookieepedia is actually extensively detailed, like crazily, crazily detailed.
Films
Petrol – Food – Beer
This wonderful short film tells the tale of three British men who decided, in the early ’90s, to climb onto their £500 motorcycles and ride them around the world. With no preparation, forethought, research or very much money. And they did it.
1966 Chevrolet Batmobile and 1966 Yamaha Batcycle
It’s not everyday you get to buy 2/3rds of the Batcave in one fell swoop. These two immaculate Batmobiles are heading to the auction block on the 1st of December this year with an estimated cost of $125,000 – $175,000 USD, which is less than a new Ferrari 458 Italia and an order of magnitude cooler.
Ursula Andress Handstand
I love the look on Sean Connery’s face in this shot. I won’t beging to speculate as to what he was thinking, but I’m sure it had nothing to do with Dr No.
Urban Outlaw
This film is a deeply captivating look into the life and times of designer and Porsche builder, Magnus Walker.
Hell On Wheels Moto Rally
The Hell On Wheels Moto Rally is exactly the sort of thing that I (and you too if you’re a regular Silodrome reader) would absolutely love to take part in. It’s essentially a “run what ya brung” motocross event with BBQ, country music, beer and bikes.
Evel Knievel – Feature Film
This 1971 feature film tells the story of infamous motorcycle daredevil, Evel Knievel. It’s equal parts comedy and biography with plenty of stunts thrown in for good measure, it’s 1:28:00 long and it’s well worth watching if you’re the kind of person who used to jump bicycles over rickety wooden ramps as a child.
1987 WRC Rally Portugal
This brilliant 25 minute film covers the classic 1987 WRC Rally Portugal including interviews with the drivers and some fantastic racing footage.
Temple Vibes
This captivating 2 minute video was shot by the talented Yuji from Japan, he was in Bali visiting the Deus Bali “Temple of Enthusiasm”…
The Raiden Files – Portland to Dakar
“The Raiden Files – Portland to Dakar” is a 30 minute film featuring some of the most spirited riding you’ll ever see in the saddle of a Triumph Tiger. The film has a blend of urban riding, off road riding and extreme off road riding with a number of fairly wince inducing accidents.
Hillclimbing – On Any Sunday
This clip is from the iconic film “On Any Sunday” which is well worth a watch if you’ve never seen it, it’s also well worth a watch if you have seen it.
Vintage Triumph Motorcycle Factory Film
It’s great to see the manufacturing methods employed during the 1940s (or 1950s) in this film, the total lack of automation and resulting man hours required to build a motorcycle is remarkable to see.
