This is probably the closest most of us will ever come to owning one of Kenny Dreer‘s new Norton Commando 952 SS (Signature Series) bikes. Sadly the Kenny Dreer / Norton America story has come to a close unless an investor can come up with some cash (US$25-50 million at least?), which is not a bad price to pay for a bike which has already reached a prototype stage and is ready for production.

Seen here is a 1:12 scale model by AUTOart, as reported by in slotcarnews. Enjoy!

If you’d like to know more about the new made-in-America Norton Motorcycles you can check out their website. The bikes looked good and could have been a real contender in the Ducati Monster / Triumph Bonneville market segment.

What sort of toast is included in the breakfast of champions, asked one gentle reader. Well folks, this is it, the ultimate motorhead toaster – KTM’s RACING TOASTER, a product under KTM‘s ‘Orange Equipment‘ lineup of merchandise.

Wouldn’t your wife just be SOOO happy with this? Check out the toast that comes out – it’ll have ‘KTM’ on it! Hahahaha! It’s just hilarious! The KTM Racing Toaster actually burns the KTM logo onto the toast.

Austrians have a sense of humour after all eh? THIS is what I want for Christmas. Please, oh please Santa … give me a KTM RACING TOASTER! KTM‘s Orange Equipment merchandising people have seen fit to price this hilarious item at 45 Euros, which comes to US$66.63 or RM216.20. Prices may vary in your location due to shipping, handling, duties, etc.

If you’re looking for a ‘test ride’ … there won’t be one here until KTM gives me a go but here’s a KTM Racing Toaster ‘test drive’ at MonsterBoard (A Ducati forum).

Triumph Motorcycles pays tribute to one of the most charismatic movie stars of all time with the re-creation of the t-shirt worn by Steve McQueen, which he used while racing his Triumph bike.

The first in a series of casual products that have been officially licensed by Steve McQueen‘s estate, the t-shirt is in an ‘as worn by’ style, taking its design cues from the vintage style t-shirt worn by McQueen.

The t-shirt is made from 100% cotton single jersey and features the vintage Triumph logo print on the front. The inspiration for the design is also established through the ‘Steve McQueen Special Edition‘ slogan on the reverse, whilst the arm features his signature.

The t-shirt is to be launched on the 24th of March, the anniversary of McQueen’s 78th Birthday. It will be available in black and white, in both men’s and women’s sizes, from all Triumph Motorcycle dealers and www.triumphmotorcycles.com.

The McQueen t-shirt will be joined in April by the new summer t-shirt range, featuring a large number of new styles.

Out of all the brands which have tried to make a comeback – Norton via Kenny Dreer, Vincent via Bernard Li, and others, only Triumph Motorcycles has put bikes on the road for sale to enthusiats, with a growing nationwide network. Long may it continue!

I was out today to buy motorcycle gloves (that’s another story), when I saw this in a watch shop.

Casio produced these exclusive Kawasaki Racing Team G-Shock watches a few months ago. Casio G-Shocks are famous for being able to withstand hard knocks so this is the ideal watch for any devoted Kawasaki rider. The Kawasaki Racing Team Casio G-Shock comes in a specially designed case. The G-Shock, as it name suggests is shock resistant (perfect for Moto-X eh?). Among other functions this watch has a triple-split stopwatch and dual 100-lap memory. It allows a rider to actually put his or her need for speed to the test!
