Huge Motorcycle: Big Toe

Published by AutoMotoGadgets, on Dec 16 2007, in the categories: Funny, Moto, Transport

Not really a gadget, but truly, not a motorcycle either: the Big Toe, as it was named, is a huge motorcycle, standing at 7.5 feet high (2.3 meters). And, what is more important, it can be used on public roads.

Huge Motorcycle: Big Toe


Big Toe is powered by a 1975 Vintage Type E Jaguar SOHC 2 valve 60 degree 300HP 5.3L 12cylinder engine. Intake comes from 45mm twin choke Weber carburetors and a custom stainless muffler system handles the exhaust.


More, as you can see in the photos, it has helper wheels on the back wheel, since it is too big to be controled from the top.

The Remote Controlled Forklift for the Lazy Computer Geek


Oh, yes, you have to be lazy to want one of these things: a mini remote controlled forklift to bring our beverages closer to the hand. Yes, it is easier and less time consuming to actually go and pick up the drink, but it isn't nearly as much fun as this method. See the movie below to understand what I am saying (or go and buy it, if you want to):

Salomon Saab Aero X Ski Set

Published by AutoMotoGadgets, on Dec 07 2007, in the categories: Auto, Car, Sports, Transport

Did you ever drive a Saab? If yes, did you ever drive a Saab Aero X? If yes, you are among the few ones. But for the rest of us, we can now "drive" the Saab Aero X inspired skis, by Salomon.

Salomon Saab Aero X Ski Set


The price of the above ski set is at around $1000 in UK.

The only problem I have (the guys at carscoop have it also) is I fail to see the resemblance to the car whatsoever...

Benoit Saint Venant, Head of Design at Salomon said, “This collaboration is testament to the fact that Saab and Salomon complement each other perfectly and understand each other’s independent-minded target audiences. Both brands are celebrating their 60-year anniversary this year and together represent cutting edge design when it comes to sporty, activity-related products.”


Sure, why not?

It's a good time to be a kid today. And I am not talking about those that are young at heart, but about real, up to 10 years old, kids.

If I ever wanted a red Porsche when I was a kid I can't remember, but I am sure I never thought I would actually own a Porsche when I was 10.

What more could you want? Details? You have to be more than 3 years old and be less than 60 kilos. Now, just wait for the snow.

Viewing and adjusting your settings is a breeze thanks to the unit's large LCD screen which features backlit illumination for easy operation at night!


Now, all you have to do is use your remote controller with it and that's it. You still have to be careful, though, that kids don't try to play Carmageddon with it... You can find the complete kit here
