Remember Noah Horak from Minnesota who had his motorbike nicked in Dublin city centre just a few hours into the Irish leg of his round the world tour?
Well the bike is back and in one piece, missing some fairings but apparently mechanically sound on first inspection. Currently in the care of Peter Bookey at Aaron Rider Training.
Having been obliged to buy another bike to continue his tour, Noah is currently in the UK.

Brandon Wright was riding east on U.S. Highway 89 about 11:40 a.m., when a driver steered his BMW 530XI into the motorcycle’s path from a parking lot across the street from the Utah State University campus, said Assistant Logan Police Chief Jeff Curtis. The driver of the BMW did not see Wright, who laid down his bike and slid into the car.
The motorcycle and Wright were pulled under the car, where the motorcycle’s gas line was severed, causing the bike and the car to catch fire while he was trapped underneath, Curtis said.
At which point, several fearless bystanders sprang into action.

A clean, eerily quiet new era dawns.

Hilarious tango ensues.

Wristwatch Motorcycles by Brazilian artist, Jose Geraldo Reis Pfau.
The time pieces that inspired Jose Geraldo Reis Pfau’s creations were collected with a help of a friend who happened to own a wristwatch shop. Through an advertising campaign, clients were encouraged to give their old watches as a first installment on the purchase of a new one.
Although Pfau only creates his art during the weekends, he has a collection of hundreds of motorcycles made exclusively from wristwatch components. They have been showcased at jewelry fairs and art exhibitions throughout Brazil and several other countries.
