Video: Jaguar F-Type presents Desire

The pending release of the much hyped Jaguar F-Type roadster just got another boost with the release of the  short film Desire. Featuring Damian Lewis (star of the TV series Homeland) and Shannyn Sossamon, this quick peak at the new F-Type features not only the lovely new Jag, but more importantly, the soundtrack that this car makes. If the audio in the film is to be believed, this is going to be one wicked sounding car. I like Jags and am looking forward to this car hitting the market. Look out for a possible test-drive from East-West Brothers Garage in the future, but in the meantime, enjoy the film after the jump.

Video: St. Patrick's Day Ride Highlights

So far, New England has proven chilly this year with a very limited number of days that are suitable for riding. Getting a little stir crazy, I decided that it would be fun to head down to Wood Hole, MA to the Pie in the Sky Bakery for some breakfast. Setting out in the morning, the air temps had barely crested 30 degrees, making for a rather brisk ride when factoring in the wind chill. I opted to keep things dialed back given the low temps and the amount of sand and gravel still left on the roads, but it was still a good day to be out riding.

Watch a selection of highlights from the ride after the jump.

Video: First ride of 2013

After putting my motorcycle away in December of 2012, a confluence of a busy work schedule and crap-tacular weather in the Boston area has kept me from riding in 2013. However, when an opening finally presented itself in early March, I jumped at the chance, took the battery off the tender, geared up, and headed onto a few local roads to work the cobwebs out of my brain and do a quick check-up on the bike to make sure everything was working correctly.

News: Near collision between motorcycle and SUV on GMR caught on film

This is probably one of the more absurd things that I have seen this week. A near collision between a motorcyclist and a couple of high school kids in a purple Toyota FJ cruiser was caught on film by both vehicles involved. Not sure what the kids in the SUV were thinking, but crossing a double-yellow on a blind corner is just not acceptable behavior. A further justification for why we need better driver education curriculum in this country? Watch both videos after the jump and judge for yourself.

Maybe I'll come down...maybe I won't...

This video was sent to me from a friend. It seems that some people just don't know when not to pick a fight, especially when the police are involved. It does, however, make for an absolutely hilarious situation.
