BMW R1200 GS: Hands-On Review
(30 September 2009) - While CH counts BMW among its top brands, I personally never truly experienced what they mean by "the ultimate driving machine" until they lent us the latest model of their BMW R 1200 GS to test drive for a couple weeks. As a rider who's never handled much larger than a 750cc, I was a little intimidated standing over the 33.5-inch-tall bike (about six...

2009 Ferrari 599XX and Maserati Gran Turismo
(13 April 2009) - Kicking off this year's New York International Auto Show last week, we attended the U.S unveiling of the new Ferrarri 599XX and Maserati GranTurismo S Automatic at Ferrari's Park Ave showroom. Both were originally exhibited at the Geneva Auto Show a few weeks prior and are the focus of much desire. While the GranTurismo is the more practical choice, the Ferrari, a professional level...

Honda Monkey Bike
(03 April 2006) - My scooter-loving friends swear by the traditional Italian brands like Vespa, Aprilia and Lambretta, so they've been slightly disgusted that my head has been turned by the Japanese. First it was Honda's Zoomer (or Ruckus as it's also known) that impressed me with its pared-down Mad Max minimalism. Their classic Monkey Bike, updated from top to bottom in shiny chrome, has won me over....

This year the Cannon Ball Run style, drive all day and party all night rally begins in London and does a 3,000 mile European tour before ending in Monaco. There are over 100 vehicles-- some old, some new, many fast and a few driven by stars. My favorite is the Biodiesel Tourag driven by Daryl...

PALV
(27 January 2005) - PALV, a revolution in personal transportation? Well, maybe-- but I don't think a personal air and land vehicle will work anytime soon. Bad traffic jam? No problem, lets just lift off and fly home--wait, don't hit that overpass! What a disaster waiting to happen. Could you imagine the air traffic with a highway full of people lifting off in there little PALV's? I like...

Marc Newson at the Groninger Museum
(06 July 2004) - The Groninger Museum in The Netherlands is featuring a solo exhibition of Marc Newson's work. Reluct has lots of pictures, and a focus on his personal jet concept, the Kelvin 40.

Biodiesel
(01 June 2004) - Maybe it's because of all the bullshit oil politics, or maybe it's because I just revisited my crunchy Vermont roots-- either way, I'm fascinated by Biodiesel at the moment. It is an old concept that's seeing a rebirth among socially responsible and environmentally conscious youth. My friend Nori runs her Merc on Biodiesel and taught me all about it. What is Biodiesel? Biodiesel is...
