Motor Ramah Lingkungan Piaggio Hybrid USB
Milan, Italia.
Eits, jangan salah sangka dulu, USB yang dimaksud disini bukanlah USB flash
drive yang ada pada komputer, melainkan motor konsep terbaru dari Piaggio yang
merupakan kepanjangan dari Urban Sport Bike.
Motor ini sempat diperkenalkan di ajang pameran motor The 67th International Bicycle
and Motorcycle Show (Eicma) di Milan. USB diklaim sebuah motor skutik yang memiliki kenyamanan layaknya ketika mengendarai mobil.
Hebatnya lagi, motor ini ternyata juga tidak mau kalah dengan mobil-mobil konsep yang saat ini banyak keluar dan menyuguhkan teknologi hybrid sebagai penggeraknya.
Sebab Piaggio USB teryata juga diaktifkan oleh dua mesin yakni mesin bensin dua-stroke dengan direct injection ditambah dengan motor listrik yang berguna untuk menggerakan roda belakang.
Seperti detikOto kutip dari motorcycle, Selasa (17/11/2009), USB diklaim dapat menyemburkan torsi hingga 47 lb-ft dan berjalan dengan tenaga listrik sampai sejauh 31 mil pada kecepatan 37 mph atau sekitar 60 km/jam.
Karena itulah Piaggio berani mengatakan bahwa USB adalah sebuah motor menawarkan perjalanan menyenangkan namun tetap ramah pada lingkungan.

Motor Terlaris Bulan Oktober 2009
Namun apakah motor-motor paling laris di bulan Oktober? Ternyata motor bebek Honda Absolute Revo menjadi motor paling laris di Indonesia selama bulan Oktober lalu.
Sebab di bulan Oktober silam, Absolute Revo terlihat begitu perkasa dengan penjualan mencapai 114.435 unit, jauh meninggalkan para pesaingnya dan menjadi satu-satunya tipe motor yang dapat menembus penjualan hingga 100 ribu unit lebih.
Di posisi kedua baru motor tanpa gigi alias skutik andalan Yamaha, Mio, yang mengintai bersama dengan Vega ZR di posisi ketiga dengan penjualan masing-masing 97.110 unit dan 58.133 unit.
Sementara duo skutik Honda yakni Vario dan BeAT tampak kompak dengan mengantungi penjualan masing-masing sebanyak 50.463 unit dan 49.585 unit serta mengantarkan keduanya di posisi empat dan lima.
Menurut data penjualan wholesales Asosiasi Industri Sepeda Motor Indonesia (AISI) yang detikOto terima, Jumat (13/11/2009), dalam daftar 10 motor terlaris bulan Oktober yang kami susun, kedua pabrikan tersebut nampaknya telah berhasil menyingkirkan lawan mereka.
Namun meski mendominasi posisi lima teratas jajaran motor terlaris bulan Oktober, pasukan Honda ternyata kalah banyak dengan Yamaha di 10 besar motor terlaris.
Sebab bila Honda menyumbangkan 4 produk mereka dalam daftar 10 motor terlaris, Yamaha tampil lebih banyak dengan 6 produknya meskipun dalam total penjualan bulanan maupun tahunan Honda masih memimpin pasar Indonesia.
Berikut daftar 10 motor terlaris di bulan Oktober.
- Honda Absolute Revo: 114.435 unit
- Yamaha Mio : 97.110

The Hunter and the Hunted - McKeel Hagerty
A reflection from McKeel Hagerty -
"This photo was taken last week in a farmer's field in South Dakota. The truck is an International and it won't be moving under its own power ever again. The hunter is a guy who seems to shoot with his eyes completely closed…but that is another story.
As I reflect on this truck I wonder how many cool old vehicles like this are sinking into the ground in farmer's fields. They are not valuable "barn finds" or hidden gems but rather the detritus of another time, a utility vehicle that lost its utility. This one probably spent its years of use hauling light loads around the fields of Kennebec, SD. It was probably inexpensive, it had no creature comforts and it served its purpose. Maybe it hauled blind shooters like me around on hunts of yesteryear but it never drove in a parade. As I drove around from farmstead to farmstead over a few days, I think I answered my own question; there are tens and likely hundreds of thousands of lost vehicles like this. Evidently, their only use these days is target practice.
It makes me realize that the vehicles we insure are truly an elite group, each with an elevated purpose. Even if a collector car of today was originally a utility vehicle like this International truck or a salesman's sedan or a plain-Jane four-door hard top, it is now a cherished object for someone and it made the cut. There is, after all, a kind of natural selection with the cars we drive. In their days of active use, the first ones are likely lost to traffic accidents or acts of God. The ones that make it a few more years are repaired and maintained and then slowly retired or traded in or scrapped. Only a few are saved from the scrap heaps and fields of South Dakota to be preserved or restored and then elevated to a new use of providing smiles, fueling egos, getting girls, winning races and trophies or just putting in a few scenic miles on a Sunday afternoon. There are likely only single-digit millions of these rare machines left in the entire world and their kind will likely never be made again. We at Hagerty are the trustees of the most cherished vehicles ever built and I, for one, promise never accidentally to shoot one again."
McKeel Hagerty wrote this blog to the employees of Hagerty Insurance on his recent experience. Thank you, for sharing your reflection with other collectors in classic car hobby.

7th Annual Christmas-For-Kids Car & Truck Show
The 7th Annual Christmas-For-Kids Car & Truck Show was a hit with over 550 classics, street rods, muscle cars and modern collectables spreading across the Hendrick Motorsports campus.
There isn't enough time in the day to speak with every classic car owner to hear their unique story behind their classic. Enthusiasts traveled from Louisiana, Virginia, South Carolina and further to have the opportunity to participate in the show event organized by the Carolina Camaro Association (www.carolinacamaroassoc.org).
Click on the video to view this amazing 1977 Pontiac Trans AM 6.6 Liter. The owner of the classic mentioned he owned a '78 "back in the day," and finally had the opportunity to purchase this '77 ten years ago for $2,800!
This was one of my favorite streetrods at the show. This is a '48 Cadillac! The sleek design of the exterior and interior really makes this streetrod stand out from the crowd.
It was incredible to witness all the classic cars parked while driving down the hill into the Hendrick Motorsports campus! The Carolina Camaro Association (www.carolinacamaroassoc.org) and Hendrick Motorsports (www.hendrickmotorsports.com) did a great job organizing this event, and encouraged enthusiasts participation throughout the day. Congratulations on a successful event! Classic car shows and cruise-ins do not end in the Southeast!
See you at the next show!
