Yamaha RD400 Wheelie

Not many clips of these around, wish I had a camera and youtube around back in my day though! These were fun ole bikes in fun times

🙂

Tricky back in there day, very small powerband and you had to get it just right to wheelie off the throttle, normally together with a tug on the bars at the right point.

Always a great thrill though 🙂

Yamaha RD250

Browsing around Youtube and came across this and brought back many great memories.

Amazing job the owner has done on this one , looks like it has just come out of the box!

I forgot just how awesome these bikes looked back in there day and the wonderful sound of having expansion pipes on these.

Brought smiles to my face hearing that lovely pop pop noise they used to make!

Mars Spirit Rover movement

Seems after a million tests and being stuck in sand for 6 months, the wee little rover has moved a bit.

I think its amazing the batteries inside the machine still charging as well as they are.

Still I hope the team working in it get the result they want, heaven knows they must have the patience of a saint!

ASIMO

As always , what Japan and Honda are doing in robotics is totally amazing.

Can anyone even imagine the awesome product they will have out in the next 10/20 years!
