Buell is getting their priorities straight these days, and nothing says this more then their new 2010 Buell Blast (pictured above).

How do you ride that?

You don’t. Buell has deemed the Buell Blast as “cute”, which does not fit in with their drive towards making the best and fastest sportbikes out there.  And so they’ve crushed their remaining Buell Blasts and will try to ignore the bike ever existed (probably).

The Buell Blast was a cute little motorcycle. It just never made much of a sportbike. But, as luck would have it, it makes a killer ottoman. Or end table. Or art piece.

Believe it or not, Buell has submitted the New 2010 Buell Blast to Motorcycle.com’s own Specs tool, featuring specs and data on this fancy new Buell ottoman.

The draw will be held at Legends Harley-Davidson (in Ledgewood, NJ) on October 3, 2009.  The catch?  It’s a raffle and tickets are $20 each!  Booo… but all proceeds will go to a local charity, yaaa!  Check out the Ad below for even more details.  Tickets are on sale now!

Maybe if I had one of these as a child instead of a traditional rocking horse, I’d be out building log cabins, competing in arm wrestling competitions, and “man’ing up”, instead of sitting at my comfy desk, looking at pretty pictures on the internet with my iMac and sipping Orange Pekoe tea.

You want to set your kids on the right path early on in life.  Starting them on a rocking horse hog could one day lead them to being the next Jesse James or Evil Knievel.

You want that, don’t you?

In the words of Jesse “The Body” Ventura in the movie Predator:

Bunch of slack-jawed f#@!#s around here. This stuff will make you a god damned sexual Tyrannosaurus, just like me.

Paul Teutul Sr. claims he was initially nervous before the interview but felt Palin was “a real down to earth person to talk to”. Maybe so but I would be careful not to offend her with that bear claw laying right beside her, grrr!

Did you know those killer motorcycles in the new Terminator Salvation movie (out on May 21, 2009) are Ducati Hypermotard bikes?  I guess the Ducati designers around the time of judgment day decided they should go for a more scary and human-destroying look.

Or the Italian Ducati designers were killed by Italian terminators, and then the machines took over designing the new bike…  I don’t think I’m a fan of their creative concept.

Ducati Motor Holding have just uploaded a video on Youtube tooting their own horns, proud that these life destroying vehicles are really Ducati’s at heart.

Hit the jump for their video and a few pics.

Harley is on fire with releasing “viral video” to promote their Dark Custom line and have now released this interesting video of a “modded” skateboard with fireworks strapped to it flying over some bikes.  Personally, I think it  looks like the guy is hanging from a wire when he crosses over those bikes.

Fake? Real? What do you think?

If you don’t already know who Paul Teutul Sr. is then you have probably never heard of his TV show American Chopper on TLC which first aired in 2002 or Orange County Choppers (OCC), the name of his bike shop. Teutul opened OCC in Upper State New York back in 1999, they produce and sell 150 custom bikes a year that start at $30,000. He has appeared and stared in many TV shows, including Long Way Round, My Name Is Earl, Celebrity Family Feud, Late Show with David Letterman (eight times), Nickelback’s Rock Star video and had a small part in the film Wild Hogs.

This niche market co-branding exercise marks the 14th Harley-Davidson edition of an F-Series truck dating back to 2000. The collaboration between these two companies has produced eight F-150 models, as well as six Super Duty F-250, F-350, and in 2009, the first Harley-Davidson F-450 edition truck.

While the original HD Edition F-150 was differentiated from other models little more than in paint color, badging and price tag, the 2010 model takes a bold step forward by combining Harley styling to the truck, most notably in the interior.

“The theme of the seats were designed to resemble a Harley biker jacket,” said Patrick Schiavone, design director of the project. For instance, seat backs feature ribbed leather treatments, engraved Harley-Davidson button snaps and even zippered map pockets featuring zippers identical to those on Harley jackets. The center console also features a l imited-edition serialization plate identifying each model as authentic.

So instead of simply getting a black F-150 with some chrome badges slapped on, which you could easily have done yourself, the 2010 Harley-Davidson Ford F-150 is a truly distinctive ride that incorporates elements from the most famous motorcycle brand in the world.
