Jun 27 2007Motorcycle Engine USB Hub
Some awesome folks in Japan have created this replica of a motorcycle engine that also happens to be a USB hub. Turn it on and the thing rumbles and makes noises like an actual motorcycle engine. And because that wouldn't be weird enough on its own, this thing is also a USB hub. So you can run your USB gadgets through it while letting it rumble on your desk. Because, you know, sure, why not?

Now the geeks can fantasize too!

Thank god for that! The last thing we need is more useless cookie-cutter v-twin garbage. I'll take a parallel twin any day over a v-twin, unless it's my Superhawk :)

I think it's supposed to be a "generator"? So it looks like it's running all your peripherals. Duh?

It's based on a Triumph parallel twin. Notice the triangle plate. Very cool.
