It's common knowledge I want a motorcycle. I just don't have permission from two very important ladies in my life. (I think the exact words were, "over my dead body".) Until the untimely demise of my wife and mother, I have nothing but my dreams and my goatee.
Until this bad boy came out, courtesy of Intel and Orange County Choppers. I'll let Engadget tell the story.
Apparently the world's largest chipmaker has so much love for Discovery Channel's (and now TLC's) American Chopper that it commissioned Team OCC to assemble perhaps the highest tech bike in the world. This 250-horsepower workstation on wheels probably sports more digital kit than Sturgis or Laconia have ever seen, including either a quad or octo core chipset (sources don't make it clear), removable UMPC that doubles as a virtual dashboard, rear-facing cameras to replace the mirrors, full audio and video capabilities, GPS of course, and what sounds like a 3G data connection. The two-part build will air on July 12th and 19th, when you can probably expect to see Pauls Jr. and Sr. get into a shouting match over which OS to install on the chopper, as well as Mikey trying to play The Sims while barreling down the Taconic at 90 MPH.
Needless to say, I want one. As a fan of OCC, and Intel (thank you very much Apple), this will make it to the Christmas list filed under "when pigs fly" or as Wayne says "when monkeys come flying out of my butt."
For more dirt on the bike, check out InternetNews. Let's hope that this bike never crashes, physically or dataically (okay you get the idea).
Haha... You are so funny, Jeff. I get a kick out of these kinds of posts! (Not to say the vehicle isn't neat, but I have to agree with those two important women in your life!!)
