Honda CX

Hey y'all, as a part of this weeks Man Mountain take over, I caught up with guitar player Mike Reaume to discuss the Honda CX. Both Mike and Man Mountain bassist David Reaume own and ride the Honda CX, which is the 80 degree VTwin little brother of the Honda Goldwing series. After tearing it up on the back roads of south east michigan, we stopped for a drink and some food and talked a little about his go to bike

"What do you like most about the Honda CX?

 How different it is. I love the transverse vtwin. Being that it is shaft drive and liquid cooled, it makes for a really fun ride. 

"How do you feel about how the cx has taken over the CB to become the new Honda project bike?" 

It really makes sense. It's just a different kind of motorcycle from honda and can be easily converted to about anything you want. 

"What do you plan on doing to your cx?" 

Swapping out to Mikuni carb kits and true dual exhaust. Eventually I want to switch to a tracker seat and strip it out to a scrambler.

"What bike would you get, money not being a factor?"

The bmw r9t. I just love the bmws. There is something so special about the boxer motor. It's a perfect blend of classic and sporty

Thanks for sticking with us all week for our Man Mountain take over, and don't forget to check out their new song here!

Ride safe

Koenigsegg One:1

I'm stepping outside of the box with this week's #wcw feature, to bring you my ultimate crush --besides Alexander McQueen like, always..

The Koenigsegg One:1 Sweden's 280 MPH Carbon Fiber Hypercar

The name One:1 comes from the power (1360 PS) to weight (1360 kg) ratio giving the car 1 PS per 1 kg weight. The 1360 PS power output is the equivalent of one megawatt, which Koenigsegg is claiming makes the One:1 the ‘World's First Megacar."

The One:1 is equipped with a variant of the same 5.0-litre Twin Turbo Charged Engine, used in the Ageras.The One:1 boasts a phenomena 1,360 horsepower at 7,500 RPM, and 1,000 NM (737 lb ft) of torque from 3,000 until 7,500 RPM. The total weight of the engine is only 434 lbs thanks to a the Carbon Fiber Intake Manifold, and Aluminium Construction. The transmission is a 7-speed Dual Clutch Paddle Shifter.

Koenigsegg is only creating six, uniquely developed and designed One:1 Models (all of which have already been purchased.) This is one of the most exclusive production car programs ever conceived.

Now, I promise that I'll be back to crushing on all things fashion next week..
Or maybe not, I mean, I am a Motor City Girl after all...
