USB Motorcycle Engine hub
Here's the gadget for any self-respecting motorcycle riding geek out there; - the SolidAlliance 3-port USB 2.0 Engine Hub.

It's a USB 2 hub, allowing you to connect 3 USB devices to your computer. The USB hub has the shape of a motorcycle engine. The detail of the engine is quite amazing.

The motorcycle engine has a kick starter, gear shift and makes real engine noises. When you change gear, the engine makes a different sound. Start up the engine by using the kick starter.

All-in-all, a real gadget for motorcycle geeks.




Here's a video of the hub:


You'll be able to buy it shortly online at GeekStuff4U Open link in a new window

Price: About US$ 43

    Sounds like it may be a little low on oil, with all the clicking. :-)

    Also, any 'after-market' pipe options so I can make it sound more like my Harley?

    It actually looks like a fun novelty.

    At least gearshift is on correct side for the old english engine it is modelled on (BSA) even if the pattern is upside-down to what it would have been. It was that way (and racers still use it) so you can upshift around a corner without having to get your foot under the lever, just press down to go up a gear.
