►Sym
Scooters Hommage au Passé
Every year I stop by the Storz booth to
drool over this Harley flat track homage. I'll
probably never own one, but something about it speaks to
me.
Right across from the Storz booth is a
big display of Sym scooters. Sym is a popular
brand in the UK, and their products are looking better
and better each year.
A couple of interesting examples caught
my eye -- this 125 cc retro motorcycle with the yellow
rear shocks looks like another homage, this time to the
Honda CB125. And how about the step-through
scooter homage to the old
Honda Super Cub, the primary form of transportation
for many countries in the world?
The Storz Sportster-based flat track homage.
The Sym CB125 homage.
Sym Super Cub homage.
Definitely not an homage. The K&N V-Rex by
Travertson.
►Akuma Streetfighter MID Gloves
Akuma is always busy, now branching out into gloves and
clothing. We reviewed the
Streetfighter gloves in 2008 and they used the
Dealer Expo to introduce the Streetfighter MID: "Medical
Information Device".
The MID prototype glove, shown below, includes a
Care Memory Band, which is a miniature USB drive,
fitted into the glove cuff. The band can also be
worn around the wrist.
The USB drive contains a self-installing computer
application that allows the owner to enter a medical
history, contact information and more into a
standardized database.
Apparently, when Emergency Medical Technicians come to
the scene of an accident, they look for this device and
plug it into their computer to get information on the
victim, contact information, family members to contact,
insurance information, health history, medical
indications, drug allergies and more. I didn't
realize this was standard operating procedure, so this
is an ingenious application and the MID band could be
worn for many other types of sports.
The gloves will be available in April 2009 at a list
price of $139.00.
