Dodge Concept Bike

I saw this Toma­hawk V-10, the other day over at Yahoo.

Dodge intro­duced its Toma­hawk V-10, 8.3-liter (505 cubic inch) concept motor­cycle at the North Amer­ican Inter­na­tional Auto Show in Detroit on Janu­ary 6, 2003. The super­bike fea­tures inde­pend­ent four-wheel sus­pen­sion, and its engine, bor­rowed from the Viper sports car, can pro­pel the Toma­hawk at speeds of nearly 400 mph, accord­ing to Dodge.

400 mph! Think of the bugs in your teeth 8-O Four wheel drive! Are they sure it is a bike?

Edit: The ori­ginal pic­ture I linked to has been removed by Yahoo news. You can still find inform­a­tion on this at americanmotor.com, The Chicago Tribune, and The Cruis­ers Website

Update: Dodge now have a proper web­site for the Dodge Toma­hawk with pho­tos, news, specs, etc.

Crypto — Finished

I fin­ished Crypto: Secrecy and Pri­vacy in the New Code War by Steven Levy yes­ter­day. It really was a very excit­ing book. I par­tic­u­larly liked the fact that about half way through the book, it got into the stuff that I remem­ber hap­pen­ing at the time. The start of the cypher­punks mail­ing list, the birth of PGP, the clip­per chip fiasco, etc. But of course with a lot more detail (and drama) than I knew of at the time. There were lots “Wow! I didn’t know that”, and “So that’s what happened!” moments.

Recom­men­ded!
