The Angry Bird Incredible Retro Fighter

The Honda CBR954RR Fireblade is an incredible bike to begin with, but thanks to its 154 horses on tap and also its impeccable handling, this bike seems like the ideal starting point for a custom project as well. That’s how The Angry Bird has been born, a stunning streetfighter, benefiting from Wenley Andrews’ unique vision and original ideas. Wenley’s passion for street fighters is well known in the two-wheel world, and for this ravishing bike he gathered elements from all his past projects, including the front-end and swing arm from a Honda VFR. Other elements worth mentioning are the widened wheel rims, custom-machined CNC triples, as well as the new rear end, which features a VFR swing arm. The bodywork is equally impressive, with a mask headlight, belly pan and pointy tail adding to the breathtaking visual appeal. Inspired by Triumphs and the retro cafe racer theme, the bike builder went for a vintage tracker seat and headlight, a new subframe that matches the tailpiece, and a lot of smaller details that will keep those of you really passionate about bikes busy for hours. The front fender is actually a hand-made fiberglass number, while a mini speedo, idiot lights, and bar-end and mini blinkers from Motogadget were added to the project as well. The frame was covered in black, with the rest of the bike beautifully finished by the talented Jack Johnson.

ETCH Clock Uses Elastic Membrane To Display The Time

ETCH is proposing a new method of displaying time that exploits a physical 3D effect. In the digital world, we’re used to seeing 7 segment digit displays, graphical engraved or embossed fonts and regular displays and clocks everywhere. We wanted to blend all these common experiences in an unconventional way while creating a “wow effect” and surprise at the turn of every single minute. ETCH is a disruptive way to look at time – it transforms an elastic membrane into digital numbers while engraving an elastic surface with a smooth and relaxing actuation. After the time display, ETCH will return “magically” to its initial position. ETCH aims to add a bit of magic to your important personal moments–the clock gives a physical presence to time with the 3D numbers engraved in its membrane that change every minute. Some moments only happen once and then are gone forever… ETCH tries to mimic this reality with the vanishing effect of its display.
