End of Year



Anche questo vecchio anno sta andando via per fare posto al nuovo anno , lui bello nuovo e pimpante pronto a dare del gran gas.
Non so voi ma io questo anno che sta per finire mi è scivolato come il velluto , tante soddisfazioni personali e professionali ma che però ha lasciato tanti capelli bianchi...sono davvero tanti , e con la mia abitudine di portare la coppola mi sento un pò come il vecchietto che sta andando via e non come il giovane rider pronto a salire in sella alla sua moto . 
Ma questi sentimentalismi non sono fatti per noi che siamo sempre giovani perchè dentro ci brucia sempre il sacro fuoco della passione per i motori e quindi vi faccio gli auguri di un nuovo anno sperando che ci porti nuova energia e voglia di fare .
Il RocketGarage vi terrà compagnia anche il prossimo anno cosi come lo ha fatto in questi anni si dal 2007 . con moto da sparo e belle donne , quindi non vi allontanate e restate sintonizzati .

Awas, Cairan Setan Mengincar Kendaraan Anda

modus pencurian dengan cairan setan

Sekedar informasi bagi pemilik kendaraan bermotor yang sering parkir ditempat umum ataupun di tempat lainnya agar lebih waspada, pasalnya baru-baru ini ditemukan modus pencurian sepeda motor dengan model baru, bukan lagi menggunakan kunci leter T melainkan menggunakan sejenis zat kimia atau yang sering disebut “Cairan Setan”.

Dalam modus ini, para pelaku akan menaruh zat kimia atau cairan setan ini dalam wadah seperti botol suntikan, sehingga tidak akan menimbulkan kecurigaan saat beraksi. Dalam beraksi, pelaku hanya menyemprotkan cairan setan tersebut pada rumah kontak pada motor, yang dalam sekejap rumah kontak tersebut akan leleh sehingga bisa dimasuki kunci motor biasa.

Untuk menghindari modus pencurian motor dengan cairan setan ini, disarankan para pemilik motor memberikan pengaman tambahan pada kendaraannya, salah satunya adalah dengan memberikan kunci pengaman ganda kalau perlu kasih alarm pada kendaraan anda sebagai alternatif lain.

Pencegahan :
  1. Parkir kendaraan anda di tempat yang aman dengan pengamanan yang ekstra.seperti cek STNK saat motor keluar dari area parkir.
  2. Parkir kendaraan anda ditempat ramai.
  3. Tambahkan alarm pada motor anda sebagai pengamanan ganda.
  4. Pakai kunci ganda atau gunakan gembok yang berkualitas, yang tahan zat kimia cairan setan

Bonhams - Barry Sheene, Gary Nixon, ‘Tepi’ Lansivouri

It was nice having you around
let's meet in 21000410
Be safe tonight
 
Zoran found the perfect safety gear for New Years Eve on Bonhams
 
Lot 244Ω
Barry Sheene - A Bell racing helmet,
Sold for £5,520 (€6,599) inc. premium 
 
Barry Sheene - A Bell racing helmet,
in black, red and gold with applied number ‘7’, ‘Bell’ and ‘Anderstorp Racing Club’ logos. Decorated with trademark ‘Donald Duck’ emblem and ‘Barry Sheene’ lettering, tinted visor, Barry Sheene’s trademark cigarette hole, applied SHCA certified sticker number 1372063, race worn with evidence of crash damage and loss to interior.

The first helmet to carry his famous number '7', Barry presented it to Merv Wright in 1975 as being the one he wore in his infamous Daytona crash. Recent research, however, suggests that he actually wore it during the 1974 Daytona 200 and subsequent season. He also wore it during the 1974 Swedish Grand Prix where he had a spectacular spill - in the rain - also taking out Giacomo Agostini, thus gathering the ‘scars’ on this helmet. Note Barry’s trademark ‘fag’ hole in the chin-bar. As a dedicated smoker, he usually had his last minute ‘puff’ on the starting line. At the 30-second warning he threw out the cigarette and then quickly covered the hole with a piece of duct-tape kept on the fuel tank.
 
 
Lot 247Ω
Gary Nixon - A Bell racing helmet,
Sold for £920 (€1,099) inc. premium 
 
Gary Nixon - A Bell racing helmet,
in white and blue with applied number ‘9’ and ‘Bell’ logos, SHCA certified sticker number 4040375, clear visor, race worn with evidence of crash damage. Gary Nixon was a US Suzuki teamster for 1974/75 and close friend of Barry Sheene’s for almost 30 years. He was wearing this helmet when he suffered an horrendous crash at the Suzuki factory test track in 1974. Gary was testing a new XR14 (RG500) – arranged by Barry Sheene – with a view towards participating in the World Championship series in 1975. Following a sudden seizure of the engine, Gary crashed and was unavoidably run-over by factory test-rider Ken Araoka. The obvious tyre mark, on the front of the helmet, is from Araoka’s bike. Gary’s injuries – documented in Barry’s 1975 Daytona crash video – essentially ended his long and illustrious professional career, although he is still competing today. This helmet was given to Merv Wright by Gary in 1974.




Lot 245AΩ
‘Tepi’ Lansivouri - A Boeri Sport/Bell racing helmet,
Sold for £632 (€756) inc. premium 
 
‘Tepi’ Lansivouri - A Boeri Sport/Bell racing helmet,
in blue and red with applied ‘Marlboro’ and ‘Boeri Sport’ logos, plaster gauze patch to the top, applied SHCA certified sticker number 2091298, race worn.

This is the helmet of Finnish rider Teuvo ‘Tepi’ Lansivouri, close friend and fellow countryman of the late, great Jarno Saarinen. After numerous victories in various classes of World Championship races in 1972/73/74, Tepi was teamed with Barry Sheene on factory Suzukis in 1975. He also joined Sheene and Nixon on the US Suzuki team for the same year. Following Barry’s spectacular Daytona crash during practice and Gary Nixon’s withdrawal from the race, due to his lingering injuries from his factory testing crash, Tepi was left holding the fort for the big event. From 1st off the line ‘Tepi’ was in the lead at his first scheduled pit stop, which became a 28-second wait due to a necessary chain adjustment. In an attempt to retake the lead from Agostini, Tepi slid-off without injury in the infield but was unable to restart. This helmet given to Merv Wright by Tepi in 1975.

The Top 2 Tech Sectors For 2014 And Beyond: iShares NASDAQ Biotechnology Index (NASDAQ: IBB), TriQuint Semiconductor Inc. (NASDAQ: TQNT)

There's been a lot of talk about a tech bubble.
Forget about it.
The fact is, there are always parts of every sector that are overvalued and pockets that are undervalued.
The easy story for the talking heads in the financial media is to generalize, inflame and move on. The analysis is usually about as deep as your fingernail.
What I'm here to tell you, is that after huge amounts of research and days of elite conferences and hours of interviews, I know there are two tech sectors that have many glorious days ahead of them, regardless of the silly chatter that you hear from the pundits.
Both of these sectors are just hitting their stride in the "New Economy." This isn't the "old" stuff that you've seen for the past decade or so. These sectors have upgraded their technologies and are taking them to places that no one could anticipate a decade ago. (more)

This Strategy Has Worked Since 1801 and Is a Good Bet for 2014

Individual investors often point to the long-term success of Warren Buffett as proof that value investing works. They are correct, and Buffett is just one example of the many long-term investors who have found success with value investing. While value investing works, many investors fail to succeed with this strategy.

I believe the reason value investing is so difficult to implement is because it is challenging to define exactly what "value" means. Some investors use the price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio and buy when the P/E ratio is low. Others search for stocks with low price-to-sales (P/S) ratio in their hunt for value. In addition to these two tools, there are dozens of other ways to measure value. In the right hands, and with enough time, any disciplined approach to value investing should work in the long term.  (more)

To review Sciences’ stock, please take a look at the 1-year chart of CSC (Computer Sciences Corp.) below with my added notations:
1-year chart of CSC (Computer Sciences Corp.)
After a nice push higher in July, CSC had been bouncing back and forth since August. As the stock found support in the general $50 area, it had also created a strong level of resistance at $54 (blue), which constitutes a 52-week high resistance. A break through that level most likely means higher prices for the stock. As you can see from the chart, CSC finally broke higher last week.

The Tale of the Tape: CSC broke out to a new 52-week high. A long trade could be made at $54 with a stop placed below that level. A break below $54 would negate the forecast for a continued move higher.

Time to buy out of favor ETF’s for 2014?‏: GDXJ, EWZ, TUR

The best time to buy cheap is when you are afraid to bring up your ideas around the water cooler at work for fear of the peer laughter. Our work centers on looking for oversold conditions and crowd behavioral anomalies that can give us better low risk entries with good upside potential. A combination of fundamentals and technical, combined with Elliott Wave Theory patterns can lead to nice profits with low risk.
For just a few quick ideas that would make sense in this area, we point out 3 ETF's that you could look at entering now as they are way out of favor and very oversold.
Gold Stocks: GDXJ
The Junior Miners index is high risk, high reward. However, if you time the entry right at the opportune moment the upside is very high with low downside risk. With GOLD out of favor, we have been pounding the table the last 10 days or so that there are only 4-5 weeks left to buy quality miner names. Instead of picking through them one at a time, you can pick up the high beta play GDJX ETF.
How about Brazil?
Everyone hates Brazil stocks now, but they have some of the most valuable natural resources in the world, and Brazil almost always bounces back strong off bear cycle lows. Here is a way to play the commodity rebound we see in 2014: EWZ ETF
 It's not too late to eat some Turkey: 
The country TURKEY also often is a very volatile play to invest, but going in during very oversold conditions often plays out to the upside for gains later on. ETF TUR is beat up, it's time to buy.

Little-Known Indicator Signals 'Buy' While Investors Are Running Scared

In the 1930s, a financial editor at Forbes magazine pieced together chart patterns. Richard Schabacker, who is considered to be the "father of technical analysis," went beyond identifying how patterns looked on charts. He also looked broadly at investor psychology and noticed that it could explain why some chart patterns form.
Psychology can be a valuable tool for traders to understand. We have made some notes on the chart below that describe the feelings of some investors at various times during the past few years.
SPY Chart
Investor psychology does help explain resistance on a chart, for example. After a bear market, there will be some investors who will be thankful to recover their losses. They might sell when the market gets back to its old highs. This appears as resistance on the charts. After resistance is broken and prices start moving higher, we often see a "market melt up" as investors rush in since they are worried about missing out on the upside. (more)

Vun Rizoma



Dalla collaborazione tra la nota azienda di parti speciali Rizoma e l'azienda Milanese CR&S nasce questa special su base Vun . caratterizzata da molte parti in alluminio , metallo utilizzato spesso dalla Rizoma per creare i suoi prodotti .
la moto è molto bella ancora più esile e leggera come era nei progetti originali di questa moto , il serbatoio diventa un elemento di spicco ancor più visto il codino davvero minimal .
Se devo fare una critica la faccio allo sterzo , non tanto nella foggia ma nella sua finitura , quel blu sembra proprio stonare con tutto il resto , non ha nessun altro elemento che possa richiamare la sua presenza e tento meno giustificare questa scelta cromatica .
Il forcellone posteriore è realizzato da Pierobon, ( ditta specializzata in telai ) le ruote sono Alpina ( Tubless ) mentre radiatore e telaio posteriore sono stati creati exnovo.
Avevo visto tempo fà questa special ma stranamente nessuno se ne è occupato , quindi sulla rete oltre queste non credo troverete altre immagini , ne nel sito dell'azienda motociclistica ne in quella dell'azienda di accessori .....la carta stampata nemmeno a parlarne.
