Su consiglio del Maestro Roberto Totti che ho incontrato venerdi sera alla festa Mr Martini , discutendo di cafe racer dal gusto classico mi raccontato di una splendida Norvin CR 1000 con dei fantastici freni a tamburo a 8 camme .
27 Jan 2014
Der Traktor
Rivelazione di quest'anno sono stati i ragazzi di Officine Sbrannetti , nel giro di 9 mesi sono passati da zero a essere sotto le luci della ribalta e lo hanno fatto con una moto che pur non essendo un cafe racer di quelle che piacciono a noi , la Der Traktor .
Un BMW GS che hanno spogliato e modificato ispirandosi ad un trattore , uno di quelli capaci di arare i campi e anche la moto dà quest'impressione .
Il serbatoio è stato sostituito con quello di una Yamaha Tenere modificato e adattato come modificato è il telaio nella parte posteriore . Altri particolari arrivano sempre dal mezzo agricolo completando la loro personale visione di questa scrambler possente .
Spero che questo sia il primo di tanti successi e il loro stile di caratterizzi cosi da far diventare i prossimi lavori subito identificabili con la loro officina
Fiat/Chrysler finalise merger with merged conference call on sales and ernings
Fiat and Chrysler will for the first time hold a single conference call on their annual results on Wednesday as the two companies finalize a merger that will create the world's seventh-largest auto group.
Fiat said on Jan. 1 that it had struck a $4.35 billion deal to gain full control of Chrysler by buying the remaining 41.46 percent stake that it did not own in the U.S. carmaker from the United Auto Workers VEBA Trust.
The move was the last step needed before the Italian and U.S. carmakers can merge allowing Sergio Marchionne, who heads both companies, to combine their resources as he seeks to cut losses in Europe.
Full ownership of Chrysler enables Marchionne to create a global industry player with better scale to challenge General Motors Co. and Volkswagen Group. He has tried since taking the helm at Fiat in 2004 to buy a competitor to give the struggling Italian manufacturer a worldwide market strategy for growth.
Merging the two companies will allow Fiat to pool cash with Chrysler and tighten cooperation between its Alfa Romeo, Lancia and Maserati brands with Chrysler, Dodge and Jeep.
The 2013 results' conference call will be held at 15:00 CET, Fiat said in a statement on Monday.

GM plans for new Opel model to be built on Germany.
General Motors Co. is sticking to plans for its Opel unit to build an all-new vehicle at the brand's main plant in Germany as part of an effort to restore earnings in Europe, CEO Mary Barra said.
Opel is "clearly a vital part of the company," Barra, 52, told journalists today at the division's headquarters in the Frankfurt suburb of Ruesselsheim.
Barra said the company will not release details about the new model yet for competitive reasons.
Opel said on Dec. 12 that the Ruesselsheim plant, which makes the Insignia mid-sized car and is scheduled to start building the Zafira Tourer van in 2015, will be assigned a new model whose details will be disclosed later.
Production of the new vehicle will "go hand-in-hand" with additional spending in Germany, Barra said, adding that she's "very pleased with Opel's progress so far."
Barra, the first female CEO of a global automaker, is making her first trip outside the U.S. since succeeding Dan Akerson as head of GM on Jan. 15. Barra was head of product development under Akerson.
"I thought it was very important to reinforce in person my commitment, and GM's commitment, to Opel. I'm confident that we can achieve our goal to break-even in Europe by mid-decade," Barra said in a statement.
In April 2013, GM said it would invest 4 billion euros ($5.5 billion) to fund 23 new models and 13 new engines by 2016 to overhaul Opel's aging product range.
Opel CEO Karl-Thomas Neumann said Barra's decision to choose Opel as the first GM location to visit outside the company's Detroit headquarters reinforced the importance of the unit to GM.
Barra today met with Opel employees, toured the assembly plant and visited Opel's technical development center.
European sales by Opel and sister brand Vauxhall last year fell 1.5 percent to 825,000 vehicles, according to industry group ACEA. Their market share remained steady at 6.7 percent, making them together the third-biggest automotive marque in Europe, after the namesake brand of Volkswagen AG and Ford Motor Co.
GM decided in December to pull Chevrolet out of Europe, reversing a decade-old sales effort to promote the U.S. nameplate in the region, to give Opel more scope to expand. Opel will shut its car plant in Bochum, Germany, by the end of this year, the first automotive assembly plant to close in the country since World War I.
Barra visited Ruesselsheim with GM's new president, Dan Ammann, who has been nominated to succeed Steve Girsky as chairman Opel's supervisory board. Girsky, GM's former vice chairman, has led the supervisory board since November 2011.

A Royal birthday for Renault's ZOE.
- One year after its launch in December 2012, ZOE blew out its first candle at the Château de Versailles, Renault’s partner location.
- More than forty lucky owners will gather in the low gallery at Versailles, to talk about their experience with ZOE and conduct a first appraisal.
- Named by EuroNCAP as the best supermini ZOE has already sold 10,000 units and has more surprises in store as we move into 2014…
An exceptional location for an exceptional car… The flagship vehicle in the Renault Z.E. range, ZOE is opening the gates of the Château de Versailles to celebrate its first birthday.
Following the partnership agreement signed by Renault and the Château de Versailles on July 29, 2013, almost 23 electric cars (10 Twizy, 10 Kangoo ZE, 3 ZOE) are used by employees (security guards for Versailles and Marly, gardeners, administration….). Thirty charging stations have been installed in the grounds. This partnership protects the environment of the gardens, and contributes to the comfort and safety of the 12 million annual visitors.
ZOE drivers are its best spokespeople. For this first anniversary, Renault received a huge and enthusiastic response when it invited owners to come and talk about their car and their experience with ZOE. Many believe that simply test driving an electric car is enough to make anybody want one: 98% of ZOE owners are satisfied and 97% would recommend it. Alongside driving pleasure, customers appreciate the comfort offered by ZOE: no noise, no vibrations and smooth acceleration (no gear shift).
In terms of safety, ZOE meets the highest standards. It was recently named “Best Electric Vehicle of 2013” by Euro NCAP, the independent test organization.
For Benoist, 50 years old, a doctor who loves new technologies, his car gives him a more relaxed approach to life: “I took delivery of ZOE, my first new car, just over a month ago, and I love it. The fact that it’s so smooth and quiet makes it really comfortable to drive. And it’s funny to see how ZOE attracts looks and smiles from people who are clearly intrigued by electric cars”.
Renault is a pioneer and leader on the electric vehicle market in Europe, with market share of over 40% and already 10,000 ZOE vehicles sold to date. With many other manufacturers now starting to build electric cars, Renault already has a full line-up of electric vehicles and remains well ahead of the field.
Starting 2014 with good news, for consumers buying a new ZOE, Renault is launching “ZOE Access”, a new battery rental service from €49/month, targeting drivers with low mileage.
Peugeot to launch its new concept at Beijing in April.
- PEUGEOT will unveil a new concept car as a world first at the next Beijing International Automobile Exhibition, which takes place between 20 and 29 April.
- From the same lineage as the Onyx Concept Car, it is a tease of the Brand’s future design.
With a length of 4.73m and a height of 1.31m, this concept offers athletic and refined styling for four passengers and their luggage. Special craftsmanship with original materials forms part of the PEUGEOT Style approach, first used on the Onyx Concept, and which becomes a direction for the Brand’s future vehicles.
As part of the opening evening for the International Automobile Festival, Tribute to Sensations in Paris, an original and ephemeral installation will reveal the shapes of this concept. Then from 29 January to 2 February, at the foot of the Dôme des Invalides, the public will be able to re-discover the PEUGEOT Onyx, 308 R Concept, the 208 T16 Pikes Peak as well as a 908 HDi with particulate filter.
The International Automobile Festival is staged at the Dôme des Invalides, Paris, from 29 January to 2 February 2014.
Chinese brand BYD brings a fleet of pure electric cars to London.
BYD, which is bringing its range of pure electric private hire vehicles to Europe, has teamed up with Thriev to provide 20 BYD e6 cars to the company’s emission-free London chauffeur-driven fleet within the next few weeks.
Last month, the Mayor of London announced that from 1 January 2018, all new taxis would have to be zero-emission capable in order to gain an operating licence. Today’s announcement means that the London private hire market is four years ahead of that development.
Thriev (www.thriev.com) offers low-cost, zero-emission, chauffeured cars to corporate and private users in London. The company is rolling out an electric car programme complete with its own rapid chargers, cars and state-of-the-art car/charger scheduling systems. Part of the deal with BYD is that Thriev will equip its facility at Edgware Road, west London, with BYD’s purpose-designed charging equipment, which allows fast charging of the e6 in just two hours.
Initially, the e6 fleet is being supplied on a lease arrangement, although both BYD and Thriev expect this to be the beginning of a long-term relationship that will go some way to fulfilling a joint BYD and Thriev vision of a ‘green city solution’ – the transitioning of key public and personal transport vehicles from petrol and diesel power to pure electric. In December, two fully-electric, full-size buses operated by Go-Ahead Group, entered service on two central Transport for London routes – part of a Europe-wide initiative to introduce emissions-free BYD buses to major city centre operations.
Both the e6 car and ebus from BYD share the same proven and reliable electric technology. They use BYD lithium iron Fe batteries, which have been proven in millions of miles of taxi and bus passenger-carrying service in China as well as many parts of the world.
Commenting on the agreement with Thriev, Isbrand Ho, BYD Europe’s Managing Director, said: “We have been looking at various options to bring our e6 and its proven emissions-free technology to London. We are convinced that in Thriev we have found the right partner to do this – we share many of the same objectives of providing safe, reliable and efficient green transport in cities”.
Arvind Vij, CEO and a co-founder of Thriev said: “We think that BYD’s e6 model meets our requirements to offer passenger comfort, good range and rapid charging. We share BYD’s desire to provide practical, zero-emission solutions and look forward to a long-term partnership.”

Vauxhall Motors has launched a limited edition of 250 ADAMs creating even more levels of personalisation for the urban chic city car. The ADAM Black Edition and ADAM White Edition take their design cues from a smartphone, encompassing optimal connectivity and a sleek and stylish feel.
The Vauxhall ADAM is the best connected small car in its segment and the new ADAM Black Edition and ADAM White Edition come with Vauxhall’s IntelliLink infotainment system and Siri Eyes Free voice control fitted as standard. They reflect typical smartphone looks in black or white, with accents in brushed aluminium effect.
“The ADAM Black Edition and ADAM White Edition models resemble sophisticated smartphones on wheels,” says Duncan Aldred, Chairman and Managing Director, Vauxhall Motors. “The ADAM combines innovative technologies with countless personalisation possibilities which are not available in its segment. With these new models, our urban chic city car once again shows that it is the best connected small car and a true individualisation champion all wrapped up in one.”
ADAM drivers who have an iOS 6 – or later – compatible iPhone can comfortably and safely activate the Siri Eyes Free function via steering wheel controls and operate it with voice commands while keeping their hands on the wheel and their eyes on the road.

The rest of the exterior carries a brushed, aluminum-look including the side mirror housings, and grille bar carrying the Vauxhall logo. In addition, there are tinted rear windows and 18-inch wheels in a Twister design with matching brushed aluminium finish wheel clips. The black or white lacquered standard roof spoiler, as well as the characteristically shaped headlamps with LED daytime running lights and LED rear lights ensure the car stand-outs amongst its rivals. The sport chassis provides plenty of driving fun with its direct response and sports pedals.
Inside the cabin, the seats, instruments and applications continue the exterior colour scheme. In the ADAM Black Edition, all occupants enjoy the comfort of Ocio Black Morrocana seat trim cushions. While the centre console and instrument panel are piano black, the door trims, glove box, leather gear knob and handbrake handle are in contrasting bright white. The counterpart to this is the ADAM White Edition version, with its own colour scheme: the seats are Ocio White Morrocana also mirrored in the instrument panel and centre console.
The ADAM Black Edition and ADAM White Edition is priced at £14,995 (1.4 87PS), available across the UK. For further information please visit http://www.vauxhall.co.uk/vehicles/vauxhall-range/cars/adam/black-and-white/adam-white-black-edition.html

Honda leans toward 2 motors for next Civic Hybrid
 |
| The two-motor hybrid system that debuted in the new Honda Accord Hybrid is more powerful and fuel efficient than Honda's one-motor system. |
TOKYO -- Honda Motor Co. has a new and greatly improved one-motor hybrid system for small cars. But engineers for the next Civic are leaning toward the more powerful and fuel-efficient two-motor system that debuted in the mid-sized Accord Hybrid that went on sale last fall.
Honda has not said what kind of gasoline-electric drivetrain the next-generation Civic Hybrid, expected around 2016, will get. But Hiromitsu Ishibashi, chief engineer for the one-motor system at Honda R&D Co., said engineers are considering the two-motor layout.
Honda has doubts about how the one-motor system's dual-clutch transmission will be accepted in America, Ishibashi said on the sidelines of Automotive World, an annual technical conference here. And the two-motor system would deliver better fuel economy.
The newly developed one-motor system, deployed in the Fit hatchback and the Fit-based Vezel subcompact crossover, pairs a 1.5-liter engine with an electric motor with a dual-clutch transmission.
Hybrid versions of both cars already are on sale in Japan, but there are no current plans to bring the gasoline-electric versions to the United States.
The two-motor Accord Hybrid uses a continuously variable transmission.
'Customers don't care'
"U.S. customers don't care that much about which system [they get], as long as fuel economy and drivability are good," Ishibashi said. "Also, DCTs have not been that well received."Honda's two-motor system is capable of delivering better fuel economy than the one-motor system because it allows for longer electric-only driving. The Accord Hybrid has a 50-mpg city rating, better than any other mid-sized sedan. The downside: added cost.
Ishibashi said engineers are still evaluating which system would work best in the Civic but added: "My personal guess is it could be two motors."
Honda said in November it will replace step-geared automatic transmissions with CVTs in all automatic Civics starting with this year's freshening of the nameplate.
The company has not officially said when a re-engineered hybrid will arrive. The current version uses Honda's Integrated Motor Assist system, a one-motor technology often criticized for falling short in fuel economy and power. It achieves a combined city-highway 44 mpg rating.
Honda has been wrestling with what powertrain to use in the Civic Hybrid, partly to make it a tougher competitor of the Toyota Prius, which gets a combined city-highway 50 mpg rating.
Honda engineers have said in the past that one option might be two types of two-motor systems: a more expensive one for the Accord and a lower-cost version for the Civic.
Gains
Even if Honda goes with a one-motor system, it would still bring gains.The new one-motor system, dubbed Sport Hybrid Intelligent Dual-Clutch Drive, delivers across-the-board improvements over the outgoing system.
For the redesigned Fit Hybrid that debuted last year in Japan, Honda switched to a lithium ion battery, from a nickel-metal hydride one, boosting energy capacity 50 percent. Power output was more than doubled to 22 kilowatts, from 10. Engineers also made the battery 23 percent smaller and more than doubled the torque to 118 pounds-feet, from 58.
Honda also slashed the weight of the intelligent power unit, which includes the battery, inverter, DC/DC converter and battery control unit, by 40 percent.
The Fit Hybrid also gets a new Atkinson's cycle 1.5-liter engine.
Why Honda Edited Out Scenes Of Detroit Protesters From This New Ad
by Aaron Taube of www.businessinsider.com
Good morning, AdLand. Here's what you need to know today:
Honda edited a new version of a recent, optimistic ad from RPA to remove images of people protesting in front of the Detroit federal courthouse that is hearing the city's bankruptcy proceedings. Rev. Charles Williams II, the head of the Michigan chapter of civil rights group the National Action Network and one of the leaders of the protests, summed up Detroit's anger at the original ad as such: "They're using our pain for their pleasure to promote Japanese automobiles while we are suffering in part because of the decline of American automobiles from foreign automakers." So Honda cut the protest scene.

My Motor Bike Expo
Anche quest'anno come mia tradizione sono andato a Verona per il Motor Bike expo , sia perchè ero partner dell'evento che collaboratore della rivista Cafe Racer Italia .
La fiera è stancante per tutti sia per chi la organizza e per chi la vive per tutto il week end ma è un'appuntamento sempre bello, ci si incontra tra vecchie amici e si ha la possibilità di parlare e conosce appassionati e lettori ...siete davvero tanti e mi scuso con quelli che non ho avuto il piacere di incontrare .
Lo stand più bello ? quello di Cafe Racer Italia ..chevelodicoafare! dove si è svolto il contest alla presenza delle telecamere di Dinamica Channel
Dei risultati hanno già parlato tutti i guerrieri della tastiera , perchè come nel calcio noi siamo un popolo di commissari tecnici e molte volte non sbagliando del tutto nel loro giudizio.
A me ha fatto impressione vedere che le moto in concorso per buona parte erano state già presenti nel mio blog , è come se quello che avevo scritto e pubblicato fosse diventato reale .
Io ho fatto il giudice in passato per altre riviste e vi posso dire che non è un lavoro ne semplice ne comodo e sono contento di non ave avuto questa incombenza .
Questo contest ha avuto il merito di dare visibilità ai Rookie , gente appassionata giovani e meno giovani che si affacciano in questo mondo .
I risultati sono un pò come il festival di Sanremo dove non sempre chi vince ha riscontro dal pubblico e chi invece non è arrivato tra i primi poi riesce a vendere tantissimo.
Ringrazio Nico Mcqueen per le foto , ma lo devo rimproverare perchè non mi è venuto a salutare .
