Harley Davidson Fat Boy small-scale model

By Alison

If you’re a lover of model motorcycles, and you’re serious about Harley Davidson, you’d probably manage to complete this enterprise, though we feel we’d lose patience. This Fat Boy FLSTF is available as a 1:4 scale model, complete with real leather seat, horn and working lights. And when you turn the key, you can hear the original engine.

The only problem is that this model can be collected over 77 instalments, meaning it becomes a long and costly exercise. The first instalment, for example, costs only five euros, while the second costs 11. But if any Harley fan and model motorcycle collector manage to complete the model, let us know!

Video: Evel Knievel, back to the 70's

By koen

This is really fun, whatever your age, you know Evel Knievel for sure. It’s not new, it’s from before though you might have bought the Evel Knievel toys for your children (or for yourself…?).

Evel Knievel on New Year’s Eve, 1967 jumped his motorcycle 151 feet over the fountains at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas. 15.000 people watched live as he missed the landing and took the most torturous trip over asphalt and concrete a human body has ever endured. Millions more watched it later on television. A legend was born.
