California Motorcycle Shop Created Tom Cruise's 'Oblivion' Bike

  Moviegoers and movie critics have come away from "Oblivion" raving about the vavoom vehicles in the box-office hit starring Tom Cruise -- especially lead character Jack's futuristic folding motocross bike. Known on the set as "Jack's moto bike," the wispy ghost-white bike wheelies its way across a landscape of desert salt flats -- actually, volcanic sand in Iceland -- and transports the hero into and out of trouble throughout director Joseph Kosinski's dystopian film. The "moto bike," though, was a Honda CRF450X before local motorcycle-fabricator-to-the-stars Justin Kell started transforming it. Kell, whose Glory Motor Works has built or restored bikes for "The Master," "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button" and "G.I. Joe 2," among many others, said his company ...

Harley Restructuring Credited For Savings

Harley-Davidson Inc. has realized several hundred million dollars in cost savings since it implemented a massive restructuring less than four years ago, executives said Saturday at the annual shareholders meeting. This year the company expects savings of about $305 million, from changes it initiated since 2009, and rising to annual ongoing savings of about $320 million beginning in 2014. The changes, including a new manufacturing system at Harley's factory in York, Pa., are boosting the company's profits and making it more agile as it builds motorcycles closer to market demand. They've also come at a price to the workforce, including hundreds of York employees who lost their jobs when Harley outsourced work such as metal plating and stampings. "I would ...

NYPD Loses Evidence In Stolen Motorcycles Case

Sloppy cop work has undermined a high-profile stolen motorcycle case for the second time in less than a year, the Daily News has learned. The NYPD’s Auto Crimes Division and Technical Assistance Response Unit wiped two surveillance videos — the only copies available — and apparently failed even to record two other meetings between undercover cops and suspects, according to criminal court proceedings last week. The missing evidence is the second embarrassing gaffe to result from the 17-month investigation into gun trafficking and the theft and resale of 63 bikes valued at about $500,000. About a month after Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly and Manhattan District Attorney Cy Vance Jr. announced last July’s takedown, seven high-performance bikes that had been seized ...

103 Year Old Motorcycle Club Still Kicking In New York

  Few clubs would want their headquarters in the Willets Point section of Queens, a massive, muddy cluster of auto repair shacks — but the Queensboro Motorcycle Club is perfectly happy wedged in there among the junkyards and salvage shops. “It’s sort of like a bunch of kids with a clubhouse in the weeds somewhere,” said Victor Crozzoli, 55, a 35-year member. “We can rev our engines — I mean, we could shoot off fireworks — and there’s nobody around to complain.” At 103 years old, Queensboro is perhaps the oldest motorcycle club in New York City. For more than 70 of those years, its home has been the modest clubhouse on the parcel it owns on 34th Avenue, a ...

Nevada Riders Soon Allowed To Split Lanes?

  Nevada lawmakers considered a measure Friday that would allow motorcyclists to skip traffic jams by driving between the lanes — as long as they're careful. Assemblyman Skip Daly, D-Sparks, presented AB236 to members of the Senate transportation committee as a safety bill. "When you have the ability to do lane splitting, it increases the statistics about the safety of the road," Daly said. It also addresses overheating problems because many motorcycles are air-cooled and don't do well idling in traffic when it's hot outside, a particular concern for riders in southern Nevada, he added. The same is true for the riders who often wear heavy leather for safety. The bill allows motorcyclists to drive up to 10 mph faster than slow-moving traffic, and ...
