      Bullz-Eye reviews the 2011 Harley-Davidson Blackline

      August 12, 2011 /

      Harley-Davidson Blackline.

      Our friends at Bullz-Eye are into more than just cars. They’ve recently had a chance to cruise around on the 2011 Harley Davidson Blackline. The Blackline is Harley Davidson’s newest addition to the Dark Custom lineup of bikes, a line launched to appeal to some of the younger riders out there.

      Here’s an excerpt from the review:

      When you first sit on the bike you really notice how low you actually sit. Luckily the seat is comfortable and wide, like sitting in a very large catcher’s mitt. Then, because of the pulled forward bars, you have a bit of a hunched posture. You reach down and notice the key slot is shaped and textured like a hand grenade, which is oddly appropriate for the sound you unleash after putting your key in there and flipping the bike on.

      Two cranks of the engine and then the fury is unleashed. The resulting sound washes over your body a power chord ripped through a Marshall stack. Time seems to stop, people look, and the engine settles into its traditional rhythm. It doesn’t sound overstressed in the slightest, but a twist of the throttle lets you know that this motor is a sleeping giant.

      Bullz-Eye reviews the Lexus GS 450h

      August 11, 2011 /

      Lexus GS 450h.

      For some time now, hybrid cars have meant great things for the environment but terrible things for the driver. Let’s face, hybrids are boring, unless you like watching a battery charge. Fun!

      The Lexus GS 450h is a welcome departure from that paradigm. Bullz-Eye recently had a chance to drive one of these beautiful machines – here’s an excerpt from the review:

      There is no mistaking that the 2011 Lexus GS 450h 4DR Sedan is a hybrid and we welcome this technology in such an incredible car. Our test model delivered V8 power in a neatly wrapped hybrid package, delivering solid fuel efficiency. The already quiet ride of the Lexus GS is now enhanced when driving in electric mode. Choose between sport or normal driving knowing full well that the sport drive takes off like a rocket. With the 2011 Lexus GS 450h 4DR Sedan being a full hybrid, it’s capable of operating in gas-only or electric-only modes, or a combination of the two. The GS 450h was the first hybrid vehicle to enable the electric drive motor to contribute to highway performance, not just slow-speed driving. Our media car boasted a 3.5-liter, four cam, 24 valve V-6 engine with dual variable valve time and electric drive motor with Lexus Hybrid drive. You clearly don’t feel any gear shifting, mainly because of the electronically controlled continuously variable transmission with 2-speed reduction and snow mode.

      The Hipster Moustache Is BACK

      August 8, 2011 /

       

      Reports out of Chicago have indicated the “Hipster Moustache” is BACK. People who don’t even know who Rollie Fingers is are biting his style at unprecedented levels. Young white males have been swallowed up in a trend of El Nino proportions.

      If you feel something scrape against your shoulder, car, bed, etc., DON’T turn around; the “Hipster Moustache” thrives on eye to eye contact and sees it as a challenge. Instead, stand completely still and let the “Hipster Moustache” pass, on its way to get another tattoo of a toaster, or dripping ice cream cone or something else that makes no sense whatsoever and will only be regretted later.

      Moss’ Hair Added To His Legacy

      August 6, 2011 /

      For all that Randy Moss contributed on the field with his freakish ways, his blasé attitude and penchant for sound bites, his sweet hairstyles were equally important. He did for hairstyles what Dennis Rodman did for tattoos.

      Before Moss, cornrows were largely unheard of and were considered “thugged out” exclusively. Which is what him wearing them while he played for Marshall after getting kicked out of Florida State and Notre Dame made them so awesome; he didn’t care and never did.

      After getting drafted lower than he should have, he shaved them off and had the best rookie year for a wide receiver ever, all while rocking a business like fade.

      Once he’d established himself as the best WR in the game, he grew an afro and left it unkempt. Which was his style when he “mooned” Packer fans in the playoffs.

      From then on, it was combination cornrows/braids to the end. And how do you pay for those, Randy? “Straight cash, homey.”
