British company Mac Motorcycles has announced four new café racer models that will soon go on sale in North America and Europe with prices ranging from $12,700 to $16,000. All racers have cues of retro styling, without actually going retro full scale. Power for the motorcycles comes from a single cylinder 500cc engine that outputs 34bhp. Tuning options available for the motorcycles can take the power output to 50bhp.
Going to the airport,..yay!
Shizo Kanakuri disappeared while running the marathon in the 1912 Summer Olympics in Stockholm. He was listed as a missing person in Sweden for 50 years — until a journalist found him living placidly in southern Japan.
Overcome with heat during the race, he had stopped at a garden party to drink orange juice, stayed for an hour, then took a train to a hotel and sailed home the next day, too ashamed to tell anyone he was leaving.
There’s a happy ending: In 1966 Kanakuri accepted an invitation to return to Stockholm and complete his run. His final time was 54 years, 8 months, 6 days, 8 hours, 32 minutes and 20.3 seconds — surely a record that will never be broken.
