It is a project of retired Dutch steelworker Roel van der Heide, who is also the brains behind the Chiqane motorcycles. This new project has been dubbed the Zeppelin Boardtracker. It is a most interesting concept! Take a look...

Dymag Racing UK in Bankruptcy? It Seems So

I have not seen a single blurb anywhere about this, but this posting seems to make it perfectly clear. Dymag - makers of some wonderful motorcycle wheels - has gone bankrupt and is selling off their equipment. I do not know why this news would be missed by the larger publications as it seems pretty major. After all, their products are everywhere and used by many people. They were also the first company to produce a magnesium motorcycle racing wheel. I hope this is just some mistake...
