Looks cool, but it would probably leak all over my desk. | ||

I got one, my brother sent it to me. Works great. On the back side is a kickstarter and a shift lever. Press the kick starter and the thing makes noises much like a Triumph starting and the cylinders move up and down (I know, not true to life!). Press the shift lever and it makes a motoring away sound that sounds a lot like my first motorcycle. A 1958 Triumph 650cc Thunderbird twin. You can see and hear it here: http://www.akihabaranews.com/en/news-14216-Akihaba ra+News+Exclusive%21+The+New+SolidAlliance+USB+Eng ine+Hub+%21.html And it is the first Triumph I have ever owned that did not have a puddle of oil under it. But in all fairness, the great majority of oil leaks on my '58 were from the constant loss chain oiler that used the oil in the primary as a source of supply. If I closed the needle valve to shut off the oil supply, it did not leak. Jack | ||

I've considered getting one for my brother since he has a triumph chopper, but I wasn't sure it would be of high enough quality to be of real use. I may have to get one for him now. | ||

It's a good enough hub, three ports and USB 2.0 throughput as long as you can plug it into a USB 2.0 port. Jack | ||

it's funny what a "search" will find  IN ACTION | ||

I don't know what's worse, that someone thought up that dog, or that someone else agreed to produce it, obviously thinking "A million people are going to want one of these!" |
