* The Triumph Trident 660 is a naked motorcycle by manufacturer Triumph Motorcycles Ltd. Following a four-year development program, the Triumph Trident prototype was revealed at the London Design Museum on 25th August 2020. To disguise the final form, the prototype was painted all white except for the engine. A further, less-disguised, and full running prototype was released to the press a few weeks later and shows the motorcycle undergoing final testing.
* Finally, the production version of the Trident was released to the press and journalists on 30th October 2020.
* The Trident is intended to compete in the middleweight sector, and be a rival to the likes of the Yamaha MT-07, Kawasaki Z650, Honda CB650R, and to a lesser extent the Suzuki SV650.

* In April 2015⏳, Bajaj launched the Pulsar RS200, AS150, and AS200 in which 'RS' stood for 'Race Sport' whereas 'AS' stood for 'Adventure Sport'. The RS200 is Bajaj's 🛵first attempt at a fully-faired motorcycle whereas the AS series featured semi-fairing with projector headlamps common among them all.
* The AS200 got the same 199.5cc⚙️, single-cylinder, liquid-cooled engine that also powers the RS200 except for fuel injection. Mated to a 6-speed transmission, this engine churns out a maximum power 💯output of 23.17 PS at 9,500rpm along with a peak torque of 18.3 Nm at 8,000rpm. While the AS200 is based on the 200NS platform, the AS150 is built on a new perimeter frame instead of the standard Pulsar 150 Dtsi.
* The motorcycle 🚴♂derives its power from a 149.5cc, single-cylinder, air-cooled engine⚙️ that, mated to a 5-speed gearbox, produces 16.8bhp at 9,000rpm and 13Nm at 7,500rpm. The RS200 makes a slightly higher power output at 24.5PS🔧 that peaks out (compared to the AS200) at 9,750rpm and 18.6 Nm torque at 8000 rpm owing to its fuel injection. In late 2015 Bajaj had come up with the dual-tone design, especially for Pulsar 220 Fighter bikes, which was later discontinued for certain colors.

* Astronomer👨🚀 Fred Hoyle was the first to point out that if you could drive a car🚗 upwards at 95km/h (60mph), it would only take about an hour to get into space ☄️.
* To get to the Moon🌜 would take a little longer though since it’s 400,000km (250,000 miles) away – around 10 times the circumference of the Earth. So it would take as long as driving around the world 10 times – just under six months.

* The track, built on the roof of a Fiat factory that opened in Turin's Ligotto district in 1923⏳. The factory's assembly line began at the ground floor and ended on the top level, where cars were taken for a test run around the track. Spiraling ramps inside the building allowed the cars🚘 to be driven back down and into showrooms.
* The factory closed in 1982⏳, after which Fiat held a competition for its redevelopment. Architect Renzo Piano, whose work includes the New York Times building, and London's "vertical city," the Shard, secured the commission. His workshop transformed the old factory into a public space complete with a shopping center, theater, hotel, convention center, and art gallery. A helipad and bubble-shaped, blue glass meeting room were added to the roof to cater to business travelers with big expense accounts.
* You can still visit the rooftop test track, but the days of Fiat cars🚗 looping around the course are gone. If you can't shake the urge to race around a circle, head downstairs to the speed skating rink, which was built for the 2006⏳ Turin Winter Olympics.

* How many bikes🚴♂ can you fit in the space occupied by a single car🚘? Never thought about it? The creators of the Car Bike Rack, CycleHoop, did and they developed a car-shaped bike rack to prove the point.
* Originally commissioned by the London Festival of Architecture, the bright-colored bike racks raise awareness and encourage the use of non-motorized transport by converting car parking spaces into parking docks for 10 bicycles🚴♂. Besides the functional purpose they serve cyclists, the car-shaped racks humorously convey a serious message, explained the British company.

* One University of Minnesota study found that driving is one of the ways guys assert their masculinity, for better or for worse. Taking the wheel also helps men feel more in control over their destinies. And buying that first car is still seen as something of a manly milestone, even though nearly everyone in the United States relies on a car or a truck to get from place to place.
* Another study out of the UK found that only men get a measurable self-esteem boost from car ownership — and that the boost gets bigger as the value of the car in question goes up.
