Turbospoke Bicycle Exhaust System

http://www.vat19.com/item/turbospoke-bicycle-exhaust-system

Make nearly any bicycle look and sound like a growling motorbike with the TurboSpoke Bicycle Exhaust System.

With installation taking less than five minutes, the TurboSpoke utilizes durable "Motocards" and an effective clamping and amplification system to make your bike roar like a four stroke engine.

Each TurboSpoke comes equipped with three waterproof Motocards, which each produce a different engine sound when struck by the spokes of your bicycle. The lightweight and durable exhaust "pipe" acts like a horn to increase the volume produced by the Motocard.

Includes 15 stickers to decorate the TurboSpoke. Installation requires an allen wrench which is included. Motocard refill packs are available.

GOODWOOD + MERCEDES BENZ + Gerry Judah

GOODWOOD + MERCEDES + Gerry Judah

Text from Gerry Judah's web:

Mercedes-Benz can trace its motorsport origins back through three centuries, to 1894, when Daimler engines powered the world’s first winners on the rough roads of France. It’s appropriate then, that the 2014 sculpture at Goodwood Festival of Speed represents that enormous span through thirteen decades. Soaring 26 metres over Goodwood House, this 160-tonne steel sculpture is 90 metres long and was created by artist Gerry Judah.
It was 80 years ago when the legend of the German racing “Silver Arrows” was born. Stripped of their lead-based white paint, the 1934 Mercedes-Benz W25 – like the example installed here - won at its first outing at the notorious Nürburgring Nordschleife, with Manfred von Brauchitsch at the wheel – and since then, the company’s works cars have always been silver. The other Silver Arrow soaring overhead is the MERCEDES AMG PETRONAS Formula One Team’s F1 W04. This car, chassis number 04, was raced in 15 Grands Prix in 2013 by Lewis Hamilton, most notably to five Pole positions; to victory in the Hungarian Grand Prix; and to third place podiums in Malaysia, China and Belgium.
