Canada's Most Stolen Vehicle is the 2009 Toyota Venza, Pontiac Aztec Makes Top 10

Who would have ever guessed that car thieves in Canada have a thing for the Toyota Venza? Yet, the 2009 model year version of Toyota's crossover topped the Insurance Bureau of Canada’s [IBC] top 10 most frequently stolen vehicles this year. The 2009 Venza takes the crown from the 2000 Honda Civic SiR Coupe that was last year’s number one stolen vehicle but dropped to third place in

Honda Issues a Single Number Recall on 2012MY Odyssey Minivan

If you happen to follow the automaker recall notes, you may notice that quite often they involve a specific batch of models, be that for a parts defect or an error during the assembly of a car. In Honda's case, the safety recall involves only nine Odyssey minivans from the 2012 model year, built from October 31, 2011, through November 30, 2011.

TUF/FMF POWER AX TEAM


Gibson and TUF Racing keep the red plate in Wilkes-Barre.
 

They have had a lot of rain in Pennsylvania and usually this would have no effect on AX except the dirt wasn’t covered this year and the track was extremely soft.  This led to some of the biggest ruts I have ever seen indoors and caused havoc to many of the riders.  Jeff started off great on Friday night finishing second in his heat race.  No one wanted to take to many chances in the heat races on the rutted track one small mistake and you were on the ground.  Cole Siebler was back this weekend and was winning his heat race until a red flag caused a restart.  Cole ended up 3rd in the restart and it was nice to have two riders in the front row for the main.  The gate dropped on the main and both riders got good starts.  Jeff rounded the first turn out front and Cole was in fourth.  Someone got a little out of shape in the whoops and Cole was back in 9th after one lap.  Jeff led the first 14 laps but Chad Johnson was right behind him and made the move on lap 15 with Jeff following him home in 2nd.  Meanwhile Cole was having the ride of the night passing all the way up to third.

Saturday didn’t start as well for the FMF Power team as Jeff had some contact in the first turn in his heat race and could only get himself back up to 5th.  While this was good enough to transfer to the main he was going to have to do it from the second row.  Cole led his heat into the first turn also, but he also had trouble with some ruts and dropped back to 3rd.  Cole dropped his back trying to pass for second and dropped all the way back to 9th.  Cole had worked his way back into a qualifying position when he went down hard in the whoops and would have to sit out the rest of the night.  We knew going into the main starting in the second row was going to be tough on this rutted track so we just wanted to salvage as many points as possible.  Jeff came through the first turn around 9th or tenth and slowly picked off one rider at a time until he was in fourth.   He was just about to pass Skaggs for 3rd when Skaggs got cross rutted and Jeff ran into the back of him and went down.  He got up and going again but he was back in 7th.   Jeff put his head down and slowly re-passed the riders he had just worked his way around.  At this point in the race Gibson was the fastest rider on the track. He passed Skaggs back for fourth with 4 laps to go and set his site on Johnson in 3rd but just ran out of time by the checkers.  This was a great ride by Jeff and with it he maintains his six point lead over Bowers going into the break.

Growing up with three sisters, the Barbie doll fascination just really escaped me. I wanted a Ken doll, he just seemed a bit more realistic as a role model for me. My sisters worried about nail polish and when they could wear nylons, I wanted a tree house in the back yard. I am 100% all girl and love the guys but my interests were much more athletic naturally.

KAW has several plants throughout Japan as well as in Thailand and Brazil. It has built several Toyota models while also helping the Japanese company in the engineering

Volkswagen's New Cross Coupe Concept Live from the Tokyo Show

For a very long time, we only had rugged 4x4s, but then SUVs made their appearance in the market followed shortly after by crossovers and we before we knew it, all hell broke loose and each carmaker invented its own acronym to describe a specific niche in any given segment. Albeit a conceptual proposal, the Volkswagen Cross Coupe is one such example with the German automaker describing it

2012 Vemar Attivo Flip-Up Helmet Preview:

Vemar will introduce the new "Attivo" flip-up helmet at the 2011 EICMA show. The Attivo will not replace the Vemar Jiano EVO TC Flip-up (preview) (full review in process) but will supplement the lineup as a lower-priced alternative. It will be sold in Europe and the U.S.A.


Accessories for both the Jiano EVO TC and the Attivo include the Vemar LED cheek pads with rechargeable battery and an integrated Bluetooth intercom communications system.

I handled the Attivo at the Vemar booth at EICMA; here is a video, some photos and the Vemar press release for the new Attivo. Hopefully, we'll have one for a review as soon as the helmet is ready!

2012 VEMAR Storm Preview:


Vemar introduced the new "Storm" full-face helmet at the 2011 EICMA show. The Storm is a new low-to-mid priced helmet and the samples on display appeared to have very high quality, with tight tolerances in the split lines and parts.

The Storm shell is a type of polycarbonate and the helmet will be available in sizes ranging from XS to XXL. It comes with a Pinlock-ready face shield in Europe and an anti-fog coated face shield in the U.S.

Both the European and North American face shields will be treated with an anti-scratch coating also. The Storm also has a "Microlock" chin strap retention system. Various tinted face shields, a Pinlock insert, cheek pads and other parts will be available as options.

The liner used in the Storm appeared to be comfortable and the helmet is nicely padded. The liner is removable and washable and it has an anti-microbial treatment.

One of the characteristics of the Storm is the availability of a range of colors and graphics in addition to solids. The colors were bright and vibrant and are very nicely suited to the overall design of the helmet. The "Diablo" graphics, with the large outlined five-pointed stars, look very nice, as so the other graphics.

We hope to have a Storm for a review in the near future and I'll be covering the 2012 Indianapolis Powersports Dealer Expo, where the Storm will be officially released in the U.S.

2012 VEMAR Helmets Overview:


Vemar had a lot to show at the show! In addition to the Vemar Storm (First Look) and the Vemar Attivo Flip-up (First Look), they had some late stage prototypes of their new "Black Technology" line of helmets on display.

Black Technology represents the highest level of Vemar Helmet design and manufacture. The sinister-sounding name refers to the carbon fiber used to make the shell for the helmets in this range.

Vemar has a great deal of experience with manufacturing products using carbon fiber and other materials; the company began by making various products for the wine-making and plumbing industries and they make polycarbonate and composite fiber-based protective helmets for auto racing, the military and firefighting sectors, among others.

The carbon fiber used in the Black Technology helmets looked beautiful on the samples that were on display at the show. The first helmets in this range will be a Black Technology version of the Vemar Eclipse (review) and the Vemar Chimaera, which U.S. owners know as the Vemar Jiano EVO TC (review).
Vemar had another Black Technology helmet on display; it is an off-road version with highly stylized features that are different from just about any other off-road helmet I've seen.

I have included photos below; this helmet is in prototype development and some of the moldings are actually made from a type of Selective Laser Sintering rapid prototyping machine. In fact, they had an entire helmet shell that had been produced this way and it can also be seen in the photos below.

Other news from Vemar includes a slightly revised Eclipse with some of the boldest-looking intake and exhaust vents I've seen in a while (photo below), along with the new Vemar Storm (First Look)helmet line and the Vemar Attivo Flip-up (First Look), both described in separate articles.

And don't forget the Vemar "Bluetooth Cheek Pad" system -- it's an entire Bluetooth communications system installed in a cheek pad, similar to the LED lighting cheek pad I described in the Vemar Jiano EVO TC review!

So, Vemar has been pretty busy -- here are some photos of what they've been up to!

**"Black Technology" version of the Vemar Chimaera (Jiano EVO TC) on the left and the Vemar Attivo on the right.**

**Vemar Chimaera Black Technology on the left and Attivo on the right with their flip-up visors raised.**

**The "Night Vision" Chimaera (Jiano EVO TC) comes in this safety yellow that glows in the dark for up to 8 hours! It was difficult to see in the bright lighting in the Vemar booth but we placed it in a box and it looks pretty amazing. I hope to have one for a review!**
Additional Data: Vemar’s Night Vision helmet is activated by absorbing the UV radiation of sunlight. The longer the exposure to sunlight the longer the helmet will emit its afterglow effect. The maximum a Night Vision helmet with glow is 8 hours. The glowing effect is more intense in the first 2-3 hours and then it starts gradually to become less intense. The Night Vision effect does not have a life span (just like the clock dials); it will outlast the useable lifespan of the helmet itself! Vemar’s exclusive Night Vision painting process is more complicated to apply than standard paint or graphics. Vemar’s proprietary paint formula includes a phosphorescent pigment that must be applied carefully, in three layers, over a special base coat.
