I searched more info and high definition photos about this project. This bike named the Jaguar Concept Motorcycle from Massow Concept Cycles. "Massow Concept Cycles - When first given the opportunity to view Barend Massow Hemmes' concept chopper folio nothing could prepare you for the impact of his collection. Using high end car trade marks and logos, Hemmes has developed these pioneering concept motorcyles making use of cutting edge engineering and materials technology. The jaguar 'leaper' cat logo became the first from his limited range to be built into a real machine. Engineered in high-grade stainless steel the bike flaunts a jaguar cat fairing on which the rider sits. This has been finished with ultra high gloss ebony lacquer. Hemmes is currently in talks with Jaguar to determine how they intend using it as radical new brand-awareness tool." • Length: 2.3 meters • Wheel center to center: 1.7 meters • 1200cc Buell 97 S3 Thunderbolt engine • Body made from high-grade stainless steel • Air intakes and exhaust system custom-engineered to suit cat profile • Cat fairing: Fiberglass finished in ultra-high-gloss ebony polyurethane lacquer • Handlebar width: 1 meter • Weight: 360 kg • Seat: Stingray | ||

Seatbelt fine of RM300!!!
From the new year onwards, all passengers in a car whether sitting in the front or back have to buckle up or face a RM300 fine. This only applies if the passenger is over 17 years old, but if you are younger, the driver of the car is the one who will be punished as according to Road Transport Director-General Datuk Solah Mat Hassan, it is the responsibility of the driver to ensure the safety of the minors that they are driving.
This new seatbelt ruling includes the rear seatbelts, but excludes the following:
- Cars registered before 1st of January 1995
- Cars registered after the 1st of January 1995 but not equipped with rear seatbelt anchorage points
- Commercial vehicles such as taxis and rental cars
- Vehicles with more than 9 seats including the driver's
- Transport vehicles with capacity above 3.5 tonnes
Wait, that's not all. The RM300 fine will be in effect only within a "grace period" of between the 1st of January 2009 to the end of June 2009. From the 1st of July 2009 onwards, this fine will be upped to RM2,000 and you could even go to jail for up to 1 year. Yes, it may seem harsh… but if you buckle up, you won't have to worry. It's for your own safety anyway
