Four Wheel Motorbike

Have you encounter the questionnaire about distinguishing dominant character by choosing between a fighter plane and a race car. What a terrible assessment it ain't practical. Who could afford a fighter plane for his personal use plus the price. If the price is like a car i'm sure every body would buy one, right!

What's better is if the chooses are a motorbike and a car. Would that be an easier choice? Guess what - the most popular pick, yeah your right, is the car. It's s safe, comfortable, versatile and utility wise..well if your a boring person you'll definitely choose this one. But if your an adrenaline junkie like this two buds (picture from dirk huijssoon of flickr, i just combine them) you'll pick the motor bike. If you want to drive with control and feel the nature, it's the favorite pick. But many dont' want to or scare to drive a motor bike because of it's accident hazard nature. Plus majority of street accident involving motor bike has a huge fatality. But now with KTM, Europe's second largest motorcycle maker, teaming up with Audi to make driving on two wheel motor bike a pleasure ride. They created the X-Bow a 2.0 liter direct injection turbocharges 4 cylinder engine that produces 220 bhp on four wheels. The estimated accelaration from 0-60 mph is less than 4 seconds. (that's the same speed as a ferrari and lamborghini). Why is it like driving a motorbike...it's because...X-bow don't have any doors, no wind shields, no roof and you have to have a helmet to drive. No more worrying about your balance...in this four wheel motorbike..your dream to be a biker is at hand.

X-bow in action (picture from autospies, i just make it more faster :-)

Now lets put those two motor bike buddies on X-bow how would they react. Their face says it all. :-)

A Centavo Saved Is A Money Earned

This is a popular phrase parents tell us siblings, specially those entering new phase in their life, like the fresh graduates on their first work or newly married couples. Whilst many follow their parents' advice still majority of Filipino don't know how to save. Do you agree..i do..i'm one of this typical Pinoy. Are you also?

There are many books or articles to read on how to overcome poverty with saving. One financial educator; Mr. Francisco Colayco, teachs saving by setting aside 20% of your regular earning. He also emphasis the equation to save is salary less saving less loan the difference is for your expense (salary-savings-loan=expense) not the other way around. Yet the best example of saving is from Paul Brant a 70 year old man who bought a new Dodge ram for $25,000.00 from his saving of 13 years.. (read the full story)

The best idea for his story is to deposit those penny to the bank each time you save them to double this amount. But your gasoline to the bank would cost you more! :-)

Back to blogging

The last post on Kabayan Junction was last September/07. One reason for this is my addicting habit of doing new things as a result i fail to make to post any blog.

But not all is lost (cross my fingers)...the three months i've been away that i learned the basic to advance techniques of Photoshop using CS3.

This is Kabayan Junction's new favicon and from here on i'm posting along with photos combine with other text or images. It will be a better and exciting new year for Kabayan Junction.

The butterfly photo is original from Stockxpert. The Philippine flag from Flickr and the text with bevel and emboss effects using Photoshop CS3 extended.
