At the Guggenheim Museum, you can see how the motorcycle developed as a force to be reckoned with on the mean streets throughout the late 1800s into the present. Some of the more interesting models came from 1930-1944.

Nude Man Carrot
No, don't get any ideas about this site. It's not porn. It's just a deformed carrot in really good lighting. Sure there's a weird story that goes along with the photos. But what did you expect with a site name like Nude Man Carrot?
