UD Replicas Unveils "Leather-as-Metal" Motorcycle Suit Based on "Iron Man 2"
After an extraordinary sold-out debut of its licensed Dark Knight motorcycle suit, UD Replicas, creators of hand-crafted, high-end leather motorcycle suits that replicate the on-screen designs worn by cinematic Super Heroes, is thrilled to announce its newest creation, the “leather-as-metal” motorcycle suit based on Iron Man 2.
Meticulously designed and hand-crafted by UD Replicas, with creative guidance from Iron Man creator, Marvel Comics, the suit flawlessly replicates the visual effect of Iron Man’s armor. The one-of-a-kind Iron Man 2 motorcycle suit encapsulates the impenetrable superhero’s toughness and elegance with the highest quality form-molded leather and accessories that Tony Stark himself would appreciate.
The overwhelming success of the Dark Knight suit represents an emerging confluence between pop culture and motorcycle enthusiasts. Whether it’s the opening sequence of an action hero racing through the city streets of Europe on his trusty bike or the sleek and futuristic Lightcycle featured in the upcoming Tron, these two worlds are increasingly intertwined and represent a distinct aesthetic for both the action hero and the motorcycle enthusiast.
The Iron Man 2 motorcycle suit retails for $1,298 in the U.S. Orders are currently available at www.UDReplicas.com. The company has also produced a Wolverine motorcycle suit which is also available through the website. I’ve attached an image of the Iron Man 2 motorcycle suit.

Starring: Leonardo DiCaprio, Ken Watanabe, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Marion Cotillard, Ellen Page, Tom Hardy, Cillian Murphy, Tom Berenger, Michael Caine
Director: Christopher Nolan
Dom Cobb is a skilled thief, the absolute best in the dangerous art of extraction, stealing valuable secrets from deep within the subconscious during the dream state, when the mind is at its most vulnerable.
Cobb’s rare ability has made him a coveted player in this treacherous new world of corporate espionage, but it has also made him an international fugitive and cost him everything he has ever loved. Now Cobb is being offered a chance at redemption. One last job could give him his life back but only if he can accomplish the impossible-inception.
Instead of the perfect heist, Cobb and his team of specialists have to pull off the reverse: their task is not to steal an idea but to plant one. If they succeed, it could be the perfect crime. But no amount of careful planning or expertise can prepare the team for the dangerous enemy that seems to predict their every move. An enemy that only Cobb could have seen coming.

We got to see a sort of advance screening of this movie, and I must say it’s a pretty non-stop thrill ride. It’s much like Chris Nolan’s version of the Matrix movies but rather than taking place in a computer Inception takes place in your subconscious while a person dreams. It was pretty excellent seeing Joseph Gordon-Levitt get his chance to be an action hero.
It was also a surprise to see the kid from the 80′s Harrison Ford flick Witness in this movie, and then a surprise visit from Tom Berenger (Rustler’s Rhapsody, Sniper, The Substitute), who we haven’t seen anything from in a long time!
Having seen it in a true IMAX theater really puts a special edge on the film! I personally give Inception the Green Light!
Harley-Davidson Launches New Performance Bike TODAY

Harley Davidson XLR1200 Sportster
Our friends at Harley-Davidson have done it yet again. There’s no question why the company has been around for as long as they have. It’s easy to do when you’re constantly redefining yourself.
Harley-Davidson is unveiling a new motorcycle tonight that will defy perceptions of what Harley is all about.
The new XR1200X is a gritty-performance sportster that taps into Harley’s racing roots. The bike features a blacked-out powertrain and exhaust, black wheels, minimal chrome and nothing to polish – making it a bike to ride aggressively and put away dirty.
Inspired by the XR750 made legendary by Evel Knievel, Harley-Davidson was due for an extreme performance bike. While Harley has a long history with racing and limits-pushing riding that began back in 1932, modern day thrill-seekers like Bubba Blackwell and Seth Enslow have kept the spirit alive.
The two riders pulled off full flips using an earlier edition of the bike this past year. While that kind of extreme riding should be left to the pros, there is no doubt that with the attainable price point and customizable features of the new XR1200X, the bike will enable young adults and the young at heart everywhere to keep their adrenaline fix with in arms reach.
The XR1200X is being unveiled in Milwaukee, Wis., Harley’s home town, tonight at 6:30 PM CT. The bike will be available at dealerships later this summer. The retail price is $11,799.

iFrogz Comfort Series Headphones [REVIEW]

There is little worse than being up at two in the morning when everyone else is asleep wanting to listen to music at deafening decibel levels but not being able to because you’d wake the house. I personally hate most ear buds I’ve tried, which means that I’m always looking for something new to get the sound from whatever device it is to my wanting ears! Enter iFrogz CS40 the newest offering from the company.
The CS40s are part of the “comfort series” and have extra padding on the ears to make it feel like you have pillows on both ears, with sound being pumped out of them.
Once I circumvented the nearly impenetrable plastic package that I had to open with my Pirahna, it becomes obvious that iFrogz was concerned with style when creating this line and they have succeeded in that mission.
Travelers will enjoy the lightweight design as well as the folding feature. The headphones have a retractable headband, helping them fold up in a suitcase. (more…)

America was NOT founded on the concept of freedom and individual rights! Yup that’s right, I said it! And if you read further you’ll understand for sure!
I just got done watching my screener of America; The history of us which is about to air Sunday April 25 2010 at 9 P.M ET/PT and I must say, quite frankly throw out the current history books and rethink everything you’ve ever learned about American history. This series will absolutely blow your mind.
When the producers of “America the Story of Us” started working on a 12-hour series for the History Channel, they envisaged a “rip-roaring adventure”, starting with a meteor crashing through the Appalachian mountains 300 million years ago, and 16 million buffalo roaming the open western plains.
“Sometimes you have the idea that history is a dusty thing in books. This (series) is the opposite. It is energetic and exciting and full of people having amazing moments,” executive producer Jane Root told Reuters.
More than a year in the making, “America the Story of Us” debuts on Sunday in what the History Channel says is the first TV project in more than 40 years to cover 400 years of U.S. history.
While we here at High Speed Magazine do certainly realize that you are all way too cool to spend 12 hours out of your life watching the History channel we certainly suggest that you make the exception in this case! Remember knowledge is power, and smart is the new sexy.
Black Eyed Peas VIP Concert Column

Black Eyed Peas
The Black Eyed Peas had their concert in Los Angeles with LMFAO and I had gotten an invite to the official Bacardi VIP party at the Conga room inside the new LA Live complex.
I’ve got to say that sometimes I’m surprised at how much I really love this job! To be the person that brings you into an event that you aren’t able to attend is awesome!
It was a mad house inside LA Live where the group had been performing. I have never seen so many people in such a small space before and they were all there because of the Black Eyed Peas or for LMFAO.

Kick Ass Movie Review - High Speed Magazine
The 411: Kick-Ass tells the story of comic book fanboy Dave Lizewski (Aaron Johnson), who thinks that it would be a good idea to become a real life superhero named Kick Ass. The problem? He has no powers at all, but in the process launches a subculture of other superhero wannabes like Red Myst, Hit Girl, and Big Daddy. Together, they team up to take down the city’s most violent mob boss.
