Happy 2009

Hope everyone had a great and memorable New Year. Enjoy the weekend before getting back to the grind of 09 on Monday.

Today's videos come to us from New Year's Eve on ESPN. Red Bull put on an event called New Year No Limits in which daredevil Robbie Maddison jumped his motorcycle onto the top of the Arc de Triomphe in front of Paris Las Vegas. Daredevil and rally driver Rhys Millen became the first person to backflip an off-road truck in the air.

Tough Economic Times Call for Marisa Miller

Justifying the purchase of a brand new Harley-Davidson is hard to do during tough economic times but that's where super supermodel Marisa Miller comes in. Pictures for Harley-Davidson's V-Rod Muscle motorcycle have been circulating due to Marisa Miller being in them. I'm sure people aren't posting these because they are actually excited about this new motorcycle but hey good for you Harley-Davidson, having most desired woman on the planet as your spokesman is not to shabby.

“To represent such an iconic American brand is incredible,” said the 2008 cover model of Sports Illustrated’s Swimsuit Edition. “I have grown up watching my dad and uncle ride Harleys. It’s amazing to circle back at this point in my career, and work with a brand I have so much respect for.”
