If you live in a state where you get no snow, feel fortunate! There are those of us that have to deal with shoveling and the freezing cold, not to mention that we have to lock our bikes up for months at a time.

A middleweight Ducati Superbike is not exactly a new concept, so why is there so much buzz about the release of the 2008 Ducati 848 Superbike?
At first glance the 848 appears to be a de-tuned and rebadged 1098. In fact, the new bike shares the majority of its basic architecture with the 1098, but at [...]
The idea of a purpose-built, off-road ‘playbike’ may be an unfamiliar one in the UK, but in the USA it’s big business, as proven by Kawasaki’s all-new KLX140.
‘Playbikes’ are essentially what the name implies – a novice and teenager-friendly, small capacity dirtbike for just that, playing on in your larger than average American back yard. [...]
Forget cut-price M&S underpants and cheap microwaves, check out these stunning specials about to be off-loaded by the world’s top custom motorcycle builders.
Roger Goldammer’s stunning Nortorious supercharged single café racer and the Experimental two-stroke 250 broke from endless, monotonous stream of American v-twin choppers by using engines you’d never dream of.

Because Catherine is stuck at the Dallas Airport right now trying to get back to Alaska, I'm bringing you this week's GADLING TAKE FIVE. Stay-tuned for Catherine's tales of her holiday travels. In the meantime, here's what happened this week in the midst of holiday mayhem.
Seriously, it's very hard to choose from what's written each week so I'm turning to the numbers game. For starters, here are the three posts that have been forwarded the most.
Aaron's post "Are you smarter than a two-year-old" is one that can wow you or make you feel terrible that your geography skills are worse than a toddler's. This toddler is also getting her 15 minutes of fame and more as she makes the TV circuit showing off her skills.
Grant's "Christmas in Saigon" is one indication of how cultural traditions travel and that sometimes when a culture takes on another culture's trait (Santa hats) it goes even further with it. I've seen the Santas on the motorcycles that Grant refers to. The man knows what he's taking about.
Abha's "Don't miss the sky this christmas" gives reasons why it's good to look up this time of year. The winter sky is perfect for star gazing. Christmas Eve may have been a perfect night, but there are still plenty of others.
Also this week, Neil's must -read series on traveling in North Korea ended with his post, "Infiltrating North Korea Part 19: A Final Word." If you haven't read the series, click here to read it from the beginning.
As a series of sorts to follow, Jerry is embarking on a look at Nauru, a country you may not have heard of. Obviously, it's one of the world's smallest. His post appropriately named "A country you've never heard of" is the only posting so far, but I assure you there are others in the line-up.

'Boobs on Bikes' is a mostly annual parade of semi-nude pornstars riding on motorcycles through large New Zealand cities (in the past, Christchurch, Palmerston North and most prominently Auckland)
My brother is the musician in the family. I'm not even that good at Guitar Hero. But here's an instrument my speed: The Suzuki Q Chord. There's a keypad for chord control, a 4 touchpanel for strumming, and a electric whammy bar for pitch bends. It comes preloaded with 10 rhythm tracks, and 100 MIDI instruments. And if you didn't notice, Halo-weapon looks. Seems like keytar of the future, doesn't it? I thought so, too. Until I saw these disturbing demo videos.
What the nice sales people want you to believe you will sound like:
What you will actually look like when you play with the Q Chord:

@Brian Lam: Hey how about you guys get hold of one and check it out firsthand? Maybe you can do a Battlemodo with Guitar Hero. Or something. That video is certainly no indication of potential coolness....
