The space ship on that Russian space movie is just a little too Phallic.
Allright, I give up... What is that mystery device?!?
Mystery device: my bet is it's a giant kaleidoscope from the trippy hippy 1960's.
Those motorbikes are awesome. The Yamaha is a bit much, but the Suzuki G-Stryder is gorgeous. It's a pity that the more extreme looks you see in automobile concept pieces are so rarely passed on to the consumer market.
That Monotracer pod thing seems to have two secret extra wheels - you can see one of them in the picture above, mostly covered by a panel, just in front of the back wheel. You can see them extended a bit here: http://preview.tinyurl.com/6bxnjt on a different version.
Can't work out quite what the point of them is, though, unless it's to let you take EXTREMELY radical corners... Although then surely you'd have to get out to tip the bike upright again afterward...
Ok, I have become entranced with the song, and must know where I can find a copy of it, short of replaying the YouTube video over and over..Help, oh internet!
Rowan - try this link. It should have all the songs from this movie in mp3.
Enjoy!
I think the small wheels on the Monotracer are for low speed and parking. The Ecomobile has the same concept. This video shows it in action:

Avi Abrams, wow! Great to have those links although for some strange reason I can ony save as quicktime movie files. Any idea how I save as mp3s so I can play on my i-tunes?
Much appreciated
