Now THAT is COOOOL, Derek!  I'm gettin' me one too. Though before I order one, can somebody please find out for me if while attempting to keep with the old classic look of that beautiful motor and seeking some sort of authenticity, if that wire which is pictured here sticking out of it might have been manufactured by Lucas Electronics LTD?! (I don't want my computer to crash, ya know)

Yep! Just like a good Single Malt Scotch, you might call me "an acquired taste" TOO.(among the many OTHER things you may care to call me, of course)

Man, Tim! Your life seems about as lonely and undirected as mine does since I've retired, Dude!  (proving daily that "idle hands are the Devil's workshop")

I wonder if someone can arrange a group buy on those. We could probably go through a palette worth just on this site.

That's COOL, baby! I couldn't find the specs, but the demo mentioned a mouse or thumb drive, so i gotta assume it is probably a low power/low speed 1.1 USB triplex port. Any of your newer electronics/peripherals available today are going to need (and in the very near future, require) the faster 2.0 USB.
Just FYI- As cool as it is, I'd hate for someone to drop $40 clams on old technology that may soon be obsolete.

In the link Soren posted it says,
HUB USB2.0 x3
Much more expensive though than what the article I posted said, $59.14 + $20.16 for shipping.

Ya know, I have to say, it's pretty cool that in this era of over-hyped V-twins, that the manufacturer would choose to closely copy a Triumph Twin.... Now what will the Harley crowd do? Can't have a "Live to Ride-Screamin Eagle Screensaver, and then have a PARALLEL TWIN USB Hub!!!! Gotta love it...

I think it looks pretty cool, as long as it does not leak its contents over the desk it should be fine. Looking at the USB ports I have in use:- USB Phone (Skype) USB camera(Skype) Camera Ipod Printer Hard disc drive I think I may go overboard on USB items

Don't order one yet! I just heard from a guy, who knows someone, who said: "They're going to be releasing a 1500cc version of this hub, next year."
