Motorcycle engine replica is also a USB hub for some reason

motousb.jpg

You've got to hand it to Japan: they know how to make a unique gadget. You'd never see something like this USB Engine Hub coming out of America. It's just too nonsensical. But hey, things don't need to always make sense, right?

This is a replica of a motorcycle engine, and it rumbles and makes noises just like the real thing. Turn it on and listen to it rumble to life. Hit the throttle to get some more juicy engine noises. It's just like the real thing, sort of. Oh, and it's a USB hub. So you can run your USB gadgets through it if you need some extra ports on your computer. So that's a plus, right? Right. God bless Japan.
