Packing up from a good riding session or track day is never fun, and if you're anything like us, the task may suffer from a bad case of the monotonous blues. If you're looking for a way to put a new spin on the old routine, motorcycle stunt rider Eric Hoenshell has you covered.

During a film session for Speed Channel's new motorcycle series Stealth Rider, the cameras caught Hoenshell as he shut the tailgate in host of Super Bikes and all around stunt superstar Jason Britton's face. Britton and fellow stuntman Tony Carbajal were pumped to witness the invention of the new trick bearing Eric's namesake, the Hoenshell Shutter. This is where we should give the don't try this at home speech, but who are we to put the brakes on creativity? Hit the break for the full video, just don't break your neck spicing up your routine. Thanks for the tip, Allan!

Motorcycle-powered merry-go-round - click above to watch the video after the jump

Say you and three of your closest buddies find yourselves out for a leisurely Sunday cruise on your motorbikes, when you stumble upon the old schoolyard merry-go-round. Following an intense session of cerebral activity, and the obligatory drawing of straws, it is decided that all the necessary ingredients are on hand for a primitive recreation of the Gravitron. We know, it can feel like so long between carnival visits sometimes.

Moral of the story: First, if you are the guy in the red pants, it's officially time to begin the new friend hunt. Second, if you haven't yet found a use for motorcycles, open your mind, they really are very multifaceted. When was the last time you utilized your car to create a backyard, makeshift carnival ride? Wait, don't answer that, just hit the jump to watch the complete Moto-Go-Round experience. Thanks for the tip, Duy.

As an automaker best known for its voluptuous, curvy coupes, the Aston Martin Lagonda is a knife-edged enigma. The origami aggression of its exterior, its tech-laden interior, along with the sheer scale of the thing (over 17' long) must've made it look like an aluminum-skinned spaceship when it hit the show scene in 1976. Launched with a 5.3-liter Weber-carb'd V8 (and clunky Chrysler three-speed automatic), the performance didn't completely deliver on the Lagonda's avant-garde visuals, though it was allegedly capable of 140 mph. Naturally, the Lagonda's habitually troublesome electronics and quality-control issues didn't stop at least one Autoblog staffer from falling in love with its impossibly futuristic shape collection of angles.
