Marcus is a MotoGP fan, and if you look closely, you’ll spot a couple of HRC logos on the bike.
“In my dreams, this bike would be HRC’s version of a street tracker.
Or maybe a gift to Marc Marquez, so he can hit the streets after he wins the Superprestigio in Barcelona!” We reckon the pint-sized phenomenon would have a ball on this machine.
And he probably wouldn’t even miss the seat padding.

Story highlights Tyka Nelson says her brother's favorite color was ... orange The late musical artist's brand has been all about the color purple (CNN) Tyka Nelson just tweaked a major part of Prince's legacy.
The sister of the late superstar talked to the Evening Standard about an upcoming exhibit of Prince artifacts set to open in London and mentioned one of his beloved instruments.
"The standout piece for me is his orange Cloud guitar," the publication quoted Nelson as saying.
"It is strange because people always associate the color purple with Prince, but his favorite color was actually orange."
Full stop.
The singer, who died last year from an opioid overdose at the age of 57, was known as "The Purple One" and shot to megastardom thanks to his now-iconic 1984 film "Purple Rain."

There’s measuring the drapes, and then there’s measuring the drapes on a house you haven’t bought, and may never own, but you’re so convinced you will that, hey, let’s buy drapes!
And there’s hubris, Joe Miller-style.
So confident is Miller that he’ll win Lisa Murkowski’s Alaska Senate seat in November, he boasted last night to his over 4,000 Twitter followers that, on his trip to DC this week, he might do some house hunting.
And perhaps buy some furniture.
And also commission a name plaque for the door of his future Senate office.
The tweets were flagged by a source and sent my way.
Check it out.
The blog Mudflats and Slate reporter Dave Weigel also noticed.
Today, they’re gone.
In Miller’s defense, he is leading his race.
TPM’s Polltracker has him ahead by just over two points in a three way race with Murkowski and Democrat Scott McAdams.
But it’s probably for the best that he took those Tweets down.
After all, everybody knows there are no big egos in the United States Senate.

Thunder League Division Structure Dear players!
You have become acquainted with the Thunder League and watched some of the matches by the pro division teams.
Your participation in the league events and the purchasing of League “Dog tags” has made it possible to increase the prize pool of the pro division.
We thank you for your support with the eSports development in the game!
The time has come for our supporters to become participants - gather your teams and start to make your way to the top of the Thunder League - to the pro division!
The Qualifying tournament starts on February 2016 We announce two more divisions in the league: Novice Division – a division for the novice teams.
Semi Pro Division – medium division.
Semi Pro Division will be established after the qualifying Novice Division tournament, where all the Squadrons may participate.
Rules of the qualifiers: Tournament format: 7 vs 7.
Mode: realistic with markers for both sides.
A match means a single battle between two Squadrons on a random map in [Domination] mode.
Two respawns are available in every match.
Players in a team can choose any vehicles from those that the arbiters have authorised.
The best 24 Squadrons will be able to name 9 participants for the final group qualifying tournament.
You can see the tournaments regulations here.
6 qualifying groups (4 teams per group) will determine 12 teams (2 best teams per group) and thus they will form the Semi Pro Division.
After the Semi Pro Division qualifiers we will run the first season.
First season rules: The team that took 1st place qualifies for the Pro Division.
The team that took 2nd place will have a play-off match against the team that came 9th in the Pro-Division.
The teams that took 9th to 12th position, will have a play-off round against the best 4 teams in the Novice Division before the second season of the League.
Once the first season is over there will be no more final qualifying tournaments.
Thus we will make the structure for the Thunder League, which will have constant rotation between the divisions.
Good luck in the future battles!

Ad blockers are often painted as the enemy of online publishers, but sometimes things are more complicated.
AdBlock Plus, for example, just announced that they’re working with startup Flattr on a new product that allows readers to pay the publishers who produce the content they read, listen to and watch.
As a result of the partnership, AdBlock Plus said it has also made a small investment of undisclosed size in Flattr .
Together, the two companies have created a new product called Flattr Plus.
Like Flattr itself, it allows users to allocate a monthly budget that they want to pay publishers.
Unlike Flattr, users don’t have to click a button to “Flattr” a website — instead, it will automatically track their browsing activity and distribute the money based on their engagement.
It sounds somewhat similar to the way a company like Spotify distributes subscription fees to musicians — except it’s not just for artists on a single website or app.
Plus, the question of exactly how to calculate engagement is a tricky one.
You probably don’t want to reward a worthless article with a dumb-but-effective clickbait headline.
You might also leave an article open for hours without actually reading it.
Ben Williams, who leads communication and operations at AdBlock Plus, told me that the product is still in beta testing (the plan is to do a full launch later this year) partly so the team can experiment with ways to measure engagement — it will involve some combination of factors like time spent and scroll activity.
Publishers will have to sign up with Flattr Plus if they want to get paid, b ut Williams said that if they’re don’t, the money they’re due will be held for them until they join the program .
(Update: Williams said that actually, AdBlock Plus won’t hold the money — it’ll just tell them how much money they could have earned.)
The goal, he added, is to earn half a billion dollars in revenue for publishers next year.
He doesn’t necessarily expect every AdBlock Plus user to volunteer to pay, but he predicted that many will — and when you’ve got 500 million downloads, just a small percentage of users paying a few dollars a month can add up.
In fact, he said the AdBlock Plus users who opt out of seeing any advertising whatever (even if it’s part of the company’s acceptable ads program), are the ones who “have been the most vocal in asking for solutions like this.” Basically, these users have told the company they don’t like any ads, period, but they still want to support publishers and creators.
Now we’ll get a chance to see if they meant it.
Oh, and if you want to hear more about Flattr Plus and AdBlock Plus’ broader vision, I’ll be interviewing CEO Till Faida next week at Disrupt NY.
