No word of whether we’ll be seeing it here, but London-based Gaucho Productions has produced an eight-part documentary on the Honda TT Legends’ 2012 road racing season, which takes in the Isle of Man TT. The first episode premieres Feb. 4 on ITV4 in the U.K. Here’s what the documentary’s trailer looks like:

Honda and Suzuki dealer Adams of Oakville in Oakville, CT has recently revamped its website. One picture on the website may be misleading, though. If you click on the “Showroom” page, up pop pictures of the various lines of motorcycles, ATVs, snowmobiles and power  equipment that Adams carries. One of the pictures is of a Husqvarna dirt bike. The last time I checked, Adams only has Husky power equipment. The Husky bike dealer in the area is Roost Powersports in Thomaston.

The Bruce Weiner Microcar Museum in Madison, GA is closing Saturday after 16 years of displaying some 200 of the smallest cars ever made. The entire collection will be auctioned off on Feb. 15 and 16, and there’s no reserve.
