Kawasaki's H2 Goes from Widowmaker to Well-Balanced Legend

Kawasaki's 1972 Mach IV H2 750 earned its 'Widowmaker' reputation for explosive torque and a fragile chassis. For 1974, Kawasaki extended the swingarm and wheelbase, refined the steering rake to 26.5° with 4.09 inches of trail, and tweaked port timing and exhaust to smooth the power curve, trimming peak horsepower from 74 to about 70. The result was a safer, more rideable bike, but changing markets—oil crises, safety rules, and emissions concerns—pulled support away from two-stroke performance, paving the way for the Z1 900. Still, pristine H2s remain highly collectible today.

Sebastian business owner survives deadly heart attack thanks to rapid ER care

John Truckner, a 62-year-old business owner in Micco, initially mistook two days of chest discomfort for heartburn before stopping at Orlando Health Sebastian River Hospital. There doctors found a 99% blockage in the LAD artery (the so-called widowmaker) and performed an emergency stent; further procedures followed as doctors suspected multiple heart attacks. Truckner credits the quick actions of the ER and cath lab teams and urges others to take even mild symptoms seriously.

Porsche 930: How a Turbocharged 911 Earned Its 'Widowmaker' Nickname

Porsche 930: How a Turbocharged 911 Earned Its 'Widowmaker' Nickname

The Porsche 930 — the first production turbocharged 911 — earned the 'Widowmaker' moniker because its sudden turbo boost, light weight, short wheelbase, and rearward weight distribution could surprise inexperienced drivers, leading to crashes in less-than-ideal conditions. As turbo technology evolved, later 3.3L versions added power and higher top speeds, reducing the era’s handling surprises. Today, early 930s command high auction prices (roughly $220k for early models, with Turbo S variants starting around $270k), and some enthusiasts pursue modern restomods like Singer’s Turbo Study to capture the 930’s character without its notorious instability.

"Overwatch 2 players anxious over elusive Mythic skins"

Overwatch 2 players are worried that it may take years for their favorite hero to receive a Mythic-tier skin, after estimating the timeframe of Mythic skin releases. Currently, only Genji, Junker Queen, and Kiriko have Mythic skins. With 37 characters in the game, some players fear it could take up to six years for every hero to receive a Mythic skin, and Blizzard may even introduce new cosmetic items like "Mythic weapons" which could further delay the release of new skins.
