Bow down and say hello to the Red Baron – a chopper powered by a 150hp nine-cylinder Rotec Radial R3600 aircraft engine…yes aircraft engine.

The Best Motorbike Impression Ever
The next best thing to actually owning a motorcycle…The Irony of doing this with a can of “Full Throttle”.
The Vietnamese Dark Knight Batpod made from Junk
Where there is a will there is a way and for only $480 bucks, a nearby scrap yard and a little bit of ingenuity, Tùng Lâm, from Vietnam rides around his small town in a wicked-cool looking Batpod. Ok so it is not exactly like the ‘million’ dollar Batpod built by Parker Brothers Choppers, but
Slightly Terrifying Bob Basset Leather Goods
“Rider” From the minds of Bob Basset, AKA Ukrainian steampunk fetish mask-makers…some slightly terrifying, but awesome leather masks, backpacks and shoes.

Moto Undone – The Invisible Motorcycle
Joey Ruite has a rather unique approach at designing a bike. Stripping down the unnecessaries, the unconventional concept bicycle, the ‘Moto Undone’ is a slight exercise in design aesthetics.

Inspired by ‘musculature’, designer Min Seong Kim claims that the whole body is made up of materials that stretch and contract just like the muscles in your body do,
Stunning Alien-Predator Bike made out of Spare Parts
What’s amazing about how damn good this Alien motorcycle looks, is that it was made out of spare parts. Although it does have a Predator-ish-like mouth, the Bangkok artist used recycled materials from old cars and bicycles to create a monster machine which is sculpted to look like an Alien. Roongrojna Sangwongprisarn, 54, has four
Transforming UNO III Segway–Style Scooter
Yes it’s real and a company called BPG Motors is taking advanced orders for their Uno III, a scooter that rides around on two self-balancing wheels, Segway-style. The rider can hit a button and deploy—on the fly—a third forward wheel that extends forward, letting the bike ride like a traditional motorcycle. In Uno mode, the
