Why burn fuel when you can burn fat? This is true if you look at Grace, “the world’s first and finest E-Motorbike.” About $8742 will get you in the game with this handmade in aluminum electric bike with euro-fighter and Formula 1 parts that power its 1300-watt motor with lithium-ion batteries. Grace, the manufacturer, claims its top speed at 40mph with one-hour battery recharge time. The unique and stylish look signals their futuristic approach to electric motorbikes, but you gotta wait till January before it is out in the stores.

WHY 58×38

 

OMG! I want to live here. Spacious, sunny apartment, hard wood floors, glass and steel. Except that this is not an apartment. It’s not even a building. It’s the strangest yacht I’ve seen, as these pretty shots show.

WHY 58×38

Designed by luxury fashion company Hermes and ship-builder Wally, the $US142 million WHY 58×38 is more floating mansion than yacht. Those figures stand for its peculiar 58 by 38 meter dimensions, which is unlike any other vessel in the world. It features solar panels that will save 200 tons of diesel fuel per year, as well as 300 square metres of windows designed to bathe its interior with natural light.

According to Luca Bassini, founder of Wally, “I think the best part of this boat is the stern. It’s not like the usual stern of a boat, it’s more like the real beach of an island; a beach which is protected from the wind and the waves, where you can really relax.” You are so damn right, Luca. If you are reading this, please give me a call when it’s done, so I can lease one of its six suites for a year or two (and be a pal and make that the 200 square metre master suite) ( Daily Mail)

Death Road in Bolivia, South America

It is legendary for its extreme danger and in 1995 the Inter-American Development Bank christened it as the "world's most dangerous road". One estimate is that 200-300 travelers were killed yearly along the road. The road includes crosses marking many of the spots where vehicles have fallen. Heck !!! 200 - 300 killed every years

 

The North Yungas Road (also Grove's Road, Coroico Road, Camino de las Yungas, El Camino de la Muerte, Road of Death, and Death Road) is a 61 to 69 km road (depending on source) leading from La Paz to Coroico, 56 km (35 miles) northeast of La Paz in the Yungas region of Bolivia

 

A South Yungas Road (also Chulumani Road) exists that connects La Paz to Chulumani, 64 km (40 miles) east of La Paz, and is considered to be nearly as dangerous as the north road. More pictures of this road

 

I feel like falling if I drive on this road

It looks like a good motorbike but I dont know if it works or not because I see no speed meter on its head, um...just wonder how does it work ???
