Bridgestone Plans To Roll Out New Airless Bicycle TiresThese are the new 'Air Free Concept' airless bicycle tires developed by Bridgestone that the company hopes to bring to the market by 2019, or approximately five months after the world ends. Whether it ends with a bang or whimper remains to be seen, but I'm hoping for a bang, preferably by a massive alien laser cannon.

Auction Block: Untouched 1993 Porsche 911 Carrera RSRHere’s the thing with classic cars: if there’s one you’re pining after from years long gone, it’s pretty much guaranteed that you’ll never get one brand new. At the very least, you won’t be the one breaking it in. There are, however, extremely rare occasions where nearly untouched examples emerge and head to auction, like phoenixes rising from the ashes – which is exactly the story behind this 1993 Porsche 911 Carrera RSR.Petrocaine

Vintage Electric Outlaw Tracker eBikeRod Emory has been restoring old Porsches for the better part of the last 27 years. And while everything Emory Motorsports pumps out has been brilliant, it appears that Mr. Emory wanted to prove that his expertise isn’t limited to those vehicles. Or at least that’s what we’re taking away from his latest collaboration with Vintage Electric – a Porsche-inspired electric bicycle called the Outlaw Tracker.Petrocaine

Lister Knobbly Sports Racer60 year after it first raced as a competition car, Lister’s Knobbly Sports Racer is making a reappearance as a road legal vehicle.
Unlike most classic car replicas, every part of this vehicle – from the aluminum body panels to the engine – features an old-school bespoke build. Under the hood of the 1950’s racing stalwart is a Jaguar 6-cylinder 3.8-liter engine that drives 330 horses through a four speed gearbox – really similar to the old D-type engines of the mid-century. This powerplant is powerful enough to send the 1,735 pound vehicle racing up to 60 mph in just 4.3 seconds on its way to a top speed of 181 miles per hour.Petrocaine

Luke Skywalker Rebel Fighter Motorcycle HelmetHJC has a habit of making some really cool Star Wars themed motorcycle helmets – like one modeled after Boba Fett. And their latest release, while a bit of a different style, is no less cool.

Traxxas 8S X-Maxx 4WD R/C TruckThere was a time when remote controlled vehicles were wimpy little approximations of cars that could barely tool around suburban streets. But those days ended a while ago. Now, there are some pretty incredible and capable vehicles that can hit absurd speeds even on rugged terrain. Even most of those, however, don’t compare to how badass the Traxxas 8S X-Maxx truck is. Design Hunters

1980 Honda CB750 by Ace Custom ShopCafe racers have hit their peak in popularity recently. But that doesn’t mean that people are going to stop making interesting ones. Not by a long shot. In fact, these motorcycles have gotten to the point where their accessibility has extended their reach the world-round. And while that means we’re getting to see new examples from across the globe, it also means we’re getting to see regional spins on these bikes.

If Audi Made MotorcyclesAs much as we wish they did, Audi doesn’t make a moto (unless you consider the fact that they own Ducati)… but if they did, you can be sure it’d have a flat torque curve, and silently creep across red lines! Just like this concept: the Audi R1 e-tron. Design Hunters

This is a video of the folks from Autel Robotics using an X-Star Premium Drone to cook Thanksgiving dinner. It peels potatoes and carrots, deep fries a piece of turkey, dices carrots and parsley, mixes gravy, cream, potatoes and pumpkin pie mix, and butters rolls. It's so handy you don't even need a mom to cook Thanksgiving anymore. *phone rings* Come on, mom, of course I didn't mean that. Hit the jump for the video while I eat jellied cranberry sauce straight from the can. It's tradition.
Are you a phubber or a smombie? You're almost certainly a member of the bowed head tribe. New phrases can skewer our smartphone obsessions, says Tom Chatfield. New words sometimes skewer a trend so perfectly you wonder how you survived without them. One of the most delightfully apt new phrases I’ve found in the last few years is a Chinese term: dī tóu zú (低頭族), literally the “bowed head tribe”.
Based out of Stockholm, Sweden, 6/5/4 Motors specializes in building out old used bikes into cafe racers, scramblers and street trackers of superior quality. They’re also known for their surf shop, which – in case you’re unaware of the climate in Sweden – only serves to support the serious nature of their passions. This Scrambler, in particular, is one of three 6/5/4 decided to build for themselves last year before any wild custom orders began making their way into the shop, and we have to admit we’re a bit jealous this one never made it to market.
