ITS A BIRD! ITS A PLANE!….. NO WAIT, IT’S BOB. It is with the utmost happiness that I am able to report on this amazing creation. Conceived by a Canadian, the Jetlev Flyer will let you fly over the water with childish ease. Powered by a 4-stroke engine varying in power from 155 to 215 HP allow you to reach speeds of up to 65 kph, reaching a height of 10 meters and fully puzzle anybody who witnesses you doing it.

Prices start at 99.000€ so your pocket must be deep. But really can we put a price on something James Bond would have in his closet? Think of it!

This is big news in Germany: An anonymous skater is wanted in Germany for speeding and compulsion, as he made it to travel at a speed of some 100 kph – 60 mph – while his companions blocked the Autobahn (!) with their cars. He could reach that speed by hanging on to a motorcycle which accellerated the skater prior to the lethal stunt.
