The MonoTracer looks like a covered motorcycle. And that’s pretty much what it is. It features an aerodynamic cockpit that reduces the bike’s drag, and seats two (one behind the other). Its 130 horsepower engine gets it going to 60 in 5.7 seconds and maxes out at 155 MPH. The MonoTracer will set you back a staggering $82,350 and are available now. I don’t need one though. Nope, I need two. That way I have a backup in case I crash the other trying to jump over my neighbor’s house during a stunt spectacular. Don’t worry though, they have a pool in the backyard for me to land in.

Also, imagine how much fossil fuel will be used just to cut down the trees, mulch them, and hall them away.

I am not sure any commentary is necessary. Read the sign.

I’m on a blowing upage kind of roll these days. In case you ever wondered if a 100 tons of explosives would create a massive shockwave, a huge ball of fire, and mayhem, here is your answer.

If you though that blowing up a large sand sculpture, filming it with a high speed camera, and then reversing the tape would be awesome: You were correct…
