A two stroke candle might conjure up the wrong image, but relax, we’re talking about engines and racing here. The folks at Flying Tiger Motorcyles made the Two Sroke Smoke Candle ($20) with real Blendzall Racing Castor 2 stroke oil. Light it up and the scent of high octane racing fills the air. Close your eyes and imagine speeding down the track. Then, wake up to your girlfriend asking why the bedroom smells like a mechanic’s garage. Oh well.

A New Tourist Site In The French Alps Might Make You Faint
Walking in the clouds sounds better than sleeping with the fishes. The new Aiguille du Midi Skywalk installation in the French Alps lets you do just that. A twenty minute cable ride takes you to a box with five glass walls. Look down to 3300 feet of pure nothingness. Contemplate why you do such stupid things. And give extra pay to the janitor who has to clean the puddles of urine in this box every day.

Baseball and Architect Fans Will Enjoy These Iconic Ballpark Blueprints
Here’s the chance to enjoy all the legendary ballparks from another perspective. Ballpark Blueprints ($49) render the great ones with specific architectural details, including a plan view, signature elevation view, and details unique to the park. Some blueprints are taken straight from the original building plans. Right now, they only have AT&T Park, Busch Stadium, Citizens Bank Park, Fenway Park, Wrigley Field and Yankee Stadium. No Camden Yards? Maybe they’ll get to that later. These come on museum-quality paper, suitable for hanging or gifting.

Cardsharp 4: Back and Even Stabbier
The Cardsharp 4, even stabbier! Maybe the Cardsharp 4 ($90) won’t use that slogan, but it beats back Cardsharps 1-3 with a thinner and sharper design. The unit now comes with an all-aluminum knife and housing, a 2 part safety lock and a spring-loaded hinge to prevent sagging and keep everything flat in open and closed positions. No wayward slicing. Stainless steel material accounts for an even sharper blade. All this comes at a price though, as the Cardsharp 4 leaps in price from $23 to $90. Quite a bit more than a Swiss army knife, but the Cardsharp 4 looks much cooler cutting open packages and knifing paper.

Kubo Electric Cargo Scooter: Carry On, My Weighed-Down Son
The urban dweller can easily justify the use of a scooter for getting around town, but what about when he needs to stock up for that night’s raucous-yet-perfectly-legal-thank-you-very-much house party? Kubo ($5,000), the electric cargo scooter is the answer. Its unique 22″ square cargo space is perfectly laid out to handle all the stuff that would never fit on another bike. Kubo can carry up to 300 lbs (driver weight + cargo), and it goes up to 45 mph while lasting about 50 miles before needing a charge.

The Hesketh 24 Motorcycle
The famed Hesketh name from Britain returns with its first motorcycle in 30 years, the Hesketh 24. The ’24’ comes from the original F1 car of the same number that won the Grand Prix in 1975. Hesketh Racing had a short-lived, but evidently, wild existence, having “a growing reputation for their playboy style, arriving at races in Rolls-Royce cars, drinking champagne regardless of their results, and checking the entire team into five-star hotels.” Not a surprise since Lord Hesketh founded the racing team in 1973 at the blissfully unaware age of 22.
The new cycle comes equipped with a robust 1950 cc 56 degree V-twin engine putting out around 120 bhp. Scottish and English flags emblazon the tail, paying tribute to the original F1 winning car. Only 24 bikes will see the light of day, so get yours and wait for the Rolls-Royces and champagne parties to follow.
