Can’t afford a Harley Davidson? …. Enter the Hardknock
Ok, so it’s not quite a Harley, but it’s a fraction of the cost at US$1,699.00 and looks the same!
It’s called a Hardknock and is a bobber in a traditional “old school” style featuring a springer front suspension, forward controls, jockey shift, electric start, solo seat, hydraulic disk brake, chrome plated TIG welded 4130 chrome-moly frame, and either a 49cc or 110cc 4-speed 4-stroke engine.
It has a 15” rear wheel and an 18” front and there’s not an ounce of plastic to be found. It is comprised of numerous polished billet aluminum components and chrome plated alloy steel.
It requires assembly so you can teach the little one a thing or two along the way. Makes a fun little project. It can be ordered in black primer or in one of the custom paint schemes so you can pimp your own bike up!

Posh spice is treating the boys this Christmas with an uber cool 9ft Treetent for £25,000. She picked one up at Neiman Marcus, the US equivalent to Harrods.
The luxury hideaway is described as a ‘limited dollop of sci-fi futurism’ and ‘a totally new way to experience nature’. Scores of celebs are said to be desperate up to get their hands on them.
The Treetent features a hardwood floor, a mattress that can sleep 2 adults or up to 4 children and even has adjustable planetary landing steps.
This Christmas… I want a mum like Victoria Beckham!

Do you crave a little danger?
If so then you need to get yourself some motorized Inline Skates by Motosk8. YES, they’ve been outlawed here in the UK, but that makes them even more desirable as this year’s ‘must have Christmas gadget’.
On the standard version of the skates one of the boots has attached to it a 22.5cc two stroke engine which will achieve 25mph (that’s fast when you can’t stop). And if that isn’t enough for you then you can always opt for the high-performance version capable of a pant-smearing 35mph.
But beware, UK police forces have said they will confiscate the skates if they see them being used in public due to the fact that the petrol tank could rupture and send the rider up in flames along with other pedestrians.

After a protracted battle, Donald Trump has finally been given approval for his Scottish £1 billion ($2 billion) golf resort.
The approval for Trump International Golf Links application was given by Aberdeenshire Council’s Formartine area committee.
The development will include the construction of two championship 18-hole golf courses, a five-star hotel, a golf academy, 950 holiday homes and 500 private houses at the 1,400 acre site near Balmedie in Aberdeenshire.
Whilst there are environmental concerns attached to the project, it is estimated that the economic benefits could amount to £60 milllion ($120 million) per annum and evoke the creation of 6,000 jobs.
