Not all have time, money and wits to unveil revolutionary creations. And it is well exemplified by Dr. James Brighton latest offering of a remote controlled gas guzzling Hummer H3. It took him almost a month to deliver this first ever radio controlled vehicle. But this feature-packed and unique model doesn’t come easy and hence demands $70,000. If you have a heart to meet this ceiling price, then it is possible for you to play pranks leaving your friend inside it and monitoring it in the direction opposite to your friends’ willingness. But I advise you to be cautious as seemingly tricks can wreck up everything.

Every automobile exhibition carries with it some element of bling to restrain the attention of its elite customers’. And the customary ritual is being practiced at the ongoing International Motocycle show in Seattle offering a radiant wheel structure. You may call it chopper and she may label it as an artistic masterpiece but to me it seems no less than a functional sculpture. True, there is no dearth of ornamented wheels i.e. £9,500 Gold Bicycle, $800,000 ASI’s Bentley, bejeweled low-rider tricycle and others but the revolutionary offering of gold-plated custom chopper demands $500,000.
I am sure the filthy-rich would like to ink this neat deal as there is no other way to value their piled up dough. After a long oration, I now take a long breath and would allow you to enjoy a virtual ride over this chopper. Enjoy the video of the Custom Star Yamaha with similar looks that was featured at the 2007 International Motorcycle Show
