HK G36C Clone.


This G36C is the best clone I've seen. It's converted from the civilian HK SL-8 with a SBR barrel. 100 rounds of 5.56 at a finger tip like this will never happen him in The People's Republic of Kalifornia.
I just completed my USC to UMP clone and love it, but did it cost a shit load of money. I never was interested in a G36 conversion till I saw this one. Just look at that B&T forend... I want one.

MotoPlan Tail for Paul Smart 1000LE.


Man, this tail section is sexy. I've wanted an integrated taillight in the cowl look for sometime. Motoplan has taking the heartache of doing it 1-off and hoping it holds up.
The sizing looks perfect for the bike as I always thought the tail width was a bit bloated. But now I'm concerned if the bike will look a bit front heavy with this tail. I think a small polished peanut tank would be the answer.

American Apparel Loose Crew Summer Tee.


A great variation on the regular crew neck tee. Perfect for those who don't want to commit with a full deep V but still want a something a bit less constraining around the neck. At $18, these broken-in tees are plenty soft and comfortable as this summer's essential piece.

Belstaff Brad Jacket.


Belstaff has traditionally been a staple in moto leathers for years. The Brad jacket here in a lightweight leather, is another great example of classic and timeless design. Priced well and constructed with old world attention, this jacket is a killer basic piece for any guy's wardrobe.
It'll be right at home on your Vincent Black Shadow, or at dinner with the boys...

G-Star Defender 110.


Sometimes I REALLY loathe Land Rover. I get not being able to have a Zonda or a Clio over here in the States, but I resent the fact that Land Rover (or US DOT) can't get their shit together and let us have these here. I would be the first in line to pop down the (assuming estimate) $65k.
Dutch clothing brand, G-Star RAW, did an amazing job with it. This D110 is done up almost exactly like how I would outfit it. The Matte gun-metal paint with chocolate accents really compliment the lines of the vehicle. I would finish off this scheme with matching matte chocolate steel wheels (w/ spare on the rear), a gunmetal roof rack, and the interior in matching chocolate leather with chocolate quilted canvas inserts .
Since I can't have this D110, I'll be biting this color scheme onto a mundane US spec SUV.

Ceramic Panerai Black Seal Radiomir.


I've been a huge fan of Panerai watches for a while despite their recent increasing popularity. I'm really feeling the Radiomir style of Panerais opposed to the Luminors because of its vintage classic beauty. This limited edition Black Seal variant's case is constructed out of hi tech ceramic. It's not only cool, but it will help retain it's original finish by reducing scratches compared to PVD finishing. Look out for the 1950 in ceramic that's rumored to be released...

FN SCAR vs. Magpul MASADA.



I think it's pretty evident that the MASADA takes some styling cues from the SCAR. The SCAR has been around for a bit and is supposed to be available to citizens in late 2008. It hasn't been announced when the MASADA will drop. But apparently Magpul has inked a deal with Bushmaster to handle distribution.
Either rifle will be an interesting take on the archaic M16. Both are made from light weight high density polymer, feature ambidex. controls, and will have versions that will fire the 5.56 NATO and the older 7.62 NATO round . Before, I couldn't wait for the SCAR to release, but I'm def leaning towards the MASADA.
