Hedge fund still hammering? Time to celebrate by hopping on Denver-based Ecosse Moto Works’ Titanium Series Supercharged Edition. For the price of a Lamborghini Gallardo (plus or minus a month’s worth of manicures), this sweet $230,000 superbike delivers a hand-built titanium frame, a supercharged billet aluminum engine, and enough bespoke details to reduce a billionaire to tears. Tossed into the high-tech mix of carbon fiber and aerospace aluminum are old-school touches like hand-painted pinstriping and metal surfaces polished to a velvety sheen. But forget all the museum-worthy minutiae; this baby’s got the subtlety of a Bunker Buster, and the power to cause about as much damage.

Which flat-screen HDTV is right for your living room? Miracle at St. Anna director Spike Lee tests the best.
CINEPHILE
Pioneer Elite Kuro HDTV PRO-111FD 50-inch Plasma $5,000
The Lowdown: Home theater obsessives swear by Pioneer’s best sets, which for years have produced deeper blacks than anybody else’s in the game. Well, hold your Criterion Collection—the new ’08 models make darks five times darker. An “optimum mode” uses light and sound sensors to automatically calibrate the brightness level and ambient light color in your porno lair, er, home theater.
Spike’s Take: “It’s not a scientific test, but obviously this set is gorgeous. Everybody knows about Pioneer Kuros. I have two of ’em in my offices.”

Featherweight camp gear for climbing high without breaking your back.
The Perfect Pitch
At 30.5 square feet, the Marmot Aura Tent sleeps two and sits four comfortably yet weighs barely four pounds. The secret? Smartly angled, offset DAC aluminum poles—15 percent lighter than traditional ones—that raise the roof, Arsenio style, to increase head space. And a mesh canopy lets you soak up the sun while your significant other hunts and gathers. $299, marmot.com |

Moon Man
Omega Alaska Project Limited Edition, $5,500
In the ’70s, engineers designed this radical red watch for astronauts; its anodized aluminum casing endures extreme temp variations of up to 400 degrees in space. Newly reissued with the classic Omega 1861 chrono in a limited edition of 1,970, the awesomely astral ticker should help you make it through Space Mountain, even if the A/C breaks down. omegawatches.com
