In Indonesia, the Honda Tiger GL200 is a popular commuter bike—a simple and low-cost thumper with nondescript plastic bodywork. Actually, nondescript is not the right word: it’s an eyesore. According to Deus Bali, the bike comes out of the Honda factory looking pretty ugly. It’s covered in spaceship-esqe plastic covers and faux chrome pieces, which do it no justice. So Deus stripped the Tiger down until it was nothing but frame and brackets. They then ground, welded and molded the chassis, binning extraneous mounts and beefing up where required. The result has been dubbed the Tiger’s Milk, and the bike you see here is the first of three, with a comprehensive spec sheet including a custom tank, exhaust, seat and fenders. The headlight is from a Harley-Davidson, and the taillight is from Posh Factory in Japan. A Daytona speedo is mounted on Ventura bars, fitted with BSA grips. The engine breathes a little easier thanks to a K&N air filter, while Icon shocks keep the back end under control. Deus Bali has transformed the humble GL200 into the kind of bike you just want to jump on and ride, and the price is a reasonable 70,000,000 Indonesia Rupiahs—just under $8,000 — via Bike EXIF

Last year, Swiss watchmaker Corum turned a lot of heads with its launch of the limited edition Deep Hull 48, the brand’s first extreme dive watch and one with an imposing look and impressive 1,000 meter water resistance. This year, Corum is releasing two more models in the range — and wow am I excited — these watches look great. Today I’m going to show you the new Corum Seafender 46 — think of it as a slightly less imposing version of the Deep Hull 48. Toned down (albeit slightly) are the case size — 46mm, and the water resistance — 300 meters. The titanium case, matching titanium buckle (on the vulcanized rubber strap), and other features remain intact. These changes will not only make the watch more wearable, but also more affordable (at ~$7,800 the Deep Hull was already very competitively priced) — via Perpetuelle.com Blog

This tower studio [Centerbrook Architects and Planners] is the latest addition to a musician’s residence that includes her home and a detached music studio. A master violinist and music teacher who performs around the world, the client wanted to expand her house by adding a tower studio that would regale her with treetop views as she practiced, alone, with students, or fellow musicians — via ArchDaily

This is the new Franck Muller Giga Tourbillon, and what a looker it is. The aptly named watch features a whopping 20mm diameter tourbillon which dominates the entire lower half of the watch. Franck Muller claims this it the largest tourbillon ever incorporated into a wristwatch. The highly skeletonized watch is awe inspiring with its sweeping curves and arcs, the focal piece being the elegant “M” (and the somewhat hard to see “F”) that sits directly on top of the tourbillon cage — lest you forget this piece is anything other than a Franck Muller! — via Perpetuelle.com Blog

The Red house [Jarmund/Vigsnæs AS Architects MNA] is located in the western suburbs of Oslo.

The site for the house is a former garden on the east bank of a heavily wooded river valley. The building is placed perpendicular to the stream, to heighten the dramatic potential of the setting and to avoid obstructing the view for the house beyond — via ArchDaily

You see quite a few Kawasaki W650 customs around these days. But when photographer Gregor Halenda sent me these shots of Dave Seidman’s bike, I knew we had something special. Dave is a writer by trade, and he has a way with words as well as motorcycles — via Bike EXIF

Is it a garage or an art gallery with a Ferrari parked in it? Brentwood resident Holger Schubert’s 1984 Ferrari 512 BBi Boxer makes its home in a 1,200-square-foot space that recently won Maserati and Architectural Digest’s Design Driven contest for best garage. Schubert’s garage — hereafter I use the word with an asterisk of skepticism ? is breathtaking. Beautiful. Exquisite. But where are the tools, the work benches, the girlie calendars? Schubert concedes that it isn’t a typical, oil-on-the-floor garage, and he’s comfortable with that. I wanted to create a backdrop for the car as a piece of art, he says — via Architecture Blog
