BMW R 18 The Crown Motorcycle

Dirk Oehlerking of Kingston Custom specializes in creating one-off BMW boxers out of a 100-year-old converted steel forge in Gelsenkirchen, Germany. BMW Motorrad is entering its 100th year of making motorcycles and tapped Oehlerking to lend his hand to a custom R 18 to mark the occasion. The result is The Crown, a unique take on streamliner speed bikes of the prewar era. Aside from the overall shape, the most striking feature of The Crown is the front suspension. Oehlerking engineered a custom front swingarm, eliminating the traditional telescoping fork, a feature seen on other BMW motorcycles over the years. The bodywork is hand formed in aluminum sheet, with tight-fitting slash-cut exhausts and a champagne and mother-of-pearl livery with gold accents and brass fasteners. For all the modifications, The Crown measures just two inches longer and weighs 88 pounds less than a stock R 18. The bike is on display at the BMW Motorrad Days in Berlin.

The KilgourMD Bundle

Stanford dermatologist Dr. James Kilgour's eponymous hair growth brand, KilgourMD, has been shown to outperform the popular minoxidil, which only works to regrow hair once it's gone. The KilgourMD Bundle, however, puts patients on the offensive, too, providing a dual-acting proactive and reactive solution to hair thinning and hair loss. In clinical studies, the system — which is made from natural, plant-derived extracts and comprises The Prevention Scalp Serum and The Treatment — decreased visible hair fall by up to 30% and stimulated hair follicle growth by up to 200% over two months. Save 15% when bundling.
