Well, think again. Here’s a video from back when an old dented bucket on top of your head was considered the highest safety standards. And I don’t think Monty Python was born back then so they can’t have been involved. But it’s clear where they got their inspiration.  Keep reading

Just a quick announcement to celebrate that Helmet Hair - Motorcycle Blog reached 500 subscribers this morning. Thanks a lot to all of you who subscribe.

You might have forgotten, or at least you don’t think about it much. But if you really try to recall, what is the first memory you have about motorcycles? When did the bug bite? Here’s when the bug bit me I didn’t really have motorcycles in my life when I was a kid, so as far as [...] Keep reading

Yea, well it’s a pocket bike but never the less. I know I’m probably on thin ice here concerning both animal welfare and the seriousness of the blog, but what the heck. Think of the possibilities. Next step is to train the little fellow to drive down to the local store and pick a six [...] Keep reading

You got to have some balls to try this one. Guess it’s sorta logical that it’s possible, with people riding upside down in cages and all. But doing it on cliffs and with a drop like that, yeiks!  Keep reading

Check out this video review of the Ducati Hypermotard. Doesn’t really say much about the bike other than listing the features, but there’s some nice footage of the bike in action. I’ve seen the bike up close, and it looks even better for real and surprisingly small and compact for a 1100cc bike. Not a [...] Keep reading

Yea, it’s that time again. The day you’ve been waiting for all winter…and as usual the weather gods decide to throw some shit in your face. The photo is of my fabulous winter ride taken yesterday. The funny part is that it’s the most snow we’ve seen all freaking winter, and of course it has to [...] Keep reading

Orange County Choppers launched their production motorcycle brand a while back. Here’s a video made by motorcycleUSA that takes a closer look. Personally I find the OCC guys a bit lame. But they know how to establish a good business that’s for sure. Forced to pick one of their production bikes, I’d lean towards the [...] Keep reading

Here’s an excellent video from the seventies when it was popular to jump over insane amounts of cars, trucks and what not. This is the stuff legends are made of. Sadly though “Super Joe” Einhorn payed the price after just a few years of success, where a serious crash left him brain damaged. Noticing the helmet [...] Keep reading
