EWWWWWWW

Thought that is what pony tails are for??

Blackwidow · January 12th, 2011, 10:48 AM

i believe staying in one certain position would get tiring real fast, its nice to have handle bars in variety of places.

Everytime I see someone with a mohawk on their helmet I want to yank them off the bike and use a belt on them like my dad use to do to me when I did something stupid that warranted a good beating.

This is the best thread ever.

Sailariel · January 12th, 2011, 07:04 PM

Reminds me of the city slicker who married a country girl. After the reception they hit the road in their car looking for a motel. They found one, and while they were registering, the clerk noticed the very shiny rings. He asked, "Would you like a bridal?" She said, "I don't think so--I'll just hold on to his ears"

I said something similar and my sister, who doesn't ride but wants to, and she objected saying that she thinks that they are cool and is going to fit one on her helmet when she gets her gear/bike. *shrug*

So, guys, take notice: Some chicks dig it.

ztrack157 · January 13th, 2011, 03:14 PM

As a wise ducati racer once told me. You know it's a like they seem to be a young minded. Still to dumb/ squidly to realize how ridiculous they look.

Well, my sister is 41 years old and never had an insurance-reportable traffic incident.

They look even more ridiculous in person. I saw someone with the tiger ears riding in front of me on the freeway once, and it made me laugh. More significantly though, this nutjob right here also got a pair:

(I was spending Halloween at the track, so it couldn't be helped. D-don't judge me. Haha, they stayed on fine most of the day, but I ended up losing one during the very last session. Hit the guy pitted across from me too

)

I personally have no qualms with the farkles that aren't compromising safety no matter how ridiculous I may think they look. It's all in good fun

Hahahaha, wait what's wrong with those? Reminds me of a stuffed animal haha

Live2ride · January 13th, 2011, 08:02 PM

Another great creation from Helmets Gone Wild. At least it's noticeable during the night.....and gay, o, I mean day.

Live2ride · January 13th, 2011, 08:07 PM

hehe, nice mustache.

It's described as a "functional" motorcycle helmet which decidedly isn't so. It isn't aerodynamic and the view is limited. Even if it's made from a real motorcycle helmet, the irregular shapes will affect impact absorption and dispersion. I wanna see it earn DOT and Snell in that state. HA!

Here is the photo. Truly ridiculous and worthy of inclusion.

+1!

I agree; as long as using the product doesn't cause some additional danger or it doesn't replace a proper safety item, I think it is all in good fun. Like, I used to laugh at the guys who put giant wings backwards on their Civics, thinking they were really just that stupid. After talking to some of them, I realize they just thought it would be hilarious to buy a $30 wing of Ebay and bolt it to the hood of their $600 car :P . I'm sure a lot of the people who wear the goofy-looking stuff (that doesn't compromose safety) are just doing it to be goofy.

Indy250r · January 18th, 2011, 07:48 PM

While browsing The Horse BC magazine, I found this jewel:

Zombiphone · January 18th, 2011, 08:26 PM

Whoa whoa whoa, hold up. There ain't nothing ridiculous about that:

Haha, awesome find

JMcDonald · January 18th, 2011, 08:59 PM

Ok, now THAT is ridiculous :P .

Studies showing bright color motorcycle helmet reduced accident rate? We don't need no stinkin' studies!

This has me wondering: How did he keep his feet on the pegs and stop at lights?

He's probably wearing them to do the "trick" where you slide off the back off your bike and sort of skate behind it while holding on the the back of the bike. Such as this (I think it's called ghost riding):

Either way he's an idiot...

Live2ride · February 6th, 2011, 10:47 PM

Check out this guys invisible gear! high tech stuff! someone lost a bet

MiniCog · February 7th, 2011, 05:10 PM

If I crashed naked, I'd probably rather die. Especially if I slid on my front side.

If he did lose a bet I just hope it wasn't during winter, that would bring a whole new meaning to the polar bear club.

I think if it was winter, the censored portion would be much smaller.
