Motorcycle Helmet Safety - Smart motorcycle helmet
Here are the conclusions of a study from the National Center for Statistics and Analysis:
Both the design and materials used in manufacturing motorcycle helmets have improved

protecting against fatal head injuries. Despite the improvement in effectiveness, from 29

take advantage of the protection afforded by helmets. The weakening or repeal of
compulsory helmet use laws in many states has been shown to be associated with a
dramatic drop in the percentage of motorcyclists who wear helmets.

Arizona Desert Chopper Motorcycle Ride

The sun cracks down on the Arizona desert, baking the endless expanse of ochre sand and gnarled cacti into a mirage-shimmering tableau.

In the distance, a low rumble grows, like thunder chewing on gravel. It’s not a storm, though—it’s the guttural roar of a pack of high-powered choppers, engines throbbing like iron hearts, bearing down on this desolate frontier. (more…)

Eddie Trotta Chopper

One beautiful long, lean, minimalistic chopper motorcycle.

Wow, this is one good looking chopper. There’s so many custom touches to this bike that it would take me forever to list them all but if I had to pick just the most important, at least in my humble mind, I would say it’s the fact that there is absolutely no break or coach cables exposed. (more…)
