The rider takes long time to get ready in this video. You can hear the rider closing the choke at 0:25. Seems like the bike is leaking gas from carb or something, she checks the bike after that.
At 0:55 mark, the met will be placed on the doggie.
The rider will not mount the bike till 1:38 mark.

Brembo is a company known for their awesome braking systems on high-performance motorcycles and cars. In collaboration with Newmax, they created a line of helmets. Besides looking great, the helmets are extremely safe and comfortable, so they say... The helmets are equipped with an innovative Automatic Fit Belt and a unique shape of the visor. Two models are available, the B-jet, an open style helmet , and the B-tech a full-face helmet. Via: Brembo

The God Helmet.
This is based on the research of Dr. Michael Persinger, a neuroscientist. Dr. Persinger's experiments claimed to show that almost every religious experience, including the sense that one was being watched or not alone could be recreated by electromagnetic impulses to certain parts of the brain. Of course, just because these experiences can be duplicated by his electromagnetic impulses does not mean that this is the only way they can be had. These experiments were not designed to make such a universal declaration. It should be noted, that Dr. Persinger's experiments have been questioned by other scientists.

Boba-Met

I liked Boba -Fett when I was a kid. He was a bounty hunter and looked really cool. But He did not do much and died rather stupid, kinda red-neck way in the StarWars movie(VI).
George Lucas focused bit more on the character in new installment of Star Wars movies(I, II, III,) due to the popularity gained from the second one(SW V). Boba's dad, clone and stuff...But I don't remember. I saw those new ones only once in the theater and leaving unsatisfied.

Rear Access Helmet
Monday, August 29, 2011 | 0 comments
Motorcycle helmet's biggest dilemma is that it has to be snug to protect the head but in case of accident, paramedic would have hard time removing it from the victim without disturbing the head or the neck. It takes two person to do that job safely. Australia's John Vozzo first came up with rear access helmet - with the release of one pin and two clips, the back of the helmet detaches and the front can be slid off. What? it is safer to have two parts helmet? They actually claim that the met offers more protection to the jaw and temples than traditional full-face helmets, and to have a smoother, rounder exterior with less snag points. This is said to result in it being less likely to catch on obstacles, in the event of an accident. The Voztec helmet prototype is currently in its fifth generation and we might be able to see them on shelf pretty soon.

The Reevu MSX1 Rear View helmet is on sale. What the heck is it? Just watch the video. You know having side mirrors takes off at least 1-2 mph on top speed?
By wearing this met, you can see enemy approaching from behind as well. Neat, huh?
Irony...

The Associated Press reports that Phillip A. Contos of Parish, N.Y., was riding with others through the town of Onondaga on Saturday afternoon without head protection, to protest the state’s requirement that bikers wear helmets.
State Troopers told the Syracuse Post-Standard that Contos was driving a 1983 Harley Davidson when his bike fishtailed and he flipped over the handlebars, striking his head on the pavement. He was later pronounced dead at Upstate University Hospital. Police say that had he been wearing a helmet, Contos would probably have survived the accident.
The ride was organized in part by ABATE (American Bikers Aimed for Education), according to a local ABC affiliate reporting on the accident. A spokesperson for the group said they didn't know if Contos was a member.
Many motorcycling enthusiasts have fought against helmet laws, saying they infringe on personal rights and that studies on helmet laws impacting safety have been skewed. Michigan is currently considering a repeal of its helmet law, which has passed the senate but still needs to move through the legislature and be signed by Governor Rick Snyder.

At least he died free? I wonder if rest of those ABATE members kept on going protesting..
Custom Met

As many of you guys know, we are kind of geeks; so we love the combinations of geeky stuff and gear head stuff. I stumbled upon, a YouTuber Tigerpause444's creation the other day. He has created six modified motorcycle helmets, that deeply influenced by geeky movie and video games. They don't only protect your cranium, but also alter your voice and looking cool lighting up and shit.
They all looking pretty good and cool but he reminds you that bolting screws into a helmet violates Department of Transportation rules, jeopardize integrity of the structure of the helmet and also can result in getting a ticket if caught on a motorcycle with them. Hell, here in Kansas, it doesn't matter since we don't have to wear anything on the head as long as you are over 18. He also warns that these helmets are not going to protect your noggin from the dangers on the road. But so many people ride bikes with outfit concerning how they look around here than safety, so his disclaimer is really moot in this Mid-West.
