Zenith reached: once this happens it’s game over for the hipster bikers, surely?
Posted

OK, maybe the custom-thing isn’t actually over as such – but we’re all a bit open-jawed having seen these pictures. This was a 1996 Honda XR650L that’s been given a, quote: “More rugged and ready-for-anything aesthetic”. Umm… OK. It looks quite ridiculous to us, but someone out there loves it enough to have it built…

Check this amazing video out of a genuinely-lovable biking nutter and his mates having a laugh with a 50cc bike and plastic-covered rear tyre. There’s not that much more that we can say about this other than it’s REALLY made us laugh today and it’s just joyous. We’ve got two videos for you here –…

Video: Bloke falls asleep whilst riding a scooter… and drops it (naturally)
Posted

We were sceptical about this the first time we watched this video of a guy in Thailand apparently falling asleep on a scooter – but having watched it a few times it’s starting to look pretty real to us. Have a watch yourself and see what you think. He’s weaving all over the place and…

Video: The three-second long police chase ends in biker fail. It’s bad enough that he’s going to jail, but he also has to live with the shame of an internet biker fail. Police in Sandy Springs, Georgia USA, were recording on their dash cam when a motorcycle rider decided to run. But he made it an…

Video: Pannier-riding pillion styles it up in a Santa hat… nope, we don’t know why
Posted

So this video has just popped up on YouTube. Nothing really to say about it other than it’s a guy wearing a Santa hat riding a bike. He’s riding it by squatting on top of a massive metal pannier set used to transport hot lunches around India. Not entirely sure how the throttle’s being kept…

Yamaha patents stop/start technology. Yamaha has filed a patent for an auto-stop scooter. The design is not model specific but a patent at this stage usually means that the technology will be included on a current model for the following year’s run – so expect this to be included in some 2017 model.

Neko helmets – Cool for cats
Posted
by
We thought we’d seen it all after the Batman helmet. Turns out we were wrong, very wrong. We have just spotted the Neko helmets that are sold on a Russian website, and they are, well, something else. They look more like Hello Kitty masks than helmets, and the design doesn’t stop at adding massive ear…
