There's no way I'm missing out on this again. MOONEYES 2010...I'm there!
Old School Helmets - Pinstripe your helmet!
I've been eyeing off a Biltwell open face helmet for some time new and due to a couple of sales I made on eBay I decided it was time to make the purchase. The new range of Mega Flake open face helmets look outstanding and the Root Beer colour was my fave.
So as always before I made my purchase I did a bit of research about the helmets and thankfully came across a post on The Jockey Journal by Josh from Old School Helmets.
Old School Helmets will take a brand new Bitwell or Fulmer (V2) helmet and will create a beautifully Pinstriped and leafed helmet to your liking. So I spent a bit of time looking through the helmets they had done in the past, picked out my favorite design features and threw in a personal nickname to boot (it just happened to be old skool...coincidence or was it meant to be?). I contact Josh with details about the helmet I wanted and the designed I was after and he got me a price by the next day.
You may remember in my post about Josh's Yamaha XS650 bobber a while I mentioned that he works at G&L Choppers so Old School Helmets is a side project of his...this said he turned around my helmet in record time and I had it in my hands in a little bit over 2 weeks...which is incredible seeing as we live on opposite sides of the globe!
Josh was even kind enough to document the making of my helmet and send me through some pics which you can scroll through below.
My custom pinstriped Biltwell helmet looks even better in the flesh and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Old School Helmets to anyone looking for a custom open face lid. Visit the website and drop Josh an email to get him started on your own pinstriped creation.
Oh and by the way Josh can spell...my friends however always found it more amusing to refer to me as "old skool"...my friends are all retarded.

Brad Pitts Bobbers
Actor Brad Pitt certainly loves his motorcycles (as does his wife Jolie) but some of his coolest two machines are his bobbers.
His collection of custom Bobbers are all based around Harley Davidson motors and you can be sure they weren't cheap to build.
No one can deny the guy certainly has plenty of style and good taste.
Nothing Fancy by Atom Bomb Customs
Built by Atom Bomb Custom Motorcycles this 1970 Triumph TR6R named Nothin’ Fancy took home the ‘Inspiration Award’ and Best Motorcycle award at this years Detroit Autorama.
Here's what they have to say about the bike on their website...
"This 1970 TR6R arrived at Atom Bomb as a basket case engine with matching front frame loop. During construction of this bike the now signature Atom Bomb weld on rigid rear section was developed, contributing to the deceptively simple appearance...
Nothin' Fancy continues the Atom Bomb trend of distilling a motorcycle down to the barest essentials, blending form and function into a very rideable package. Nothing Fancy was completed just in time for the 2009 Detroit Autorama, where the bike recieved the "Inspiration Award" from Dan Webb, as well as Best Motorcycle. In addition, Nothin' Fancy will be the subject of a feature in an upcoming issue of Iron Horse Magazine."
Nothing fancy is an intersting name for this bike as fancy is all I see here.
Bid on a BSA Bobber
Spotted this awesome BSA A65 Bobber on eBay today. She's had a full rebuild down to the last bolt and has only done 20 mils since the rebuild was done.
The lines on this bike are beautiful. Simple straight pipes, straight bars with minimal pull back and barebones wiring. It's clean as hell and looks the business.
This 650cc BSA A65 Bobber is located in Chico, CA, USA. Bidding ends soon and current bid stands at $6,499USD. If you've got the cash you'd be a fool to miss it.
Bobbed Norton
Easily the best Norton Bobber I've ever seen. Not so sure about the headlights ability to light the way down there but it looks cool.
Solid
Gotta love the rear wheel on this Triumph Bobber. But you always gotta question the weight disadvantages these rims have over old school wire rims.
