Motorcycle: Poor Brad Pitt
2009-10-27 03:31:00 Leave the man alone already. Being on a motorcycle means something different to each individual rider. I do not pretend to know anything about Brad Pitt's life, but if he is anything like the rest of us, he is able to escape from quite a bit while riding his motorcycle. Even if it is for a short periods of time.There is something extremely therapeutic about operating a motorcycle. There is a long standing joke among motorcyclists; 'if everyone rode motorcycles, psychiatrists would be out of work.'So here is a guy (Brad Pitt), who is just looking for a little escape, some temporary privacy, and it is interrupted by the stress of paparazzi chasing him. The stress causes poor management of...

Getting a Motorcycle Helmet That is DOT Approved and Choosing a Model
2008-10-28 02:29:00 I doubt the first motorcycle helmet that came out which was invented by Gottlieb Daimler in 1885 was dot approved. Well back in his day a bike was not capable of the speeds that today’s bikes are. So there was likely not a need for helmets that were approved for a high impact crash. the department of transportation which is what DOT stands for did not start approving helmets until 1974 by introducing a Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard for motorcycle helmets. When you buy motorcycle helmets for yourself or for a biker you know make sure that the helmet has been DOT approved. What this means is basically that the manufacturer of the helmet has submitted their product for testing and approval with the Department of transportations. Once the motorcycle helmet bears the mark DOT Approved you can rest assured that it meets the standards for safety as set forth by the department of transportation. Snell is another entity that can approve a motorcycle helmet for safety, however t...
