Everything looks better from inside of a motorcycle helmet.

We found this advertisement that says, "Everything looks better from inside of a motorcycle helmet."
Have you also found that most chicks also look better wearing a motorcycle helmet?  I sure have.

A motorcycle helmet is the best accessory for a lady with a million dollar body and a food stamp face!

Product write up of the week!

skull-crossbones-face-mask
skull crossbones face mask
How, exactly, shall we address the trend of eco-consciousness that’s sweeping the fashion world like a bulldozer through a rain-forest? Should our Red Skull Crossbones Neoprene Face Mask, for example, be crafted from composted coffee grounds and fair-trade dreadlocks, with buttons molded from small-batch organic tofu?

On the contrary! This Red Skull Crossbones Neoprene Face Mask represent the epitome of fashion contrarianism — why, it’s woven into their very fabric! Our militant fans insist that this Red Skull Crossbones Neoprene Face Mask be different at all costs, even if a rookery of Emperor penguins is vaporized in the process.

That’s why our engineers set out to create the most environmentally unfriendly Neoprene Face Mask ever. They might look “green,” but rest assured that they were fabricated using the most diabolical, Gaia-dissing methods possible. It’s what you asked for. We hope you’re happy.

So, exactly how un-green is the Red Skull Crossbones Neoprene Face Mask?

  • The factory we built to produce 'em is made of only the stoutest, most ancient redwoods, transported via smoke-belching steamships from the forests of Northern California to a leaky, repurposed oil platform that was thoughtfully anchored to the Great Barrier Reef.
  • This Red Skull Crossbones Neoprene Face Mask was sewn with thread came from the fibers of the now-extinct Cattus Vinum flower, which had contained a pollen that scientists believed could cure every form of cancer.
  • Thanks to their steady, nimble paws, the actual sewing was performed by a leap of endangered snow leopards.
  • Each Red Skull Crossbones Neoprene Face Mask was glazed with 20 pounds of ozone-destroying chlorofluorocarbons to ensure that the fabric stays soft and supple through repeated washings
  • It was then flown around the world 15 times, for no particular reason.

New DOT Stickers

We have now changed our DOT Stickers. Why have we changed them? Because these are the ones that are really used on DOT motorcycle helmets.

Will our DOT stickers fool the cops? No, any cop can look at a helmet and see that it is a novelty helmet. How can he tell? Easy, if the motorcycle helmet does not look like a mushroom on your head, then it must be a novelty helmet and not DOT approved!

Skull face masks

Say what you will about Iron Horse Helmets, but you can't fault our ability to pander. So when we noticed that our skull face masks have been selling like gangbusters lately, we thought "MOAR BONY SKULLS!"

We are therefore thrilled to announce that, starting today, we will only sell designs that feature cute, bony members of the human family. We're calling it "Skull.Ironhorsehelmets," and it's going to revolutionize the way the world shops for skull masks online.

Hey hey, hey -- where are you going? We're still going to sell your favorite funny, pop-culture designs! They will just feature a SKULL Doctor Who and a Bone Captain Picard instead of those boring ol' horses.

What's that? Zan has started selling badger masks? BLAST IT. They're always one step ahead.

Robyn does not know us well!

We received a email from Robyn asking "we want to buy 2 animal motorcycle helmet covers could you provide me with a good price for both pleeeeaaase x x."

Robyn obsessively does not know the Iron Horse Helmets sarcasm team very well.  First, we would never offer a discount to someone who does not capitalize the beginning of a sentence.  

Second, you spelled please wrong.  

Third, I saw this picture at a local coffee shop and I thought I would share it with you:

Motorcycle helmet gets built-in heads-up display

Would-be RoboCops will love this.
Motorcycle helmet gets built-in heads-up display
Reevu
Reevu, inventors of the world’s first motorcycle helmet with a built-in rear view mirror, has now enhanced that system with a heads up display.

Overlaid onto a mirror just above the wearer’s line of site, the display is being developed to provide various types of information for racers and road riders, including GPS and performance data, engine diagnostics and communications.

Reevu is working on a motorsports version first, and the British company tells FoxNews.com that it will be about 18-24 months before an accredited product is available, but expects prices to start at about $1,000.

In the meantime, you could pick up one of Reevu’s standard flip-front helmets for $479.95 and try jamming a Google Glass in there, but good luck getting your hands on one of those.

Man recounts how helmet saved him in motorcycle crash

MILLINGTON, MI (WNEM) -
We've all heard how crucial it is to wear a helmet when riding a bike or a motorcycle, but a local man is now putting that advice in perspective after surviving a motorcycle crash.

That crash sent him sliding down a street and he says his helmet saved his life.

"I know a lot of guys who wouldn't put a helmet on for a six-mile ride," said crash survivor Byron Drew. He said a simple decision to wear a helmet on his motorcycle is the reason he's alive today.

"The couple of seconds it took for me to put my helmet on in the morning, I think saved my life," said Drew.

The Millington resident has ridden motorcycles for 20 years without ever being in an accident, until Tuesday morning, when he hit a deer less than a mile away from his house.

"I remember sliding down the road and seeing nothing but sparks because my bike was sliding down the road," recalled Drew.

He walked away from the accident with some large scrapes across his body, but his wife Heather says without a helmet, Drew's injuries could have been much worse.

I can't imagine what his head would look now like if there hadn't been anything there to protect it," said Heather Drew.

TV5 visited the site of the crash, where blood and skid marks from the accident are still visible on the pavement.

"A $75 helmet is worth pennies compared to what it could have cost my wife and family," said Drew.

The state allows motorcyclists to decide for themselves whether to wear a helmet or not. Drew hopes his story encourages other riders to also choose to wear a helmet.

"I'm choosing to live because of a $75 helmet and the few seconds to put it on, now I hope to be around for 45 more years," said Drew.

The Center for Disease Control says helmets reduce the risk of death by 37 percent. The state of Michigan has what's called a partial helmet law, which requires anyone 20 years or under to wear one.

Are your novelty helmets DEA Approved?

We received a call today from someone asking, "Are your novelty helmets DEA Approved?"

Well, the DEA has never told us not to sell helmets and I don't think there is a pocket in them to hold Cocaine, so yes, yes our novelty helmets are DEA Approved.

The Luxy Helmet is finally here!

Luxy Motorcycle Helmet
The Luxy Helmet is finally here! It has real red leather on the inside and all the ladies will love it.
Luxy is an iconic woman’s motorcycle helmet used during commutes and casual motorcycle riding.

The concept is inspired by Sixties Mod Era and hairstyles to bring an iconic fashion style into current helmets. Since many riders are women, the distinct and unique look give it a competitive edge from existing helmets. It also inspires women to be proud and glamorous riders.
This motorcycle helmet is retro and modern at the same time....So Cool!

Available in all sizes XS-XL. Please refer to the Size Chart page for your size.

Please note that this helmet is novelty at this time. Because of such high demand, cheapness of our boss and pure laziness in management.....We have not had time to test it for DOT certification yet.
