I hope those things are just a joke.  Maybe if you were planning on going into battle.

Haven't seen a good old fashioned motorcycle jousting event in years.  Those used to be surprisingly common at festival weekends and road shows.  The crowds at such things were usually weird-in-a-good-way too.  Made for good honest even if not quite wholesome fun.  Of course bike rallies and Burning Man didn't used to be wholly corporate events either.  Man, I miss weird dirty old traveling carnivals...

Is one of them wearing one?

[southtxcruiser]

  different yes... practical no.....

Anyone remember a trashy (in a good way) old movie called Knight Riders or Knights that Ride or something like that?  Came from the probably stoned mind of someone that seen a few of the 60s and 70s travelling circuses.

David Hasselhoff was in that one

Found it!  "Knightriders."  1981.  Even had Ed Harris in it.  Didn't remember that nearly as much as I did the bikes and occasional nudity. 

Spoiler alert:

The ending seemed cool to a 20 year old.  The anti-hero was dispirited that his utopian travel-circus was coming to an end so he rides head on in to a semi as the film fades to black.

That would have too much of a stereotype to be correct  .  Cool though.  Unfortunately The Hoff doesn't show up in the credits:

Good news.  It's on Netflix!

Rather than get one of these, I think I'll go for the Hannibal Leichter version, made of leather and makes you look a little like a movie star.

I was making funny  Knightrider as in Kit the talking Trans Am

but George Romero is the guy that was responsible for Night of the living Dead, Dawn of the Dea and Day of the dead

Does anyone have a Solid State Cover face shield?  I just saw these things advertised and would like to know if anyone has experience with them.  Here is a link to thier site: www.solidstatecovers.com 

       

Just to make a statement I'm not affiliated with solid state covers I actually own one and it actually saved my a $$ one day so don't be quick to knock these covers. I was doing 70 down the interstate and took a fairly large rock to the face. I wear half helmets and figured my solid state was gonna be a good investment and damn straight it was! Some idiot was drivin with an uncovered bed full of gardening rocks and one came off the back of his truck about the size of a large marble at 70 mph and slammed me right in the face it hit me hard enough to wench my head back and make me see stars! If it wasn't for my solid state cover I pry would have been dead! So for all the people who mock this product or have smart sh*t to say your just being ignorant and judging with out having facts. I personally still have my first solid state cover that saved my a $$ and ordered another one since the first one got smashed!

[spydglide]

wow.  I'd like to see the smashed shield, if you could post a pic.  spyder
