Top 10 Wicked Designs on Motorbike Helmets
Giving up the luxury of staying dry in a car for the economical convenience of a motorbike doesn’t mean you can’t get soggy in style.
With the rising cost of petroleum and gasoline, many people are turning to motorbikes as a fuel efficient locomotive during the current fuel crisis. Cars offer simple luxuries such as protection from the weather and adequate storage space. But if you’re going to get rained on, snowed on and hailed on, you might as well get soggy in style.
Freaking out the neighborhood children is a top priority when choosing your biker gear. Why stop at a simple airbrushed skull design on your helmet when you can wear a leather suit reminiscent of an anorexic model?
Although wearing full body armor made from iron is not an option on a motorcycle, you can still look as awesome as Iron Man. The helmet and visor have been airbrushed with shiny metallic paint to feed your glossy Iron Man obsession.
Express your love for either the naughty or nice Spiderman with a black or red Spidey helmet. He climbs walls, spins webs and now wears a hardcore leather jacket and carries an organ donor card.
Or, if you find yourself rooting for the baddies in every Spiderman movie, try the Venom helmet on for size. Although you may think it would be awkward to see past Venom’s sharp teeth, the visor has been airbrushed in such a way that peering out from the abyss of Venom’s mouth has never been easier.
If you’re a fan of the Alien vs Predator movies, ride a bike and wish Halloween was every day, this Predator airbrush design is the one for you. Complete with plenty of pointy fangs and a piercing glare, you’ll find you have the right of way on the roads more often than not.
Sweet Tooth the Clown from the video game, Twisted Metal, has given up his combat ice cream truck for all the jollies of riding a motorbike. However, creating Sweet Tooth’s flaming hairdo is left up to the biker.
These helmets offer unlimited amusement for the wearer, as small children and elderly woman flee the scene in terror.
Why bother with a gas guzzling car when you can enjoy the economical and endless entertainment provided by motorbikes and the gear that goes with them?

real mohawks are cool though, not as cool as they were in the 80’s though, when they really meant something.

Hey!
That first photo is of me! In My helmet I purchased a couple years ago from Weirdbeard! It’s not nice to steal images and make claim to them. For a real quality bucket and some bad ass graphics go with the real artist of that first image!

The first picture, the only one with a motorcycle in it is of a brother of mine, & he wants it known that the helmet was NOT done by “Helmet Guy”, but a friend of his that does awesome work himself, & is called WeirdBeard. His art can be seen at WeirdBeardGear.com
This is not to take away from HelmetGuy, as his work looks great, but gotta give credit where credit is due!

THIS GUY IS STEALING IMAGES FROM SHAWN MCGUIRE! YOU REALLY WANT TO HELP A THIEF OR SUPPORT A TRUE ARTIST. THE FIRST OF THESE IMAGES IS THE WORK OF ANOTHER VERY TALENTED INDIVIDUAL AND IS BEING SOLD HERE AS THIS GUYS ART. (( NOT )) YOU WANT THE BEST? GO TO http://WWW.WEIRDBEARDGEAR.COM
NOW THIS GUYS OTHER WORK LOOKS PRETTY COOL, BUT YA HAVE TO LOSE SOME RESPECT FOR THE HELMET GUY IF HE IS USING IMAGES NOT AUTHORIZED BY SHAWN MCGUIRE. MAYBE IF THIS GUY PAID SHAWN A ROYALY, BUT HE IS NOT.
LISTEN THERE IS PLENTY OF WORK OUT THERE FOR EVERYONE, DON’T STEAL FROM A BROTHER IT JUST CREATES A BAD VIBE IN THE MOTORCYCLE INDUSTRY/COMMUNITY.

Shawn McGuire @ weirdbeardgear.com
Would be the person I would go to… He does HIS own work and doesn’t have to show examples of other people’s work to say I can do it just like they can… I have checked out quite a bit of his work over the past year… I wanted to buy a motorcycle he had custom paint “By his Very Own Hand” but couldn’t… Shawn is the REAL McCoy not the copy….

I been looking for something like this for AGES!
I tried to explain to a airbrush artist about painting on the helmet and the visor, and he said u cant paint on the visor (which is understandable) and i thought of that perforated print stuff (i tried to explain that ages ago u used to get glasses with eyes printed on the lens, and couldnt he do that) he had no clue what I was on about.
Now i see someone has done it
Where can i find these in SA?
