Your motorcycle helmet can be the difference between life and death and one of the most crucial considerations when you buy a helmet is that it fits you correctly.

That’s where the Scorpion EXO-1000 (pronounced as ‘ex-oh’ I believe) has a major advantage, with a new and innovative solution to comfort and safety using advanced helmet technology.

Where the EXO-1000 really differs is in its unique Airfit system. This is basically an air bladder situated behind each cheek pad that the wearer is able to inflate via an unobtrusive pump inside the chinbar.

This continually ensures a great fit and also helps to reduced wind noise. One press of another neatly hidden button and the Airfit system deflates to make removal easier.

Another exceptional feature of this lid is the outer shell. This is made of a tri-fibre composite of fibre glass, Kevlar and Dyneema - claimed to be the Worlds strongest fibre – so all in all, one damn tough hombre!

For added comfort there is a kwickwick inner liner which wicks moisture quickly and effectively away from the riders head.

The Everclear anti fog visors are made in Canada. I reckon those boys know a thing or two about riding in the cold and the system works exceptionally well without the need for a secondary insert and you can whip the visor off in seconds when the need arises.

There is also an internal sun visor, which can prove priceless, especially at this time of year.

The model shown here is the Sublim, which has a very high quality and unusual matt and gloss dual paint scheme. There are other colour variations too all of which are finished to the same superb standard and all of which look just as sexy!

What more can I say. I sell motorcycle helmets everyday so it takes a lot for something new to impress me but I can honestly say that the EXO-1000 has done exactly that.

Scorpion helmets also come with a 3 year warranty.

As Honda celebrates 50 years of racing, the CBR600RR holds an enviable position at the head of its class. A tally of seven consecutive World Supersport victories was made all the more impressive in 2008 by Honda domination of the top three places in the WSS championship. Continue

Celebrated worldwide for its scorching speed and effortless agility, the CBR1000RR Fireblade is an established icon of performance motorcycling. As Honda proudly celebrated its 50th year of racing at the 2009 Isle of Man TT, the CBR1000RR’s appetite for victory was insatiable; grabbing the top 5 places in the Superbike race, carrying John McGuinness to his 15th TT win and setting new lap and race records. Yet the ultimate sportsbike is not all about speed. ‘Total Control’ has been at the heart of its development since the Fireblade was first launched in 1992, and it has sped from success to success. Honda has continuously improved the ride experience that gives the rider unique confidence on both road and track. Continue

Ok… So you’re a WSB fan… before you can enjoy watching the 08 season review you’re going to have to prepare yourself for the somewhat annoying commentary by Jonathan Green (who for some reason reminds me of Michael Scott from the American version of The Office) - Why on Earth didn’t they commission Jack & Jamie?

From its very first appearance at Cologne’s International Motorcycle Show in 1992, the Ducati Monster was immediately noted for its character, originality and innovativeness. It was strange, essential, rebellious and unlike anything seen before, but it did not take long for this concept to become truly iconic, a trend-setter that would create a new segment in the market.
