From the early 1920’s right through to the 1980’s oil and gasoline companies used to hand out free road maps featuring their own company advertising. From a marketing perspective, it’s a very good idea and I’m surprised it isn’t more commonplace nowadays.
When it comes to helmet design, no one beats Ruby. This French company produces some of the best looking lids currently in production and before you dismiss them as mere toys, you might be interested to know that they’re certified by both the US DOT and the stringent European ECE 22.05.

Bikes aren’t the only thing Classified Moto does though, the above video was filmed by Mondial and shows John and his wife building one of the iconic Classified Moto lamps from start to finish.

I was crushingly disappointed although I should probably have realised that a turbine powered desert buggy would probably be illegal in every country except Somalia. I had initially thought it might be a modern reinterpretation of Steve McQueen’s famous Baja Boot buggy.
This remarkable and vividly detailed motorcycle is built from recycled materials, mostly spare parts from cars, motorcycles and bicycles at the Ko Art Shop in Bangkok.
Both George Jetson and I want one of these cars, badly.
