Jul 23 2010Safety Second: Novelty Motorcycle Helmets

motorcycle-helmets-1.jpg

Who cares if they're not DOT approved, they look cool. Safety can take a back seat to style any day, amirite? No, no that's a good way to die young and still leave a crappy looking corpse. Now I don't know how things work where you're from, but back in West Virginia it's considered an honor if Morty the mortician makes out with you after the embalming, and I come from a long line of the distinguish dead (we suspect he even stole my uncle's genitals).

Hit the jump for a bunch more, including slightly NSFW butt and breast helmets.

Thanks to rox and Dante, who don't wear helmets because they like to live dangerously. Ugh -- your parents must be so worried!

You don't need helmets, GW, your head is harder than the helmet

FRIST!
jk,
I want the tennis ball!

Wear the watermelon one and run ride your motorcycle through Detroit.

Omg! Is that guy's brain exposed?

If you were the butt helmet, does that make you a butt-head?

@ 5, John. Yes, yes it does.

similar concept to the luggage stickers and garage door covers.

i know it's not funny, but you know what else isn't funny? ipads

BRRAAAAPPP... erm.. s'cuse..

phew. finally finished. just read every geekologie post here.

I'm amazed it only took 3 weeks and 2 days.

GW, you are my hero.

@8 it took me 1 day, I did it last week IN YOUR FACE!!!!

Needs more Tron helmet >:O

If it's not DOT approved.. why wear it at all? are you telling me these people can't figure out how to decorate an approved helmet? Give me a break.

ummmmm those actually disturb me more than i think they should...

I LIKE IT

Meow still kinda a fail.

They're pretty sweet. The butt one is kinda sour.

I want the ass one so badly

where can i buy these helmet??

if i had a helmet as cool as these i'd probably wear it more often

awesome!!! =]

boob helmets for everyone, make it happen.

@21

You're a boob.

Ah, that's right, the GW doesn't post on weekends anymore, almost forgot. 'tis a shame.

I don't think these actually exist...

sad no joke juxtaposing "novelty motorcycle helmet" and "novelty eagle head". although i guess a new GW wouldn't know about novelty eagle heads.

OMG you gullible morons.

these are NOT REAL, they are not something offered for sale anywhere, these are just photos imposed over helmet photos.

Seems like even the most casual glance would let you know that the graphics on the helmets are DIFFERENT from every angle.

Christ, it's bad enough that GW gets taken in by every fucking hoax or faked photo that comes along, but do you all have to lap it up EVERY TIME??

@25. Where does it say they are real? They're just designs, cretin.
Now get your head out of your arse and Feck Off.

I like the globe one best.

Hmm... two things.

The helmet with the dude's head (the one with hair), the back halves were mirrored, and poorly patched, making it look completely fucking retarded, at least to me. And the dude's sideburn translates to a different position along the helmet at the second angle shown, which ruins the illusion.

What the heck is going on around here? I'm gone for 10 days and come back to hear that there is a new GW?! WTF? If it's ture, then you better hold on grasshopper cause this is a tough crowd. And where the hell is naas? MR. NAAS are you out there? HELLO! Don't make me e-mail you again, you know how your wife hates it when I clog up your inbox with names of porn stars. Anyway, hope you are doing something fun like drinking on some beach and chasing loose women with the real GW.

RIP GW, I hear he died in a car crash lastnight. Apparently he had too much booze. :( You will be missed, man.

The real gw used to post on weekends. The fact that this guy doesn't (and the sub-par writing) prove that this is not the real gw.

I want the eagle novelty head.

@5 I think it means you have shit for brains.... just sayin

@25. Where does it say they are real? They're just designs, cretin.

I'd say the point of claiming they're "not DOT approved" and the headline "novelty motorcycle helmets" sure sounds like SOMEONE thinks they're real. But then I guess a headline reading "photoshopped pictures of helmets" doesn't sound as interesting.

So I'd suggest you actually READ the article before posting snide comments about people. also, your vagina smells go wash it.

@28 notthelimejuice, yeah you're right, naas disappeared around the same time GW was fired. I've sometimes wondered if naas and GW were one and the same. But nah, I doubt it. Maybe naas is GW's real-life friend and isn't interested in a stranger's blog.

You ever think that maybe the GW is the same GW there's always been, only he's fed up with ungrateful readers trash talking his posts with "OLD/OMG FAKE/WHO CARES MY BOYFRIEND..." and so puts less effort in because he just feels he shouldn't waste his time anymore.

I'm sure after 6000 posts, if the GW did change, he would say something.

The Robots have taken me. Please send help.

@37: They just gave him a ban from the museum when they catched him fornicating with the life sized models. He'll be fine once he gets another dino-fix.

@37 He doesnt care about the comments. He just cares about the money. You ever notice that you ALWAYS have to click Read More to see the rest of the post? Its because when you click that link, it gets him pageviews, which makes the site more popular, which gets more money from ads, which gets him more money, which lets him get dinosaur action on his bed.

Commenters dont come in his plan, you are just a side-effect of having a blog. Also, i doubt he even reads the comments; Name a time when he has replied to someone.

@ 34, Dishy. My thoughts exactly. If the real GW has left I doubt naas would stick around. PROVE ME WRONG NAAS!!! But are you sure the real GW was fired? That's a pretty bold statement. I've been a loyal fan for only 2 years but can't imagine GW leaving without saying something. Anything on fb? I'm one of the 5 people on the planet that does not have a fb account, so I can't check. At least you're still here and Closet Nerd (STOMPY? anyone?)....grumble, grumble....humbug....

@40 imo GW does read the comments. Not responding directly to them is just his style, I like it, keeps things professional. That being said, he does sometimes makes reference to comments in his posts, and when some fucktard puts up a long ass comment of gibberish he will take it down. And, he did go through a lot of trouble to keep posts going when he moved to LA, he didn't have to.... just saying.

where is the halloween pumpkin version ??

These are not for sale, just a prototype. Who cares if they're shopped? It's a cool idea. However, you guys seem pretty gullible to believe what other people say on the internet, such as GW is dead. Go outside and read a book! The internet is obviously not helping you any.

WTF !!! The GW writer changed, without any goodbye from the original GW ??? I've visited this site for 2, 5 years now and I've noticed the change in the posts since two weeks. Will the REAL GW come back, or can I delete this site from my favorites? Thx for the info. Greetings from Italy.

To ALL:
Its still the same Geekologie Writer!!!!
I talk to him (and naas, two totally different people) through email and such from time to time. I assure you, it is still the same GW...... just sayin

@45 Closet Nerd. THANK YOU!!!! and thank God!

I have never understood amirite but just now I saw amiright on some saight and saw the similarities :D

Holy shit, people. Is he not allowed to take weekends off like almost everyone else? I agree with #37, though I doubt he would get fed up and not care because of the dating site bots (I mean, yeah they're annoying, but I don't think he'd let his post quality drop because of them,) I could see why he would be annoyed at all the assholes posting stupid comments.

So what if a post is old? Not everyone has seen it, lots of 'old' posts here I've never heard about until they were posted here, it's cool for me to see and I bet it's cool for other people to see who didn't know about that comic or joke or parody or what-ever-else-it-is before. Sure, the odd post may be about something fake, but GW probably knows that, but not everything out there is fake. I mean, even some photoshopped images can be pretty cool or funny.

that boob helmet has 3 nipples wtf!

@45 I'm not fully convinced.. but let's hope so, by goodness!
@37 & 48 WTF are you guys on ?

GW CANT BE GONE..... if he is what will this small cult of followers post on... i dont know any other sites to see the worlds stupidity. I see stupid people every day but not on THIS LEVEL. someone throw money at GW so he keeps writting so i can continue to pretend to work

Since everyone seems so mad about the "change" of GW, I will tell you the story.

The real GW got into a car accident not long ago and was hospitalized.
We wouldn't dare release this to the public because the GW thought that his loyal readers would get worried.

GW will be okay, I promise! Just a few more weeks and he'll be back to posting like his normal self!

He generously gave his admin position to me because he thought I was the most fit person.

It is true, we are friends in real life.

I'm deeply sorry if the posts don't feel the same, but I'm trying my best. Thank you everyone, and tell all your friends the message.

Shocking news !!.. To GW: Get well, get well, whatever you have;
We miss your great charm and fine wit.
There’s plenty of time to be ill later on,
So let's see you back, well and fit!

@ naas: great job !
A loyal reader

That'll do Naas. That'll do.

All hail Naas, temporary GW!

You're doing a great job by the way.
I'm sure it sucks having your friend injured and having to put up with these people, myself being one of them.

Hey look everyone I can say I'm naas too! This site has turned to crap and I am done.

@41 notthelimejuice, I was being glib when I said GW was fired. I have no inside info. And it seems pretty unlikely he'd be fired since he is/was doing a great job.

@45 Closet Nerd, for some reason I believe you. I also think you might be the GW although your writing style is nothing like. I'm sure GW reads the comments; I'd expect him to rejoin with an alias.

@52 naas, sorry don't believe you. You don't sound like naas. I might have believed if you hadn't claimed you were temp GW.

As I see it GW moved to LA for his career. Or be near his girlfriend. If it's career maybe he's getting busy with his other job, directing movies or something. Maybe he's still writing here but doesn't have much time for it anymore. And I'm sure being funny 6 times a day is a full-time job. As Leno once said, comedy is hard.

Most - if not all - of you guys need to get a life. Its not all about a blog...

Dude... that is one nasty looking nipple.

Oh damn, If I was right about the car accident thing when I was trolling. >_>

Dude, you are a [email protected] liar AND YOU KNOW IT!! Rumor spreading [email protected] sucker!

@57 I am not GW, but I take that as a compliment!!!
Trust me. I have no reason to lie.
"I calls 'em as I sees 'em.... whale biologist."
I bet GW does comment under an alias, but I honestly don't know what the alias is.
The only reason I know GW, is because he contacted me through facebook (by searching my email against all the links I've submitted, i guess) after I was convinced that there was a new GW.... i think his style just changes from time to time. But his commentary is fucking great!!! It always cracks me up!!! Use commentators come up with good lines here and there, but have you ever really thought about what it would take to come up with this crazy dino-raping commentary?!

(and i would say, "...... just sayin" is proof that he does read the comments)
..... just sayin

@45, I believe you. Thanks man.

@52 Bull. Shit.

@30 - GW originally never posted on the weekends. The fact that he did for a while was nice, but he may actually have a life outside of G-O-G. That said, anytime someone floats a "GW's changed writes" rumor, everyone attacks the writing... There has only ever been one GW... asshat.

On subject, I believe the butt helmet would make the wearer an asshat.

Dude, I miss this site... I get to stalk sometimes through igoogle, but don't have time to check this place out anymore =(

It's ok though, I'm changing jobs again... you poor bastards...
naas - good to know you're still around!

The moon isnt realy. GW is a ROBOT. NAAS is his builder, who also built a time manchine so he could see some robot on dino action, but what if we are all already dead....... ALIENS..... CRABPEOPLE!!

This site seems to be going to hell.

@67

R.I.P. GW

@64

GO F*CK YOURSELF!!

Like you know whether or not it's always been the same writer...you spineless, dickless, hopeless, sorry assed chode choking bitch ass mother f*cker!

el primero es verón!

The GW is always hilarious. Even when some people are saying they are pissed he's not the real GW his commentaries are still piss your pants funny.

@57 Dishy, It took me to the end of my comment to figure out you were messing with me which is why I called humbug at the end just in case. You would think I'd know better by now, I'm just too gullible at times. On that note, I wonder how long it will take before someone comes up with a "Get Well Soon" Haiku for the GW?

Is anyone else worried about GW? he hasn't posted in a while and Im starting to think something may have happened...

I regrettably report that GW passed away last night after complications in surgery, after trying to thin his blood to remove a blood clot.

I don't know what to say, im still in shock.. when i feel up to ill do a new post.. we will miss you old friend, and all the love in the world to those closest to you who you have left behind.

@74 why the fuck would you say something like that naas?!?

@75 -=[S]d:G=- : Pretty sure that's not the real naas...

Doubt it.

Maybe there really hasn't been much to post. Maybe he just hasn't been assed. Whatever. The likelihood of him dying, then days later one person hearing about it and posting it here (especially if it's naas, and NOT Closet Nerd) is down there with winning the lottery while dodging a bullet which hits a guy who was playing poker and had a royal flush at 7:00 on the seventh of July 7777.

@73

ya this sucks im having the best morning in years and i wanted to share it with teh GW but he hasnt been around for 3 days at the least :(


*dramatic self speaking scene*
gw, where are you.
*zooms in on face*
WHERE! ARE! YOU! WE! NEED! YOU!!!!!!!!!!!

@naas: I don't know if you'll do... tell me son, do you find sauropods erotic?

maybe theres just no news :/
its betetr if he posts something worth reading than just rubbish
shows how much hes loves us :)
mainly me X)

i hope they come back soon, might have to go back to gizmodo D:

Yeah, dead people can't write emails.

I think it's possible, on an off chance, that the GW might have a life outside of this website. Hopefully similar to how everyone reading it has a life outside of it.

WTF? When did this site start censoring "bad" language?

This is a test... FUCK.

Never mind.

@leftover. lmao

GW died.

Guys,

Chill. Even Michael Jordan has his off weeks alright?

GW

LOL. GW is always away on weekends. :P

well its 7am and im finally off work with no word from the GW, I will head straight home and start drinking until his return but dont think im going to pour any out for you, you wouldnt for me youd just dirnk it all like i am..... see you at AA

man, gonna be stuck in a four day long conference, at least there is internet connection....

whats new with everyone?

@91 STOMPY; Here is the run down in a nut shell:

Rumors started flying about a week or so ago that the GW has been "changed", which turned into "the GW was in an accident" which became "naas is replacing GW until he gets out of the hospital" which turned into "GW is dead" and then we all got yelled at by GW (see comment 88) for being fuckheads (myself included).

Same old shit, different day. So how are you doing?

Well, I've discovered the joy of DnD. Got me a bitchin level 5 human sorcerer. Magic Missle FTW. How about you, STOMPY?

@88 if you're really GW post a article saying how you're not dead. (or how you died, either one really. not fussed )

@93

jack lackin around...

@88 FAKE

You can tell it's fake because the syntax is all wrong.

This is just like that time last thursday or whatever that the GW didn't post anything for three hours and internet society collapsed, and in a bid to save humanity one daring soul pretended to be the GW and restore balance, but then that one guy called him out and...

Oh shi...

@94 Why? He's taking time off.

@96 what post was that?

@94
if you are really -=[S]d:G=- post a comment saying blueberry monkey spunk....

hey guys

See what I did there?

@99 why?

@102
why not

GOOD MONDAY MORNING GEEKOLOGIE COMMENTERS, I'VE MISSED YOU!!!

I got a msg from Closet Nerd last night asking if I were dead laying alongside GW in some ditch or something. While I can honestly say I've shared a few ditches with GW before (woke up in a bathtub once too with him humping my leg) - - nobody's fucking dead and nobody's gone. CANT A MAN TAKE A VACATION?

@52, 56, 74 - get a fucking life & use your own handle when you want to stir drama. I don't talk like that, don't sound like that & I wouldn't pull stupid shit like you're trying. GO FIND YOUR DADS GUN & PLAY IN TRAFFIC twatscicle.

.......It's good to be back on geekologie

@Dishy you know me too well, you sir are correct

vacation?!?! he should have let us all know well in advance, everyones been worried sick!!!

Woah, soon enough there's going to be OVERRRR NINE THOUSAAANNDDD comments!

iwatchstuff hasn't posted since friday either (though he rarely posts on weekends), but Fish hadn't posted anything until last night around midnight and then again at like 2am... which is really weird.

There was a big-ass storm in DC, and GW's from there, right?

good to have you back real naas, restorin the order up in this bitchnizzle.

same damn things happens EVERY sunday. GW doesn't post all day and people freak out. HE DON'T POST ON SUNDAY ALRIGHT, GIVE EM A DAY OFF.

And unless GW cloned himself a new GW WITH THE SAME HUMOUR AND WRITING STYLE, this is the same dude I've been readin for getting on 3 years.

@106 you have to subscribe to receive that information
@107 only buckyballs can do that
@108 he's from the area but he's in cali now
@109 ain't that the truth.... some of these weekend-jockeys need to find HOLY SHIT - - there's a story on fox news about a bear that stole some dudes car hahahaha

"...the bear was out in the woods looking for something to EAT" - an expert on bears. Drinking in the morning hasn't been this good in awhile (a few days)

Damn people you should be glad you haven't lost Closet Nerd, he's the one that keeps things running here .....or somethin

@111 i try, i try....
I got laid off a few weeks ago, so I spend a lot less time in front of the computer, but I still try to drop in and comment often. I saw that this thread was goin crazy.... or somethin

i heard that story about the bear in the car.... they were talkin about it on the radio show I listen to, and the one host was commenting as if he was the bear.... laughed my ass off in the car..... just sayin

@33. I did read the post. And nowhere does it actually say that these helmets are real products.

And my vagina smells of roses.
And vagina.

http://tomopop.com/ul/12062-550x-005.jpg

@113 I lol'd because damn I love japan

@Closet ...just when you think you've seen it all, right?

I Hope the job thing comes around for you.. Ever thought of getting that sexy ass of yours into adult films? If not, I hear hospitals these days are paying people to do their billing from home because they're overwhelmed. It's supposed to be good income right up there with running a globally recognized blog or something

How can a bear steal a car?

Oh, wait, did you say FOX news?

That makes more sense. They're just insane.

@naas Thank God you're back. Closet Nerd has been doing his best but things have gone amuck here at geekologie. Good to see back here.


http://www.jordanto.com


Thank you for your support. fda

I hate you all so fucking much.

Wicked helmets! I love them!!! I saw some Nolan Motorcycle Helmets over here that are more standard looking. Love the designs.

where do i buy these helmets?
