Had read an article on the Stealth in BI, last year.
The Skeletor however makes the Stealth look ordinary

A Desi version of the 'Ghost Rider' movie will kick the Hollywood version's ass if the Skeletor is used

@Sunny & other Mods: Don't we talk about safty on xbhp? Every single pic, without a helmet or gear becomes the center-stage of hot discussion. & here the V-person is riding without any gear (I know its for promotion!), but to be more precise, that helmet is just a fashion in mumbai to get rid of the cops fining people, isn't it?
Even in a small crash it flows off, n I had seen that a several times... why a helmet just for a formality???
Why no gloves, no jacket???
Why not any comment or a finger towards the pics here???
I don't want any heated discussion on this, just asked out of curiosity.
Hope i get a valid answer.

You can only promote Safe Riding. Helmet is the minimum bare helmet to protect the most critial part of the body - THE HEAD. So, helmet is the main gear. Rest, jackets, gloves, knee pads etc etc are less critical ones. You cannot force people to wear them. Nor your should consider people not wearing the less critical ones to be riding without safety. He is at least wearing a helmet and I believe these are the kind of helmets most cruiser bike riders wear.

The style of the helmet may be similar, but it is the cheap one that's available on the side of the road(in abundance I might add!)

Will wait for Sunny's reply on this. Again, am not sparking a fire here.

Above all that, the bikes were super cool. Creating that spine section on the tank must have been a pain in the, er, spine!

Akshay has come a long way from his early days. I wish him all the very best for his upcoming projects. Seen him at some of the motorshows held in Mumbai.

@leon: Well do you think "that helmet the V guy is wearing" will save you in a severe crash?
I had seen some accidents & they fell-off-easily, throwing your head & making it vulnerable to the dangerous open-ness of a ROAD.

*I know this is going a little OT, but an answer will be most welcomed.

A 30K ARAI helmet might give up on a crash. And I will repeat the statement again - You cannot decide for people what gear they should wear. You can only promote. Let's not try to be biking nannies. There is no point me saying the same things again and again. I am done here.
