    @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.

              Dont know why we are cribbing....


              XBHP promotes safe biking. It promotes everybody to wear a helmet.
              It asks you to wear a helmet to save ur head. It doesnt ask you to wear a highend ARAI or Shoei helmets.

              And as for those cruisers... those are the kind of helmets preffered to we worn. And they are....

              Now stop cribbing about... cheap plastics, roadside !#$# and other stuff


              Peace... Chill !!!

                  I agree with Spiderweb, The basic requirement we are talking about here, the HELMET.. and that Helmet costs around 120 - 150 bucks.. just to get ridd of cops.. it has hardly any padding inside. It might look kool.. but what the heck?? If it's here.. and that kind of photography.. ppl will surely follow that HELMET style.

                  Btw, the Bikes surely look good.. but as some1 mentioned the Skeletor looks like the other Skeleton Bike.. and I guess the STEALTH is inspired by Walz Harcore Chopper http://static.pagenstecher.de/upload...3290-14824.jpg
                  Those people who tell you not to take chances
                  They are all missing on what life is about
                  You only live once so take hold of the chance
                  Don't end up like others the same song and dance

                    @motor: I use my gray cells atleast before wearing/ buying a helmet. I wont follow anybody. Mostly no biker in xbhp follows if its unsafe...

                          am i the only one who finds these bikes tacky? i am not against custom choppers, but the overall finish on both these bikes looks el cheapo. eg: the cables- such small things matter when I am paying a lot of dough. Also why the pain of using the rear alloy from a car when you cant find something matching up front.

                          IMO, the best vardenchi was the bull designed for BS Motoring - Thunderclap or something like that.

                            the photos might not do justice to the bikes...Have seen them actually and the quality is actually very good from paint to the parts used.
                            Also these bikes are used considerably and depends on the end user too.
