Vintage or Classic helmets on Ebay

A few years ago I would have just called these helmets 'retro' or classic, but perhaps the 'Pre '75' goalposts have shifted a bit with time.....perhaps my first ever helmet is now vintage (sighs..)

Crazy Yamaha Build Off from Spaniards 8NEGRO

The great Spanish site 8NEGRO http://www.8negro.com/ had a bike build off (they called it the METAMORPHOSIS MASSIVE) . Using only small Yammys it seems, they came up with some dramatic builds. Check them out !

UPDATE 8/2 - Just back at work & noticed that the fine people at PIPEBURN featured this bike back on the 27th...http://www.pipeburn.com/

They are one of the top bike blogs on the planet - go look if you haven't already.

Bimota HB1 Honda Reproduction and cool CB750 site 'Cling on for Dear Life'

http://www.motocicliveloci.it/

Motocicli Veloci create wonderful repros of the world's greatest bike (i.e. the HB1 - world's best non European 'European' bike, if you know what I mean... maybe world's best 70's bike is easier to say ?) Whatever - the KB2 & SB3's are cool too, but the HB1 is still the best Bimota ever made. Let me know your better suggestions for Japan engined European superbikes (Elgi anyone?).
