Don’t you just hate it when your do rag won’t stay on? Well my friends, worry no more, Stazzon.com has solved the problem for us. Now you can get a patent pending head cloth (with awesome features) that won’t come off when you take your helmet off or won’t fly away in the wind if you (shudder) ride helmetless. Created by a biker for bikers, it is available in both “dudes” and “chicks” styles.
It may well be an innovative and worthwhile product. I’m just a little put off by the hyperbole and their choice of words for gender…oh, and the $20 price tag too. Though I give them credit for their web site—someone did a very nice job of putting it together.

Motorcycle-USA.com does occasional articles about memorable motorcycles. This month they write about BSA’s $40 million dollar flop—the 1966 BSA Titanium.
“It was the same era in which the BSA group had the most modern motorcycle factory in the world, and when confidence amounting to crass arrogance filled every room in the Armoury Road complex.”
“I remember sitting eating lunch with a group of BSA middle management who spent an hour and a half laughing at Honda because they didn’t have a bike bigger than 450cc and dismissing all Yamahas as foul-handling, smoky two-strokes. And this was at the same time that BSA’s own bikes were dogged with some of the most gross unreliability ever seen in production engineering. Did the Japanese steal the British motorcycle industry? Not in the slightest degree - they were given it on a solid gold plate!”
“So, it is against this backdrop of power, self-confidence and, to be fair, technological know-how second to none, mixed with a breathtaking arrogance that one of the most interesting stories in motocross develops.” Read the article.
