Baja Motorsandal Armored Flip Flops!

2010 August 25
by Ellen

Something we’ve all been waiting for and at the same time, driving the all gear all the time crowd nuts.

The MotorSandal! A sandal specifically designed and engineered for riders.

The most important features of the MotorSandal are – Fiberglass reinforced plate in the sole, Gear shift protection, Thermo-plastic rubber exhaust heat resistance, Toe bumper and Fluorescent night vision in the back strap. Another interesting feature of this sandal is that it can also be used without the back strap as a slipper depending on the wish of the rider. Those with no motorcycle need not be worried, this sandal can be used comfortably in all day to day activities.

Unfortunately, the Motorsandal is only available in Bangladesh. But if it catches on, who knows!

My editorial:  Ouch my toes!!!

Interesting Helmet Graphics

These helmet graphics were done as a marketing experiment and aren’t actually available.  It would be fun if someone actually made them.

Poor Google Translation of the site:  Graphical method : paint helmet small merit , and we know it is done by many thousands of times, but! We would like to experiment in the synthesis of two different objects around one form. Somewhere, a place where some illusions that cause wonder and smile . The reality of incarnation is not interested in us , we just have fun ! And wish you : )
