At Speeds Approaching 100 Miles An Hour...



...I give you The Purple Helmets.

I think I may have burst something laughing. Imagine the boys from Jackass, except on Honda 90s and with an infinitely smaller budget. After the showboating of the major motorcycle manufacturers and 'Streetfighters', these boys represent the perfect antidote.

Coupled with the despairing commentary "And now the boys are going to attempt the... oh... they've fallen over again. God, what total shite." the sight of 20 grown men in large brown overcoats falling off motorcycles makes for entertainment for all the family. At least up until they wheel out some of the novelty bikes (made on a budget of £7.34, most of which appears to have been spent on beer.)

I wouldn't liked to have been the parent who had to explain the significance of "The Golden Shower" (a two wheeled shower cubicle.)

Same time next year, then.
