For many years, motorcycle helmets were made primarily of two types of material: mold injected hard plastic, and fiberglass. However, helmet technology has advanced just like technology in everything else. You can now find helmets made of more exotic materials such as carbon fiber and Kevlar.
But there is nothing wrong with the traditional plastic and fiberglass helmets and each has its advantages. The important thing is to find the best combination of comfort, weight, protection and cost for the type of riding you do.
Bentleys have always had a reputation for being powerful cars, but as opposed to the Lamborghinis and Ferraris of this world they’re also known for being reliable, durable and possessing an almost rugged look when compared to other top cars. They’re not like the tiny, sleek, fragile Italian cars. They are beasts.
Because of this, they were referred to as “the world’s fastest lorries” in the 1920s by Bugatti, who were their main competitors on the racing circuit at the time. Although Bentley have certainly come a long way and passed from one owner to another a few times, they’ve stuck by these design decisions to become the cars they are today.
