THE MOTORCYCLE HELMET: The 1930s-1990s Rin Tanaka; Hardcover

214 pages (2002), Used

The motorcycle helmet has encountered much resistance from bikers who cherish the sense of freedom they get when riding without one. At the same time, the design revolutions it has undergone since its introduction in the 1930s have made it as much a part of the motorcycle culture as the leather jacket. Here the whole history is traced, from the ancient beginnings in warrior’s helmets to the jet age molded plastic designs of the late twentieth century. All of the world’s major manufacturers are covered, and their helmets are illustrated in detailed full color photographs. In addition, the author has included vintage advertising, racing photographs, and promotional materials. You will see the early football style helmets, leather pilot’s caps, “pudding-style” helmets, the Air Force inspired full-coverage helmets introduced by Bell Auto Parts in 1954, and the continuing evolution up to the end of the century. Both technical and decorative aspects are considered, along with the changing culture around motorcyclists. For the motorcycle enthusiast and collector, or those interested in a significant design movement, this book will both entertain and inform.  Great detail and amazing photos. Rin Tanaka’s books are always amazing. Thus far, he has written over 20 books about the history of vintage clothing.
