Battistinis, Seth Enslow breaks world record. . . . .

Battistinis, Seth Enslow breaks world record. . . . .

Ever since the mighty Seth Enslow stuck two fingers up at the world (and fellow MX riders) jumping off one sand dune to land on their parked up crossers in Crusty Demons of Dirt 2 everyone knew that he was here with one crazy bang and the world of freestyle motocross had changed for evermore!

Well yesterday moring, Australia time, American stuntman Seth Enslow has broken the world record for the longest distance jumped on a Harley-Davidson motorcycle with a 183.7-(56 meters) foot jump. Enslow had to put on his record-setting performance twice because much of the media missed the first run because he was scheduled to make his record jump at 9.30am (AEDT) but he took the jump at 8.45am with only a third of the press there. He broke the record with that jump (175 feet) but was forced to take it again when he realized the press had missed it. At the second tentative to please the press the distance jumped was recorded at 183.7 feet.

Evel Knievel set the record in 1975 and held it for 24 years before Blackwell’s 1999 jump in Las Vegas of 157 foot (47.85 meters) Enslow’’s jump is not a Guinness World Record, as Guinness has no category for specific motorcycles, but it still stands as a world record.

Do that on your softail!

Battistinis, Icon Carbon Lifeform Helmet. . . . .

Battistinis, Icon Carbon Lifeform Helmet. . . . .

We all love the joys of the open face lids out there that feel as thick as a Rizla paper but if you are after something with a little (actually a lot) more protection when things get a little on the squirly side this may be right up your street! The Brand NEW Carbon lifeform helmet from Icon is really as tough yet as refined as they come.

For everyone who loves the false sense of security that comes with inferior full face lids out there go knock yourself out, as that’s what will happen if you end up needing to use it for what it was supposedly designed for, everyone else simply get in touch with us on +44(0)1202 437400 or email sales@battistinis.co.uk today to get your nugget inside one of these absolute winners!

The icon Carbon Lifeform helmet is simply quality from the outside in!

Carbon - the fundamental structure of all life - incredibly light, unbelievably strong. Icon have used this fundamental element to produce our lightest helmet ever. The shell is formed with Icon's unique dry moulding technology which allows for exact placement of carbon material. This controlled placement provides reinforced structure without adding weight. Indeed, weighing in at a mere 1450 grams, the Carbon lifeform is a prime example of the most modern of helmet manufacturing technologies. Of course the weight savings benefit is matched by the vastly superior venting system used in the Airframe. Where the other manufacturers imply venting the Airframe truly delivers. If you have the means we highly recommend acquiring this truly unique Airframe. You will not be disappointed.

- All world standard, Meets of exceeds the following: DOT FMVSS 218 (US), ECE 22-05 (Europe), SAI AS1698 (Australia) & SG (Japan) safety and testing standards. Does not ship with SAI or SG certification stickers unless purchased in that country.

Battistinis, Ace Café Ally Pally 2010UK Custom Show! . . . . .

Battistinis, Ace Café Ally Pally 2010UK Custom Show! . . . . .

Its coming, its here, its happened, we are sure (and hope) that it will be back!

That’s correct the Ace Café had its Custom Motorcycle show at Ally Pally London this weekend and what a show it was! We were on the Exile stand throughout the show with our latest Battistinis Exile build’ The Hotrod’ and also ‘The Trike’ that we built last year and want to say a massive thanks to everyone who dropped by the stand to see the builds! The show had it al covered, from the mild to the wild and thankfully us from the rain that beat down all weekend hard! Even with this the case the spirits of everyone who attended were not dampened one little bit!

American Motorcycle Dealer magazine (AMD) accredited the custom show to have AMD world championship of custom bike building status and it showed! Some serious builds and modified Harleys were lined up and some very happy people took away a huge pot of trophies, money and assorted other prizes between them, including Eric from ‘Special Parts Supply’ taking the win of best in show and so receiving a dream ticked to the final of the competition with the ‘world’s best in Sturgis. To find out more about the world championship of custom bike building, simply click here: www.amdchampionship.com

Lets hope that this show now becomes a permanent feature on the scene and really brings together not just the UK or European custom scene but the entire world!

Good times!
