Davida

 

Best British Female Artist Lily Allen gave her performance surrounded by Davida helmets at the 30th Brit Awards at Earls Court, London. Singing her Number 1 hit 'The Fear', Lily chose not to compromise on top-quality head protection for her male backing dancers, equipping each of them with a Davida Jet helmet painted pink. She described her show as, "Outrageous.....camp military....very pink!" and Davida has already received interest from fans who want to commemorate Lily Allen's retirement from music by buying a replica pink Davida Jet helmet.

It’s a pleasure to report that that the infamous Round the World Trip ”KCCD09 -The Dumb Way Round” will be represented at Cycle World's International Motorcycle Show at the Javits Convention Center in New York,  January 22-24, 2010.

The witless and fearless Norwegians Klaus Ulvestad and Tormod Amlien are currently halfway through circumnavigating the world on two Nimbus motorcycles with sidecars, made in 1937 and 1938.  The travels so far have covered Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Latvia, Lithuania, Belarus, Ukraine, Russia, Kazakhstan, Mongolia, South Korea, Canada and USA.  The trip will continue from New York down to Argentina, over to South Africa and back home to Norway via East coast Africa. For detailed accounts of the adventure please visit the brilliant website www.kccd.no

Highlights for the appearance at the Motorcycle Show will be: 

 A Slideshow about the trip so far, from Norway to USA, covering 13 countries, two broken frames and front forks, 6 head gaskets, countless other breakdowns, too many liters of vodka and other trivialities you face when travelling the world on 70 year old motorcycles.  The slideshows will be presented Friday, 1/22 - 1:00pm, Saturday, 1/23 - 10:00am, and Sunday, 1/24 - 4:00pm at the Hub Seminar Stage.

 View the ultimate touring machine for those who love to wrench in remote desserts and completely disregard comfort on a motorcycle:   the one and only 1937 model Nimbus that has been driven across the entire Russia, Kazakhstan and Mongolia over to the states.  The bike was covered in authentic American road salt from crossing the northern states in December.  It is a living witness of severe abuse of a classic bike for extreme touring.  

  Hear us swashbuckling about our ability to create disasters, chaos, and breakdowns.  Learn from the best in class how bad planning, even worse execution, and low budget can be defeated by stubbornness and ignorance of common sense.

 For more info about the trip please see our website www.kccd.no.  For information and the location of the  Cycle World International Motorcycle Show in New York please see www.motorcycleshows.com

 

 Davida UK will be exhibiting at the MotoExpo, Verona, Italy 15th - 17th January 2010. Hall 2, Stand 5a.

 Dear Davida

Your adverts usually show impossibly good looking people using Davida, so just for a change here’s some not so good looking customers.

Hugo and Bob, Dolomites,Moto Giro D’Italia 2009! Anyway, I just wanted to say that the helmet was fantastic and really , really comfortable. Many thanks, Bob

 

MK2 Davida Universal Face Mask – Improved Design

Whether to complete an authentic 70’s styling, as a traditional winter accessory or just to create a funky look, the face mask is a handy addition for the open face helmet rider.

Looking as good as they perform on the road , the Davida Universal Face mask is made with a single layer of soft black leather with a new and improved super soft laminated  liner for comfort and warmth. Eight pieces of leather have been carefully shaped and stitched to ensure a closely tailored fit around the contours of the face. 

Secured behind the neck using an adjustable elastic strap and not being attached to the helmet means the Davida face mask can be used with any open face helmet. They also have a specially designed face mask for use with the Davida Classic.

Both Davida face mask styles now also carry a small but discreet Davida label so you know you’re buying the real Davida product and not an imitation.

 The Heritage Open Days 2009, Britain’s biggest and most diverse celebration of architecture, history and culture will see 1 million people explore hidden gems whose special architecture and rich history are normally shielded from view during the 10-13 September event.

One this years highlighted events is the 2 hour guided walking tour through Wolverhampton historic motor manufacturing heartland with it's surviving factories and followed by a 30 minute film of the AJS Sunbeam factory

The event also marks the centenary of AJS Motor Cycles

The tour will commence from outside Wolverhampton Central Library, Snow Hill at 12.30pm on Saturday 12th and Sunday 13th. Following the guided walking tour there will be an optional showing of the half-hour film 'AJS and Sunbeam Motor Cycles'(made by Lumic Productions as part of their Black Country revisited series in the mid-1990s). Venue to be confirmed.

Issue 4 of Sideburn will include an exclusive feature on Valentino Rossi's dirt bike playtime by the editor of GQ Italy; How to win the Springfield Mile written by 7-time Grand National Champion Chris Carr; a feature by best-selling author Dan Walsh and images by in-demand fashion photographer Nick Clements.

After three issues of spreading the gospel of flat trackers, street trackers and a world of pared-back motorcycle style to racers, 'turn-left' aficionadoes and the global two-wheeled hipster elite, Sideburn magazine is about to shift up a gear.

From issue 4, Sideburn - aready motorcycling's most influential dirty bike lifestyle magazine - will be increasing its print run by 300 per cent thanks to the backing of distribution powerhouse Comag, a tie-up that will see the magazine stocked in a large number of specialist targeted outlets all over the world.

Sideburn founders Ben Part and Gary Inman continue to to produce Sideburn entirely independently with the help of some of the most respected writers and photographers.

Issue 4 will be published in mid-September

We were all shocked and deeply saddened to hear of the death of Jake at the Manx GP on Tuesday 2nd September. We met up with Jake on Sunday 30th August at the Creek Inn, Peel and at Sulby, where we took this photo of him. As with every meeting with Jake it was a joy to just talk and laugh. He will be greatly missed by everyone who knew him and this has affected many people in Liverpool and elsewhere. It was a joy to have known him and our thoughts are with his wife, Sal and all his family. May he rest in peace.
