Bikes & Helmets

BIKES
Brad started riding bikes in 2004 and ever since then he’s had different ones. With the help of Elizabeth, Stephane, Gracie and her husband, I managed to set up this page dedicated to his bikes and some info on them. The information provided is a picture along with the first spotted date and place.

Brad doesn’t own all of these (I assume). Some of them he rode during his stay in other countries, something he has been quoted to really enjoy. We can assume he owns or owned the bikes he rode through the USA.

If you can provide more information, please email me. Note that all full size images featured below can be found at BP Gallery.

QUOTES
“I first rode at age 7 on my cousin’s Honda Mini Trail 50. I tried to jump it and ran it into grandmother’s car. He was severely pissed off. My first bike was a Kawi 150 Enduro. I won it at age 12 in a contest for selling the most pecan log rolls door to door after school. I crashed it four weeks later.” – Details 2014

“I try to carve out time for a solo ride in every country I travel to, from the Highlands of Scotland to the Atlas Mountains of Morocco to the belly of India. I haven’t even come close to fulfilling my list yet… But in the traffic of L.A. with a helmet on, I’m just another asshole on the road.” – Details 2014

HELMETS
• Brad wears Arai and KBC helmets. He seems to favor KBC helmets. The first one is the KBC ‘Assassin’, he’s also been seen with the KBC ‘Gunslinger’. In June 2009 Brad wore a helmet apparently designed by his children as it says ‘Daddy’s Helmet’ and features drawings on the back side.
