The Birmingham Business Journal has an article featuring the success story of a small motorcycle helmet manufacturer, Helmets Inc., makers of the Caliber and Rodia brands. Yeah, they even make this dog helmet.

It's a good read if you like business stuff. It kinda makes you want to start your own helmet company.

Interestingly, the article says that brightly colored mohawk attachments are really popular.

Todd Sobel, who owns Helmets Inc., came up with a design patterned after the Captain America helmet on the movie "Easy Rider", but it flopped...

But not all of his ideas pan out. He thought a recent inspiration
to design a "Captain America-style" helmet from the film "Easy Rider" was a shoo-in. Instead, it tanked.
