Bob Huddleson's Howling Helmets were on display at the 2008 Street Vibrations event in Reno. Howling Helmets, in case you haven't seen them, are a unique blend of protective headgear and taxidermic artistry.

I can't imagine anything more attention-getting than a motorcycle helmet adorned with animal fur and real horns. Just the thing for a ride to your local PETA rally!

Bob tells me that his helmets adorn celebrities such as Steven Tyler of Aerosmith, and Dale Earnhardt, Jr. -- and he has the photos to prove it, although I couldn't get him to show me a photo of Earnhardt wearing a Howling Helmet during an official NASCAR event.

We didn't have a lot of time to spend with Bob (his booth had numerous visitors in the few minutes we spent talking to him) but during our brief conversation Bob seemed like an easygoing and helpful guy.

I'm not sure about the legality of these helmets, so I'd expect that wearing one would subject you to increased scrutiny from your friendly neighborhood law enforcement officials.

If you are looking for truly unique headgear, Howling Helmets are worth a look.
