Who invented motorcycle's?

The first motorcycle was reported to have been invented by Gottlieb Daimler in 1885. Bikes were very slow back then so this helmet was probably more for keeping your hair in place.

The first bike helmets, created in the 1880's by riding clubs, were called the "Pith" helmets. It was the Snell Foundation who promulgated the first bicycle helmet standard in the U.S. in 1970.
