Does it get any trendier or artier than this? No, it doesn’t.<\/p><\/div>\n

You know the world has changed when the iconic American motorcycle company launches an arty helmet exhibition in a super trendy bar in the ultra-hip Sydney suburb of Newton.<\/p>\n

The venue was (and is) Mary’s, the band that played that evening was Little Bastard, which had a fiddle-player, so it cannot have been anything but awesome, and some of the country’s edgiest artists displayed their applied creativity to the open-face helmet.<\/p>\n

Bike Me! sent Big Tall Dan along for the evening on account of he likes beer, motorcycles and is acquiring a taste in art.<\/p>\n

The exhibition runs until the 30th of November and is located at Mary\u2019s Newtown, which is, amazingly, at 6 Mary Street, Newtown, Sydney, NSW 2024.
\nGo and have a look.<\/p>\n

Art, and the appreciation thereof, is simply not possible without life-giving beer.<\/p><\/div>\n
