When I go helmet shopping, I rarely find a graphic design I like in the model I want to buy. So, I end up getting a solid white, or if available, a hi-viz.
I usually put some reflective stripes on them, and a few decals to mimic some sort of racing livery.
I now have a Gulf, a Martini, and my newest, an AGIP.

I agree. I think HJC hits the nail on the head for helmets. I don't worry about my helmet when I leave it on the bike if I'm somewhat near it, but my buddy has an Arai and lugs it with him everywhere he goes. I do, however, carry a length of length of stainless cable to lock my helmet/jacket to the bike anywhere a putz teenager might lift it off the mirror and throw it into the bushes just for aggravation.

... or in deep urban settings if left locked on the side helmet latch, some "aggravated punk" decides to take a leak in it.

I've never even heard of any of those.

RE AGIP: Get a Moto Guzzi or Aprilia and they typically come with a few AGIP labels already on the bike.
I've never heard of those either... now I have something to google tonight!
Gulf and Martini look to be auto racing helmets. Agip all I get is stickers...
Looks to me like AGIP is an oil company. I like how you turned this into an oil thread, Gone in 60.
Well, oil and alcohol, if you count Martini.
Throw in a tobacco brand and you've hit the trifecta lol
