lol - I suppose it could be as bad as fake stick-on "bullet holes".



I guess it gives a whole new meaning to "Bullet" helmet.

GI60 mentioned Gulf graphics (which I love, btw) and it got me to thinking. I worked at a Union 76 station in high school. What do you guys think about getting an orange helmet and doing the graphics so it looks like a Union 76 antenna ball?


LOL

I've been wearing HJC white helmets (no graphics) for about 20 years and switched to the flip-up model when they came out.
I'm not partial to hi-viz yellow/green jackets so I wear red and with a white helmet, I feel quite sure I'll be seen - but take nothing for granted.
I've never had a problem with HJC and will continue to use them.

Tod, you sir, are a genius. My next white helmet will have to be a Marlboro!

Gold, you bring up something interesting about bullet holes. When the Scorpion 400 was a current model, I really liked this design. But, my wife thought it was morbid, since it looked like a helmet that had already been crashed, or shot at.

And Empty, my next orange helmet will be a Jagermeister. But, 76 antenna balls were practically a religion where I grew up. My Mom and I kicked around the South Bay area of L.A., Torrance, Harbor City and San Pedro. These were refinery towns, and one place we lived overlooked a 76 plant. When you left a 76 gas station, if your car didn't have an orange antenna ball rolling in, it would have one rolling out. The folks took them off and gave them to the kids. We'd put them on the valve stems on our bikes. I probably have a drawer full of them somewhere.

It was a no-brainer. I have fond memories of the times motorsports were all about tobacco.

Someone here has that black and gold cb1100 that reminds me so much of the John Player Special Formula 1 car[Image: 6c054c38c50e4ebc4201a03681d9231f.jpg][Image: c327e34fc671d507f639db568c38e1ca.jpg][Image: 89019dfa52fa1b5b6dd88ff618d6cf53.jpg]

Just read a feature on my tablet about a new Shoei Glamster retro helmet. Best shaped helmet I've seen in a long time. Makes me wish I needed a new helmet but I have 7 or 8 already lol

One extra for winter riding would not hurt... especially if you can use it for two bikes..it's called price sharing...Smile

RE: best looking helmets - Gone in 60 - 02-10-2021

Didn't someone here pick up a Glamster recently?

RE: best looking helmets - the Ferret - 02-10-2021
