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.
