Anyone into helmets?
« on: July 13, 2012, 12:53:47 PM »
I like motorcycle helmets.  New ones / old ones, it doesn't matter.  Anyone else like helmets?  Lets see em.

Here are my helmets:


Top: NOS Shoei relined and gold leafed, HJC CS-5 pinstriped
Middle: NOS Buco, Shoei ES2
Bottom: Icon Alliance SS, Nolan N-40

Buddy of mine bought an ex Barry Sheene helmet off eBay for $1500, wonderful story too. Guy here at work has a limited edition helmet he got from a bike show. It is a Torq, 3/4 open face with hand painted pic of Johhny Cash flipping the bird, signed and numbered of 150 made. I have had some weird ones myself; green metalflake, Captain America Stars and Stripes, an old H-D with a weird peak at the rear about halfway down. Guy used to work here has an awesome lid collection and he also collects race leathers. Remember those old bubble face sheilds? like looking through a fish bowl! LOL.

Mine are expired NHRA helmets but only from our own team and we ain't famous. I'm going to do some pinstriping on them this winter though.
