Here is mine, complete with an extra visor and zip on leather thingy on the back..
I dont wear it anymore, for safety reason.
Would probably not have any brain left after a crash with this one.

My dad use to wear Nefuk, it was one of the freakiest looking things for a motorcycle.

Picture is from the internet - nobody related  ;D

What was that made for?? Making shure you get wet in the face? Or to prevent bees from getting in your helmut

It creates a layer of not moving air in front of your face.

That's either an Arthur Fullman or a Premiere. I think...(occasionally).  It looks a lot like my '75 Premier but mine doesn't have the "chrome" accents. Bell made some of those "space man" designs too in the 70-80's.

I know what you mean. I had that thought when i started this thread however I am sure there is enough information out there for any person with common sense to understand the benefits of a new helmet.

Seeing an old helmet can hold a thousand stories about where it has been, what shenanigans it's been involved in etc. I would like to embrace those stories about seeing and bringing back great memories.

BTW love that Fulmer!!
