Ok, this gets my vote as the hands down, most hot shit, coolest helmet ever!!!

I'm not normally one to buy something purely on aesthetic value, but I WILL own this some day soon (probably when I got to the US in July and can pick it up for around US$300. Probably gotta buy two though, one to wear, and one to be the centrepiece in the grand entrance to my future mansion/palace.

Anyone else got a fave helmet design of all time to share? Custom or production.

i agree.... i wonder if the helmet is "R" rated and can only be worn after 8pm??
but seriously..ew... why would a man want to wear a man's naked ass on their head??

My taste runs more to basic black, but if a No 46 fell out of the sky I'd wear it. That "Re-entry" item that appeared here a while back looked good too (flame pattern).

I like the Tearing Away Rivited helmet look, and the Spiderman look, If you could actually see out of it.

I quite like mine - and only $399 on special too! I got asked if it was my Christmas helmet as the horns on the back look like reindeer antlers!

something that DOESN'T look like your dog ate a child's paint set and threw up on it perhaps?

hahaha, each to their own. To me I think it's some funky shit, and the whole sun/moon scheme represents the balance of nature, good and evil, dark vs. light, star wars (ok, not really), etc...to me...

I personally find that a whole lot more interesting and expressive than sticking something 'tough' like a bunch of skeleton bones, or a demon's head or other such wanna-be-macho shit on a helmet...no matter how good the brush work is.

The Airoh Tyger has to be the most bad-ass looking helmet I've ever seen.

Very cool Buggy, hey were you riding through Custom St in town on Saturday around lunch time?

bugjuice

23rd January 2006, 11:27

nope, wasn't me.. Saturday at lunch time, I was down 22
there's 2 more orange 636s in town. One completely stock, owned by a chick who works in MotoMail, and another which has an iridium double bubble screen owned by an asian dude, which is often mistook for me parking outside Symond St AUT. Mine is the only one without the tail guard (I think).
And it's dirty.

Oh ok, it went past fairly quickly but it looked stock and had the rear seat on.

wouldn't it be a good idea to use someone with experience?
isn't there a risk of the shell being damaged by using the wrong kinda paints?
sorry to be a nana and all....
