Yeah - its a scooter helmet but it's for cafe pootling around Kapiti on summer evenings and poping to the shops...

Don't forget nipping down to get your hair done.

[Joni]

Retro... how..?Could be a retro space helmet? Or something from an old star trek movie??

[yungatart]

Retro, huh?
Does that mean you are getting old too?

[Str8 Jacket]

So long as you dont go buying a scooter Paul....... Does V approve?

[Paul in NZ]

Retro is the description I was given of the helmet... To quote....

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Retro

Retro is a term used to describe aspects of modern culture which are consciously derivative or imitative of those trends, modes, fashions, or attitudes of the recent past which have or had come to be seen as unfashionable.

Since i am unfashionable it is arguable that I AM myself retro... Sadly - this could fall down as I'm not sure I'm part of modern culture...

Paul (retro) N

PS - Vicki points out that for accuracy I need to add that I never have actually been fashionable...

PPS - it has shiney bits....

[vifferman]

Nup.
Silver's manly. Now if it was pink, and had colourful decals on it, that would be ghey.

And it's too high tech to be retro.

And you are obviously too pleased and excited about it to care whether or not it's ghey anyway.

If you start losing your hair then so will your head.... :whistle:

Up until I asked if she wanted one as well... I never knew ironing was that important...

As for the scooter - well if buggerss would stop out bidding me on trademe I'd have the next project already already...

Ah, a 1/4 mile racing scooter?

[Paul in NZ]

Ah, a 1/4 mile racing scooter?

I've seen crazier things.... Since the Honda Cub was the worlds greatest m/c I wonder how fast you could.... nah... I still need another A100 (or more)

[koba]

Damn, you may even be on a honda next...

[Hitcher]

and poping to the shops...

In that case you'll need a hat like this, John-Paul in NZ...

Grey is the new black.....and you can call it silver...

[oldrider]

All this wisdom from the man who didn't wear his glasses in the communal showers at Woodstock so that no one could see him! :whistle: John.

sad.....Hmmm, I must say it would go nicely with my beard. Bought a $150 FFM full face last week. The old umteen year old FFM just has far to much work gunge in it to be healthy for those extended "commutes".

Looks good Paul.

[Bonez]

Hey Paul, i reckon the new helmet is cool !! :2thumbsup, reminds me of when I was in the RNZAF & our pilots helmets :drool:

Now that brings back nightmares :whistle:

[Paul in NZ]

Cheers Bonz - I used to have an original FFM full face - good helmet but crap visors back then.

The Nitro is great to wear on those hot days - supurb actually but I won't be buying a tinted visor for it - $89... eh?? the whole thing with clear visor cost $159 - man - those tints must cost a fortune.... I think I should take up tint farming!

I think I should take up tint farming!Guess it's the 300% markup of most NZ goods. Gave up on tinted visors years ago. Personnally I think they're over rated.

Go Power rangers! :buggerd:
