They have a whole lot more designs coming too. Supposedly 300 something artists are signed up. The lynyrd skynard helmet never even made it to oz I believe, it was way too popular. Bring on an iron maiden one, with eddie ridiing a motor-sickle giving the bird on it muhahah.

[ital916]

gotta get one of them.....

Oz might have a few, you'll have to check though. If not then it'll have to be ordered from america which is gay. I wouldn't have minded a lynyrd synyrd one *in fact i like them all haha*.

[Hillbilly]

Try ordering on the Aussie site: http://www.rockhardhelmets.com.au. Click on the "contact us" link on the bottom right, and that'll bring up an email link to the didtributors, Classons. They'll be able to tell you exactly what's available and for how much.

They had the KISS helmets as well where I bought the AC/DC one. They're brilliant helmets too. Quiet, comfortable and light.

[alanzs]

[Jiminy]

Now we're talking :Punk:

[imdying]

I'm waiting very patiently for Megadeth, Metallica, Sepultura and Pantera (in that order). Slayer one is very tempting though.

[DEMONICST8]

I just got the Hustler one, very cool

I'm waiting very patiently for Megadeth, Metallica, Sepultura and Pantera (in that order). Slayer one is very tempting though.

Yeah I would really REALLY like a Megadeth one with Vic on it, and several other bands, but I dont have high hopes of them making anything 'better' (for me) than Slayer, so that's what I settled for today, now I'm gonna be broke cause I have to pay my insurance on several vehicles and stuff..

I put it down side by side with my cheap loan helmet that I have from another shop (yeah I'm gonna have 2 helmets.. damnit) and the Rockhard one looks pretty big next to it.

Oh I have to add, I like it when I stop at an intersection, look down, and see the reflection of the Slayer logo in the chrome tank surround :2thumbsup

Ok, I just realised I resurrected an old thread.

Ronan Keeting perhaps???:bash:

[mokomoa112]

are they comfortable?

[James Deuce]

I'm hoping for a Mudvayne one.

With any luck it'll be old school Mudvayne and I can get a SPAG paint job.


are they comfortable?

Comfort? Remember, it's 99% how you look.

What are the record companies paying you guys to advertise their bands?

[James Deuce]

We're nerds who want to be cool. Shut up!!

*somewhere deep in the bowels of KBC headquarters*

Executive 1. "I'm sorry boss, I know I should never have authorised the production of that model. What a disaster - I don't know what to do".

Executive 2. "Wait, I've got an idea......................"

C.E.O. "Hmmmm, I like it. BUT I BETTER NOT SEE THE LETTERS KBFUCKINGC ANYWHERE ON IT!!!"

:msn-wink:

[Maha]

Same could be said for everything that anyone buys with a label on it.
Honda didnt pay me anything to buy their product, I wanted it, I got it.

You know it Semaj Ecued.......even reversing the letters in you mane makes you sound even cooler!!......well, Pakastani anyway...:yes:

I think I just cracked a fat.
Glad someone else appreciates the pure-awesomeness that is LD50.
I still wear the M-devil logo shirt I bought at Big Day Out 2001, which has more holes than material left.

[Irontusk]

Well, I'm pretty sure there's not many people who havn't heard of the bands.. and if they havn't they probably aren't someone who would like the band anyway, I don't see how a glimpse of a band logo or name as someone rides pass is going to boost sales. If someone hasn't heard of one of them, but would like it, then that's a good thing for the listener if they go out to find some, right?

And these helmets let you have a helmet that isn't just one colour, without having a helmet from a matching power rangers kit.


Oh, Spag is the drummer right? When he had the black/white sort of stripe sections on his head? Same as the Dig video, or something, I think. It's been a while.

[alley cat]

That is totally mint! Nice choice:niceone:

[Creeping Death]

I got the KISS one a few months ago.....:girlfight:
KISS lid...O for Awesome!Nice!

[McJim]

Goodness me! Anyone would think there was a link between Rockers and Bikers :Pokey: :rofl:

[bomma]

so many bands.....SO LITTLE MONEY :oi-grr:

[Irontusk]

Well, there's only 3 bands in NZ.. they've been out for AGES and still no word on another lot of releases.

And it's a damn good thing I bought my Slayer helmet.. Holeshot STILL can't sort their shit out with their KBC suppliers, I've paid for a helmet that I don't have and I'm not happy with someone (Holeshot, whether it's their fault or not, they're who I'm dealing with).

Hear what you're all saying but honda made your bike, AC/DC didn't make the helmet.......

We all buy what we like. I've just never been an AC/DC fan I guess... :)
