Damn, that's ugly.

I'd be ashamed to throw it out as well.

Have you considered waiting till dark and burying it in the garden?

Should bury it in the garden, or hang onto it until the price of scrap goes back up.

Lol yes it is mate but no wont be burying it.Reminds me of the good old days before motorcycling was more about motorcycling and nobody gave a fuck whether you waved or not and how you rode something was far more important than what you rode.:zzzz:

I had an old Kiwi Brand Helmet (my first helmet 20 or so years) up untill a year ago... I have no idea why I had it for so long... have had heaps of helmets in between and due for a new one in a year or so...

Is that a Rainey rep?

I have the feeling I have seen that colour scheme on a racer in the 80's

I would love an Eddie Lawson replica Bell, or a Spencer Arai. Just to have.

Polish it up* and put it on display in the lounge. Bet there are a lot of vases and shit in there that are just there to look nice, that is equally as nice to look at.

*heh heh helmet polishing. :)

Funny enough (when I get it started) I ride it as far away from people as I can get, Though I am incapable of feeling shame. I put that down to when I was a child and I fell into the huge brew of HTFU juice that Getafix was cooking up.

I don't believe I have any of my old helmets, Though I remember a couple of them fondly.Does that count?

Currently I have been using a Nolan helmet with the hinged front, The worst helmet I have ever owned. I hate the damn thing.
