Coolest helmet graphic

[Colapop]

As long as the fit, feel and aerodynamics were good and it was just about graphic.. I'd want one that has the look of pant being burnt off the outside like if the inside were too hot and it leaves patches... I can't find a pic... but if you imagine real hard....

Where's the option for Black?

[wildcat_lgf]

holy shit!! now thats what you call original...i like! is it worth a small fortune? what brand?

Yeah I just got the email today from the supplier. The brand is "Marushin" it was a japanese brand which was bought by German company in the 80's I think. They sponsored many MotoGP or Superbike riders (can't remember which) incl the only woman to ride 250cc class.

Its a limited edition which runs out end of this month...I could put an order through if people were interested but they are about EURO$100 ea wholesale +shipping (minimum order and all)

If you bought one retail, probably looking around the $400 mark?

The problem with doing the colour-matching thing is you can end up out of whack. I decided to buy some Spidi Pro-1 gloves in black/yellow/white to match my black VFR and black/silver/gold helmet, but they looked really crap when I got my red Teknic jacket, and even worse with the red bike.

I love the one with the flames but you're right it would be a mismatch.

Interestingly no one has voted that the get a replica of their favourite riders helmet. And here I was thinking that I was being shallow in wanting a pretty one.

For road riding i like to have a funky one. For racing I just get the cheapest shoei I can lay my hands on. Plain is normally that one, so just go for blue or black.

Why? Is it not the done thing to have a helmet with graphics when racing? Or do you not want to mess it up in a bin?

Hmmm...I got a replica, but wasn't a fave rider or nuffin. Just liked the design.

Who's your favourite then?

[bert_is_evil]

Rider? no idea - I don't have sky.

[boomer]

Um, there is usually only one colour available in my size.
Just as well that is usually black not pink.

I don't have Sky either...bittorrent.

Always liked the Edwards Aria

[bert_is_evil]

I like that one too but on closer inspection I think it has some sneaky stripes on the back to match the stars on the top *shudder*. I could cover it up with a couple of kb stickers....

Comes in yellow too

Have a look at a thread called "Prettty Helmets"...hang on will find for you.

Brain hurts. I need a picture.

Let me get this straight. You want a photo of Colopops "pant being burnt off the outside"?

You sick bastard.

[skidMark]

You would be correct but it has to look good when you sit it on the table at the Cafe

Cafe

where yo from mate remuera or ponsonby?

gotta have a helmet that looks nice while u sip ur latte? most of those fags wear open faces.

just taking the piss lol

for me it just depends on the helmet, i'm all for great graphics but if the helmets shit i'd rather have an ugly helmet, thatll actually save my head.

i really like the craft replicas of the old simpsons but i also like the shoei paranoia xr1000

i will try the craft on, but i like shoeis, for thier safety etc, but i will definately try the craft to see which is better fit but i think i might choose quality over looks at the end of the day, i might splash out and get a shoei x sprit i would get arai but arai nz supplier is shit, and i don't have an arai head,

basic rule is ur either a shoei head or an arai head should head people also like hjc's.

the useless things u learn selling helmets in a motorbike shop huh.

heres some pics.
