This is a Shoei ES2 with a new tint visor from Bob Heath Visors. For a 70s helmet it is suprisingly light. It needs a reline and some pinstripes.

this isn't a helmet, but the illustration is based on a helmet that has been in this thread, so I thought it was worthwhile to post it in here:

Speaking of Chinese helmets on Ebay, I found this today:

Man I really love a lot of these vintage helmets... I made promises to people : so i only ride in the new stuff now, which is fine, i guess... the latest to my collection and the one getting the most use right now is the HJC AC-12. It is the Carbon Fiber version which makes it really, really light... almost like it isn't there. But is is a bit noisier than my Arai.

That is some real nice stripping!

Heres my new Bell modular. Suprisingly light, and fits well. Havent had it on the road yet so I dont know about noise... Ya I know, boring. Picked it up on clearance for like $40 i think though. I have a vintage Bell 3/4 also, bit it needs relined, and I look like a douche in it.

Oldie:

oops this is the one wiht the nice stripping?

Here's a couple of pics of my helmet and riding gear:

I was sort of going for the 'Post-apocalyptic-death-spartan' look that's popular these days. Seems I can't go anywhere without some jerk saying "Oh look, another post-apocalyptic-death-spartan... pshh."

Sorry for the bad image quality but since the nuclear holocaust, the electromagnetic fields and constant barrage of radiation do a number on digital equipment.

Also, my cellphone is a piece of shit.

Now that will make the cagers move when they see that in the rearview mirror!

 

[mnraider]

I'll play

LMAO that is schweeeet!

 

[mnraider]

Where did the knee/shin guards come from?! I have got to invest in a set of those. Oh, helmet for the thread:

That is killer I love the design on this one!

 

[mnraider]

Here are a few of my helmets.

This is my NOS Shoei. It was relined by Hellmutts and leafed by Old School Helmets.

This is my HJC CS-5. I bought this helmet new in the 1990s. I had it striped by Imperial House 71. This helmet is still sold today as the Z1R Jimmy.

I really dig the gold leaf very old school looking very nice.
