That , sir, is beyond awesome. Where did you get the screen or how did you print that?


Thanks! I used to know a guy, years ago, that printed them for friends. He'd print you one for $9.00. I lost contact with him though.
 
Midnight, that visor (and your bike) is absolutely...I don't know...just plain old badass. Where'd the visor come from?
 
Where did the knee/shin guards come from?! I have got to invest in a set of those. Oh, helmet for the thread:

This is a Harley Davidson "pull the dot" helmet from the early 1960's. My sister got it at a garage sale in the 1980s and I have been riding with it since:

It is not good protection I am sure, but it is light and easy to wear. Since my wife fell down on a bicycle and fractured her skull and pelvis this spring, I have been riding motorcycles with a skateboard helmet, which is also light and easy to wear, and I am sure much better protection than this old thing.

I have my father's old helmet from when he was a Matchless dealer/racer, also an old Rohmer pudding bowl that a friend of my father's rode with in the fifties and sixties, and I have my friends old racing leathers he used to race this old Norton last....
 
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 like that it looks like it says "Crook" on it... I'm assuming it's "Rook" based on your screenname?... ???
 
I need to find a helmet. Havent been able to ride in over a year and discovered mine to be FULL of mouse crap and scraps from some unidentified material. Smelled so bad I just dropped it in the trash... no chance I'm wearing it ever again.
 
holy mother of alah,
that is the best thing i've ever seen in my life.
there's an australian street artist called beastman and this work reminds me of it so much
