Maybe I'll have to go buy a new Bandit to fit in.

Ive been eyeing one of those for a while. They ARE sweet looking, but they look kinda warm. Anyone got info on the ventilation in them?

I'm sure alot of people replace wear with ride and talk about our bikes... Subjective I say.

Ok... OK... So who's got em and wearing them??...

So far the members that I know of are:
i got a simpson bandit, but the guy's who wear them in the UK are in to the street fighter scene not the cafe scene, they are also illegal in the UK, you can get 3 point's on your license if the cop wants, but i never did have any probs.

Are these helmets becoming the next MUST have??..like the cafe seat?...Anyone else out there wearing these bad boys?
I have to give credit where its due... The first person I ever saw sporting the Bandit helmet was DrJ...and I was amazed how all the chicks were drawn and surrounded him at the meets...And although I have 4 of these helmets, I just cant seem to replicate the Fonz-coolness that DrJ just seems to have... ;D

Afraid i dont have a simpson but i do have a shoei GRV in lawson cagiva design with black visor and AGIP sticker. Was my old race helmet as simpsons are not aloud on the track as they dont pass the ACU approval. Plus it matched my leathers at the time which is very very important ;D Also a Mamola Arai F1 with black visor which again matched my leathers, after all, got to be colour coordinated ;D

You guys realize Bandits are hardcore race and streetfighter helmets don't you? Total overkill on the bikes you're riding.
