[BeaverEater]

[slade]

my sister has her motorcycle license.

I asked her if she wanted that helmet, too.

she called you a sissy.

[t0nnn]

congrats, i really don't care thanks for sharing

[FooTemps]

I like the silver details but the colors are too much... maybe some better closeups will change my mind, but I think it's gaudy... and this comes from a guy who wears all over printed hoodies.

[MANN]

I wouldnt worry about the remarks tonn. at 150+ you really cant make out what is on someones helment.

[t0nnn]

I wouldnt worry about the remarks tonn. at 150+ you really cant make out what is on someones helment.

[Madmarx]

The rescue guys will when they're scrapin' his pieces up off the pavement.
At 150 there won't be much left after but it'll still look gay.

[slade]

where are you going to find pink tassels that fit the handlebars of a zx6?

I like how he posts it up, KNOWING FULL WELL he's getting flamed, then gets all pissy about it.

Dude, you have a "synonym for homosexual that isnt caught by the filter, goddamn!" helmet.

[t0nnn]

you think i'm getting pissy about all these responses? you're all clowns whoever is saying stuff about ME. If you don't like the helmet, simply say i don't like the helmet, the flowers are gay, its too bright, blah blah blah

Like Slade, Shows his Sister and she say's i'm a sissy, oh wow ...awesome both of you go play in traffic

the threads out of hand, if you don't like the helmet, thats great!!!! ..I do and as i said in my first post flame all you want about the flowers & helmet ...no need to make remarks towards me

your helmet is limp wrist.

I thought that was your thing?

[gimp]

The only cool graphics on a helmet are either skulls, naked chicks, or dragons. Soumy makes some sweet dragon ones too.

What do you have for a helmet now? I've got a matte black shoei RF-1000. I'm thinking of getting a nice arai next season. Those helmets are awesome.

Now that's a helmet!

[thecavemankevin]

ARAI !!!!! :headbang:
Now that's a helmet!

but do they make one with pretty little flowers? cause if not then its just to manly

[Steelrat]

Dude, I'm all for open and free discussion, but you CAN NOT post up something like that on a forum populated mostly by adolescent males and NOT expect to be flamed to hell.

[gimp]

I can't decide between these two helmets.

[Empyreal Rogue]

It's funny how purchasing a helmet that someone else owned and 'flowered up' suddenly makes him homosexual. It's not even in his possession yet.

Me for example, if I found a good deal on, say, a 1967 Shelby GT, I couldn't give a damn what the hell is painted all over it. The car could be pink on the inside and outside with Wal*Mart brand flame decals. I own one of the rarest and most sought after cars in the world.

are you really comparing this helmet to "Eleanor?"

i went for the mainframe skull helmet

He wants his helmet back.

[Empyreal Rogue]

are you really comparing this helmet to "Eleanor?"

Well yes and no.

No because Eleanor had a beautiful paintjob and an immaculate interior.

Yes because the concept would be, hypothetically, the exact same. It's something I've always wanted and I paid a good price for it, ergo I could care less what it looks like. Especially considering that those flowers can be removed when the OP actually has the helmet in his own hands.

[oneworld]

that makes me want to sell my helmet right now and buy that one, way nice, i bet that cost alot more than what i paid for mine tho.

still awesome.

[gimp]

Icon helmets look sweet, but it feels like your wearing a toilet on your head. They just fit terrible.

I wear an Icon milspec vest and it's awesome. I recommend the vest to everyone. I'm kind of getting into the shift jackets though. They make some nice textile ones. Much better than the Icon and joe rocket textiles.

I really like the shoei diabolic helmets too. You don't get that poser stunter look you get with the icons.

I'm also a gear whore. I spend a lot more money on riding gear than I do on bike upgrades. I ride like a retard, so I need the gear. It's better to sweat than to bleed.

[Ninjeff]

tOnn , for the recorsd, i actually RIDE a motorcycle, and i like the helmet. I wouldnt wear it, but im not flashy really. Still, i bet it DOES look killer. And the price was a steal for the quality of helmet you have.

For the record i have a Shoei rf-1000 in gloss black with a gold visor.

Still, i think its kinda cool.

The Shift jacket is NICE, I have the Avenger jacket. I love it. Fits like a glave, very well made, good protection, and killer looks. Doesnt breathe as well as some mesh ones, but the protection is worth it.

Buy a Shift jacket. You wont be sorry.

[t0nnn]

any info on some leather? i'm gonna get a new jacket with the bike and i'm not really sure on what to get....i'm gonna try a lot on, but any info (pros/cons) on some brands would help

[thecavemankevin]

tonn, found one....

http://img.auctiva.com/imgdata/1/5/6/1/0/0/webimg/36953252_tp.jpg

[gimp]

I wear an alpinestar stage leather jacket. It's all perforated, so it's nice in the hot weather. I was specifically looking for a perforated one, and there really weren't to many options. I did try on a lot of shift leather jackets, and they were really comfortable. Most of them were a little to flashy for me though.

Just remember to buy a jacket that fits real tight. The leather will stretch, and you don't want loose leathers. They don't save your skin when the jacket just rides up your back when you fall.

Wow is that a blast from the past or what ?
A bananna seat ! :clap:

I had a plain white one on one of my bikes back in the 60's.
It was the cool must have bicycle seat when I was a kid.


Two squares of acid and I would be all about that helmet......


Now that was from the 70's . :tard:
The 70's were good to me. I dont remember them, but they were good to me....I think.

i actually just picked up the icon merc jacket a little bit ago, feels really nice, havent actually had a chance to use it yet , but it cost me 120.00.. worth it tho.. and i agree with gimp, i would rather sweat than bleed, i also ride like an idiot alot of the time.

[AirAssault]

Funniest part of this thread is that most the people cracking up the helmet don't have the hair on their sack to ride. I like the helmet. I cant wear anything but shoei because they fit me best. I have this: http://thumb2.webshots.net/t/55/455/1/56/71/2506156710041328042Pnkpds_th.jpg (http://good-times.webshots.com/photo/2506156710041328042Pnkpds)

The fact that the helmet has flowers means nothing. I think it looks great and a guy that wears it is a bigger man than some of you ripping him. Why does a helmet have to have skulls and fire to make it manly? What are you trying to compensate for?

Real men aren't affraid to wear things that others may think are "gay". The fact that some of you are speaking out so strongly against this helmet, makes me wonder what YOU have to hide.

[rkjunior303]

wow.

yes, i went there.

[t0nnn]

I have no problem with the helmet. I cant wear anything but Shoei because nothing else really fits my head well. I protect my bean with this X-11: http://thumb2.webshots.net/t/55/455/1/56/71/2506156710041328042Pnkpds_th.jpg (http://good-times.webshots.com/photo/2506156710041328042Pnkpds) Best helmet I have ever worn.

The fact that some of you are speaking out so strongly against this helmet makes me wonder what YOU have to hide. A real man isn't affraid to wear things others may call "gay". So for all of you so scared of what this helmet "says" about a man that wears it, what is really going on? Some sexual issues you would like to come out of the closet and talk about?

Sweet helmet and wear it with pride.


THANK YOU.

I never got a chance to try a Shoei on, but I imagine they fit very well. I have tried the Suomy on and they fit me good so i went with it.

you know, i actually have to admit, that helmet is pretty damn agg.

it just needs more pink.

and you need some gucci racing gear.

[t0nnn]

you're rediculous dude lol....

oh yeah I was scared, it did take me a few days to work up the courage to post pics!!!

are you kidding me?

[FooTemps]

... that's a lot of glitter... I wonder how many pixies/fairies/whateverthehellmysticalcreature they killed to make that helmet. Definitely looks a lot less fruity close up but that doesn't mean it's not fruity.

also think that they gray accents look worse up close.

[CaliMagFan]

that helmet is straight gangster. I ride dirt not street, but if i did i'd rock something bright and pinkish. i think what you're getting is a bunch of resentment from young/ middle aged men that A) dont have the balls to ride/ rock sick gear like that. and B) dont get laid anywhere near as much as someone willing to wear a stylin peacocking piece like that... more power to you and ride well. dont give these naysayers a thought.

[slade]

well, imagine that, i need a new motorcycle helmet :(

maybe i should get this one <.<
