He wants his helmet back.

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.

i went for the mainframe skull helmet






flowers are cool also..

did you see the new skull, the domain decay ...very nice

still awesome.

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.

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.

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....

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.

Holy Tabernacle !

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

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 .
The 70's were good to me. I dont remember them, but they were good to me....I think.

I just spewed my Grape Fanta all over my computer at work. Nice one!
