Hmm, if that thing repels the radar detectors and keeps you from getting a ticket then you've really got something there.  Otherwise, there's something terribly insecty about it.  Guess I'm getting old.  Pass the geritol, fire up my pacemaker and lift my ageing body onto that motorcycle, it's time to ride!   mo:t:

Whew, I was about to write them some hate mail for not having a Marine Corps helmet but then I checked the FAQ.  Fall 2008.  Might have to look into that one.

Could just go with an Icon Devil Dog if you're in a hurry.

Someone else posted this on another thread but, wanted to add it here since the visor goes on these helmets.  Pretty cool concept press a button to tint your visor.
Too bad I can't rock most of the helmet since I'm not military.

The visor mounts look very similar to shoei mounts... anyone have info on this?  I'd wouldn't mind trying on one of these... kinda got screwed last time i ordered a helmet off the net w/o trying it on first. 

ps fyi fox helmets run small... luckily i don't wear it everyday.

I knew i saw this helmet somewhere before... a little browsing through the site lead me to this.

Pretty neat, the visor is electrically charged so that it'll darken at the push of a button.

Still pretty cool.  Even if it does fit another helmet, this helmet brand had it's own wired system so it would take some custom work

I believe he was referring to Big Bear the DMF member.

And yeah, I've heard of Devil Dogs (http://www.drakesdevildogs.com/).

I prefer Swiss Cake Rolls.

CLICK ON PICK 9 TO SEE THE badly drawn Dog BEAR (http://www.akumahelmets.com/product_helmet_DevilDog.html)  Maybe it's the drill Sargent.

For those into Military looks that Helmet has it in Spades.

<threadjack begin>

A sailor and a Marine were standing next to each other taking a piss.  The Marine zips up and starts to walk out the door when the sailor says to him "Hey Marine! In the Navy they taught us to wash our hands after we piss."  The Marine calls back over his shoulder without breaking stride, "Oh yeah? In the Marines they taught us not to piss on our hands."

Semper Fi

Marine in full Dress Blues walks into the men's restroom and goes to the urinal. As he's pissing, a little boy walks up to him, taps him on the leg and asks "are you a real Marine?" He said "yes I am, would you like to wear my cover". The little boy is thrilled, marching around the restroom with the Marine's cover on like Billy Badass. Just then, a drunken Sailor comes stumbling in, and starts pissing at the first urinal he sees. Little boy comes and taps him on the leg and says "are you a real Sailor?" He slurs back "yeah, you wanna suck my dick?" Little boy doesn't miss a beat and says, "no sir, I'm not a real Marine, I'm just wearing his hat!"

Know what the difference between the Sea Cadets and the "real" Navy is?

Sea Cadets have adult leaders.

i dont get it. is the joke making fun of the marines or the navy sailors for trying to get a little boy to suck his d*ck.
Title: Re: Military Helmets.
Post by: NAKID on December 21, 2008, 03:35:46 PM
Sailors are always drunk. But, the boy assuming he wants him to suck his dick because he looks like a Marine is the punchline. I guess you have to know the history between the Navy and the Marine Corps. By the way, there is no "Department of the Marines", we own them! ;D
