...That you DONT own but hopefully one day will!  [bacon]

Anyone remember this? The 200k white lambo that had a sharpie taken to it by the artist Mr. Cerwinske?

Well, I absolutely LOVE the Bell helmet designed by him. So cool. Carbon shell with white sharpie art.

I actually found a good deal on a suomy Spec 1R "Gambler" on Ebay so I bought it, if it doesn't fit I hope to sell it on the forums and pick up the bell!

Scorpion's fit my head like a glove, but they don't look like a cross between a fighter pilot and a StormTrooper.  Roof's Boxer is my favorite helmet that I will never own.  Unless someone around here puts them on the shelf.  A helmet is something that I would prefer to try on before I buy.

If only it were legal to wear.

I actually own this helmet, but I wish I could have a version that didn't have colors that fade! 

After a month of wearing it, it looks mostly green and blue.   [roll]

No dice on exchanging under warranty?  Over a year old?

I take it that you live in a "helmet required" state?? I think you can wear that here in AZ!!  [cheeky]

Yea, California, thanks to Gary Busey and his crash history.  Not that I'm arguing, it's dangerous out here, gotta wear a helmet.

I would LOVE to see someone wearing that Gladiator helmet, that'd be supremely bad ass.

I've always wished/dreamed for 2 helmets:

1) The helmet from the 1980's show Airwolf:

2) The helmet (and armor) from the 1990's show Super Force:

I remember thinking back then that those were SOOOOO cool! I still do, but not in the same way.

That Bell Helmet plus the available Transitions Shield would be my pick.
