  • My New Helmet!

    Actually it's a Skin from Skull Skins dot net. I saw an add in a bike mag and thought it looked cool. It does look cool but it's really hard to see out even thought they claim it only blocks 5% of your view. I'd say more like 40-50% since half the visor decal is perforated and half is opaque. It's very distracting while riding because your looking thru a screen. However, it was a blast to see people and kids reactions. I got lots of thumbs up and waves. Already took it off and I'm not sure if the decal will restick or not. I was gonna buy an extra visor because it was a be-otch getting the decal on the curved surface but the extra visor cost $40. Not a wise investment for my $80 helmet. See what ya think.







    And last but not least I got a new 10MP camera and was trying out the Sepia. I kinda dig the look without the red stripes. Next one I do might be all black!

      I thought I was a good looking unit!

      I bow to you , Sir.

      And like Prom says, why not show off the helmet?

        i thought that was you that pulled into the parken lot of my work the other day! Thats an awesome helmet! If i wore a full face i would get one of those! But my dome is to big for a full face! hahahaha!
        Yes it's a damn nice bike, yes it's in REALLY good condition, yes it would be a shame to chop it, BUT damn how cool would it look with ape hangers?

            Yeah I thought that was you outside. I stole my wifes I-POD and was trying to adjust the volume. Better to pull over to do that! How's your bike doing? I didn't comment on the thread but I like your slammed Chebby too. I used to be into that....then I got married and I'm not that cool anymore.
