No sweat here. Only Love. Face off !
Attachment 11722 Attachment 11723
I had been away from motorcycles for a couple of decades when I decided it was time to start riding again about 7 or 8 years ago. I came across a 1983 Honda VF750F Interceptor not too far from me and had always loved the look of those back in the day. I had no riding gear at the time and wasn't sure I was going to want the bike so didn't want to go and quickly invest in a bunch of gear without doing any research. But, I also knew that I was going to need a helmet to satisfy local law enforcement if I ended up liking the bike and buying it. So, I went to our local Goodwill and found an old helmet that looked a lot like this...same color and everything. The padding was essentially non-existent and was probably more of a danger to wear than not wearing a helmet at all. But, I bought it for like $5. I ended up wearing it to ride that Interceptor home. I wish I would have taken a pic. Me riding that bike wearing the sparkling blue 70s helmet and my business casual attire from work. :black_eyed: Needless to say I quickly went and did the research to start buying some real gear. I've gone through a few helmets as I've honed in on what I like. I just bought my first Shoei. A GT Air 2. Expensive, but it is the highest quality helmet I've owned (previous were Scorpion and HJC).

Attachment 11739Attachment 11740Attachment 11741 Carlos got his new lid and mine showed up today. HJC RPHA 11 Pro Carbon. Unbelievable lid, full race system. Emergency side pods that I hope I NEVER have to use, EMS can pull em in case of a get off that leaves the rider incapacitated and the helmet can be removed safely and quickly.
That's a nice looking helmet.
Thats a sweet hat WC! Whats it weigh?
Thanks gentlemen, 3lbs 1 ounce. Sportbike track gear gave it rave reviews and Revzilla said it is hands down the BEST race helmet money can buy.
I looked into it and wow! That's a whole list of legit 'race' features at a price attainable by us regular humans. Might be my next lid when the AGV times out soon:eagerness:
^^^^^^ Shaughn, I think I would suggest the HJC RPHA ST 70 instead it's more of a street/track helmet. The 11 is full blown race, no power windows (drop down internal visor), and it's shape is not designed for 3/4 street riding position. To be perfectly honest I think the 70 is a much better looking lid. If I didn't need full race specs I would've bought the 70 all day long.Attachment 11758 That is one damn good looking helmet!!!!!!
Some of these members are scratching their heads right now and saying, what the heck is Easy Rider ?
A helmet looks just like this Lunatic:
