OK, So Bikes are another of my passions.  Been riding my whole life, Sportbikes, dirtbikes, and even a couple of Harleys.  

Now I'm down to just one bike, but I needed a good Hi-Vis Helmet.  Visibility is freaking critical while riding, enough folks trying to kill you outta malice without encouraging the dim to take part.


This lid should get the job done, my brain will be happy, it flows a lot of air and by god you'll see me coming.

And...  It's even relevant.  

RX7 Corsair "Tommy Gun" to go with the Moto Guzzi Griso.  Cute chick tossed in as gravy, bonus she loves guns...









I love it with the gold Visor as well, keeps me hidden, keeps the sun outta my eyes, and gives it that Disco Throwback look.

Found a better helmet pic...at 30 mph.









Looks like we have an Arai thread going here....

I saw a guy on a crotch rocket today wearing a full samurai mask and helmet.  I had to do a double take then laugh.  I doubt it would be very effective in protecting against brain damage in a collision.

Nice...  I figured there were some Arai fans and riders out there.

We need to all get together for some offhand shooting while riding training...

I was thinking Southcenter Parking lot would a be a good place.  








KIDDING....  



But good to see some fellow riders and Arai enthusiasts.  I've purchased one non Arai in the last 10 years and I regretted it within a couple of weeks.
This one is the bomb.  Loud as hell, but I'm wearing earplugs most of the time and the airflow is worth it.

Too late. Brain damage already done.

You know, I don't usually like crotch rockets, but that there is sexy.

ETA: It's probably 90% the fact that it says Guinness on the side.

A few weeks ago on I-5 in Tacoma we saw a guy on a bike that looked just like that.

Nice to see another Guzzi running around. I was up to Moto International today gathering some parts for a handlebar conversion. I can't do the clip ons for more than a few hours but I don't want to get rid of the bike. Wearing an AGV helmet currently but seriously thinking about an Arai.

Older pic, but you can kinda see my helmet there. It's a Schuberth C3.








Closer view.










Replaced their company logo a couple weeks ago.

I had an HJC that was an excellent value, and a few other helmets.

Then I got my "dream" 3/4 helmet with smoked shield. I still wear it sometimes but perfer the Arai 'cuz people can't see my face.

And I've only seen one other flat black fullface with a chrome visor in 3 years. And you could see through his visor, so mine's better.

NICE!  How's Dave?  

Been meaning to head down there, my Griso is Hemorrhaging.   Not significantly but enough that I should have it looked at.  

I had reached a point on the Busa where I was simply not enjoying the ride anymore.  The Guzzi fixed that.  I've got a Dirt bike bar on the Griso it's a Pro Taper EVO, Carmicheal bend I believe.  The Aluminum soaks up a lot of vibes and gives a different look.  I love my Griso, and Dave made it a painless and fun buying experience.

In fact, the Griso is bike that put the fun back into riding for me.  Hell, when I cleaned out my toy collection...  The Griso was the only thing left.


All gone now except the Moto Guzzi.  

Here's another shot just for giggles...   She's a very cool person, a little scattered, but very cool.
