Bell 500 Custom Bonneville Skratch inspired black open face

[Ross]

Way back in the dark mists of my riding history, 1979, I had a Bell Helmet. It was my first helmet. It was yellow. Yellow makes you safer as it is easier to see. This is what my parents told me when I went to pick a helmet. HAHAHAHAHAHA.

See how awesome I looked back then on that power house of a 125.



Today I got my second Bell helmet. It ain't yellow. It's a very awesome 500 Custom "Bonneville" Skratch inspired black open face.





The lining is way better than more expensive helmets I have seen.

I have a weird shaped head and find that some helmets do not sit well on my melon. This one is so comfy.

Top marks Bell.

Australia should bring back front number plates - the world needs a good laugh.

My first helmet was an open face Stadium Project 3(?) A good helmet, I bounced it off the side of a grave truck tray about 6 months after I bought it. It worked as described. Well .

I remember that bloke! Wow, that was a long time ago Sibbo. He used to sell post holes as well iirc.

So, he did both square corners AND round? Very multi-talented!

Yeah.
He once lost several holes off the back of the grave truck. Never found them.
Apparently.

It looks like a very nice helmet, and as much as I like things flat black, when it comes to the uppermost part of my body going down the road, I will keep my light-reflecting white color.

I need a chin piece to make me feel safe, too.
