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.

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.
