Let's see your lids.....Who has the "COOLEST" lid???
I have been looking on the web for a long time trying to find some really cool helmets. Or some place that does custom helmet paint....
Then I thought.. there must be some people on the forum with nice lids...

That peppermint drop helmet is SWEET. 
Did you find a price? It's obviously painful from all the detail put into those.

Yeah, but you get a cool box to store it in... 
I have an HJC 1/2 helmet and a H-D full face that the front swivels up when you need it to (has a lock release to lift it up and a standard flipup shield). this is a cool feature...

Those are some cool helmets..... I was at the B.A,D. ride 2 years ago and this guy rode up on a chopper that almost looked unridable, he was wearing white Converse all-stars, blue and white verticle striped pants and a GUMBY t-shirt.... Atop his bushy noggon was a lime green metal flake (3/4) helmet.
It occured to me that RETRO is a touchy thing.... on a HIP enough individual, it's RETRO COOL. .... On a regular middleaged dude, it looks like you are wearing all the same gear you had in the 70's

 Synde's on the floor right now, LHAO!! I highly resemble that remark!! Although, I can't get her to tell me where my striped pants are??
Here's my '77 Artie Fulmer Hawk AF40. Had it since I was 25.

Here's mine. Had to play with the padding a little to get it comfortable, but I really ended up liking it. Get a lot of comments on it, too.
Looks alot better when you take the black ear flaps off.
