What’s peeps fave helmet designs?
I’m a huge sheene and schwantz fan and have a couple of shwantz reps and done my arai in sheene design.
However was perusing eBay and keep coming across these, they have to be my fave all time colour scheme. Remember working at Frettons Honda mid 1980’s we sold the original super vents in Freddie’s colour.

Gotta be my AGV Kenny Roberts replica   Pity it’s too old to use now. I keep thinking of having a new helmet painted up the same, but it’d cost too much |

In Aus (and selling further abroad now) are Forcite helmets that have inbuilt speakers, mic and camera. You have a control that sits on the bars to do various things, plus instantly delete any footage if you get pulled by the cops...  |

Just seen that we finally are allowed to use the EU standard for helments in Aus, this means finally we can buy Simpson Bandits and not be fined for 'not wearing a helmet', which is what happens here when you use a helmet with an approval thats not recognised.

My favourite design is from Randy Mamola.
I also like the Caribbean style sun with the smiley face. Similar to a few of Rossi's designs. I still can't forgive him for making flurescent yellow/green colours popular.

You disappoint me Freddie 😁, surely it should be bates leathers, wide bars, a supervent and two cam chains?

Big Rainey and Shoei fan, got a couple in my collection! 😁 This would be my favourite as well. Although I think it looks better with a gold visor. |

I’ve just had an epiphany! Ronnie Smith’s (Performance Bikes) magic roundabout design, day and night versions.
I appreciate FM weren’t a premium brand like the big boys, Shoei, Arai, AGV etc, but you can’t argue it was a cool design!.
If only I could post photos, but I’m a total Luddite (Veg will vouch for me!) 😬.

Thanks for posting Jon, Apparently the night time version was in homage to the ending “Boing, said zebedee, time for bed’ 😂👍🏻 |

It was just over 21 years ago that Ronnie died. 21 years ago bloody hell.
