Show off Your Helmet!

[Redfox]

Next should be an X-11 Kato

im really interested in this artwork and finaly figured out what the chinese character symbol on the skull means. It stands for "death" though i dont believe in bad juju or what have you i think the art is great.

Yeah I know what it stands for. I can't take credit for any of it, like I said its the trade-mark of a local artist www.huckgee.com arty

Pretty funny.. I saw this thread and thought "cool" not thinking I would see pretty much exactly my same deal. Haha.. By the way, I am pretty sure the symbol is Kanji tho I could be wrong. Check out Huck's other stuff at huckgee.com.

First pic is my HJC CL-15 which I have to say got me by, but sucks. Next pic is what I use now - Shoei RF1000 which is the nicest helmet I have had on my head yet. I thought the matte black looks awesome but after seeing a couple people with them on and how they disappear into the scenery, I decided on shiny.

HJC...

Shoei..

Some people say things about the symbol, but it's essentially a totem which proclaims something to the effect of "Death is already here so f-off" and keeps me safe out there. I used to ride with my pops and a group of dudes, and that is how they explained their skulls and dark imagery.

really cool artist, i found your post ysterday and did some research on the guy. I find his style to be fresh and the spin of culture he throws on his stuff is awesome

I really like that explanation a lot. It bears a lot of truth and I would use that same explanation with confidence when explainign my use of the imagery also. By the way that looks really awesome on the shiney shoei. great choice!

 

[wombatsauce]

great choice!

Thanks! I know my black helmets with stickers slapped on them aren't anything compared to some of the artwork on people's lids, but I still think it's cool.

Either/or, many Mandarin and Japanese are similar if not the same, just said differently.

and most importantly it just looks badass.

Logan they have that one in Salinas... I have a huge boner(no homo) for the Bostrom's but this helmet didn't impress me

I remember way back buying a used helmet from Budman for $60.00.......
At Laguna Seca this year....I dropped like $650 for my new lid.
I love it however and I am now a fan of the Arai Corsair......
( I still have love for the Shoei X11 too)

thanks! my gf gave me the look when i got ANOTHER helmet... lol. its a KBC Tarmac. For some reason, i love the KBC line, and they seem to fit my head well

only thing i dont like, is the matt design is def more prone to scratches/chips then the glossy finish...
