Cool Bicycle Helmet

biknut · Dec 10, 2013

This is the coolest bicycle helmet I've ever seen. Also probably the most expensive. I wish I had a money tree.

NO Way , 333 they wacked out of their skull

I have seen those in the DOT legal motorcycle variety too.

Something tells me that I'll be sticking with my old pink cycle helmet for a while longer.
Nice helmet, but 'eek!' price.

It's really designed for racing, and not really a street riding helmet. Aside from the price the main problem I see with it is, I think the tented visor is fixed, so you couldn't use it at night.

They're way too proud of their product. You could buy a great looking DOT approved motorcycle helmet for less than 1/3rd the price and be better protected. Leave that one to the spandex crowd.

I commute to and from work on my non motorized Electras, and since I work on a military base where helmets are required I wear a Nutcase in flat black....probably the least lame bike helmet there is and they're around $60.

When my board tracker is ready I'll probably get a red Biltwell novelty helmet for $99....

I wear a 8 Ball Nutcase, and you're right. As far as bicycle helmets go it's one of the best looking ones. I don't care for the walnut look.

Um.... it says on their website, WARNING: Do not wear the Biltwell Novelty helmet to operate any motorized or non-motorized vehicle.

So what do you do with it, - wear it in bed?

Hmmm ---- I like your style!!

Motor bicycles are kind of the bottom of the food chain when it comes to costs. I know people that are riding around on their motorcycles in $1000 leather riding suits.

It's not uncommon to spend $500 on a motorcycle helmet.

I once met a guy riding a bicycle who ask me how much the Atomic BB cost. When I told him about $550, he said he had more than that in just his seat

LOL, now that's funny. If this wasn't a family forum I could say something really funny about that.

I really don't know what you mean young man. It's just that sometimes I have very exciting dreams.

I do have a bike helmet... it's been on a shelf gathering dust since I got my Voss (motorcycle) helmet. (Pics in this old post) Keep an eye out for the yearly motorcycle show(s) and you can score a decent helmet (and other gear) for a nice price. As an added bonus, you get to take a look at all the customs and some of the amazing paintwork on them.

I almost went with a Reevu, they are pretty neat. Once adjusted, the sliver of mirror above your field of view would probably be easy to get used to.

You will look great in that new helmet riding your Stealth, BK.

I think it's a good idea to wear your helmet to bed. There's a lot of danger in the bedroom.

And/or rock climbing, bungie-jumping, para-sailing, surfing Pipeline, hot air balooning? Skateboarding is out being a non-motorized vehicle lol.

Looks like the perfect helmet for Nashmoto though!

Number 98......Nashmoto!
