I think showing this pic is good mate.

Newbies join everyday here. So if they have any sense they will take a look at this picture and ask, "If this happened to my cupcake hole, would it improve my image?" Razz emoticon

WAKE-UP! F@#$?

I lost a dear friend 22 years ago in Scotland who crashed into the back of a trailer with no brake lights. The doctor told our scooter club, had he been wearing a Full faced helmet, he would have survived the impact. Many scooter boys and mods rode to his funeral without helmets that day.
And that was the last day i ever did. Back then it was uncool to wear a full faced helmet with your parker and all the Mod stuff, but i did.

My Friend, died of brain damage, he was 17 years old.

The actual MSRP on that helmet was $260. I wouldn't have paid $140 for a used helmet...not when I can buy a brand new one for cheap. It's nice to have the hook-ups.

You mean, it is the helmet version of "jumping the shark"?

When people at work say would never wear a full face, I tell them that it's cool, because LA has some of the best facial reconstruction surgeons in the world. They must not think this is good enough, because they usually end up getting a full face..

i dont know where this thread turned to in the three pages it has....

but to post on the original topic...


that helmet is the RAREST of the RARE vespa helmets...

that shit is pearl on top of rareatanium....

i sold one about a month ago... sold it to some dude in taiwan for over $300.00...

dudes in taiwan pay top top dollar for anything original vespa.

but if you paid any less than the normal retail $260.00 you got a smokin deal...

Why don't the police, in any country for that matter, wear full face helmets?
And they do high speed chases?

Cops Helmets and pistols
The motor cops have to be able to see down into a car to look for wepons.

They must feel that the danger of being shot happens more often than the danger of their chin hitting the ground.

Have you ever tried to handle a hand gun with a helmet on. Its a pain in the ass.

Back on topic.
Wait this is the Pritty Pritty Princess Helmet thread.

Thats a little off topic...So Back to the Topic at hand.

Do you think that Vespa Branded helmets could get any more sissy looking?

Even the Sissys I know wont sport them... in feer of being discoverd in thier sissyness or something.

You cant blame Vespa as new Vespa buyers keep buying them. We had one to give away at a raffle and our raffle was pick your own prize... You guessed it that Vespa Helmet was almost dead last. It was donated buy a club member that also won it at a raffle.

Crap he should have sold it on e-bay.


Now can we finely lock this thread and let this die?

That's a lie! The $350 price tag seemed a bit steep 5 years ago.
