Modern Vespa

I figured I'd post pictures of my helmet since I never did when I bought it. It came with three different colored visors.











And a picture before my vespa was trashed.

I know (from other threads) some folks think the Ruby Ateliers is just all around wrong, a ridiculously overpriced concession to fashion at the expense of all practicality. Personally, I have no issue with that.

Though I'm unlikely to go back to wearing a 3/4 helmet and these probably wouldn't fit my massive noggin, I have to say I love them. You will never see as fine a paint job on a lid. The leather lining, while maybe not the best thing for riding in the summer heat, is freakin' plush. Luxurious.

So, congrats.

I agree. They're expensive, but they're beautiful helmets
If you can afford to spend the dough, I say go for it.
I got one of these recently for 65 bucks. With the money I saved I think I'll get a round trip ticket to London. lol

I love mine and wished it came with visors. I have an HJC open face so no bigger and it would ruin the artwork on my helmet Here's mine and instead of visors i got a LP of music made especially for my helmet 8) Glad that wasn't hurt because they certainly would be pissed having to replace that one ERIC they get a bad rap and i find mine to be very lightweight (carbon) and soundproof. A good helmet can easily run 500-600 bucks and mine cost a few hundred more so in the grand scheme of things it's all relative. I think of it as my 190 kit for my head

Sweet shots, what kind of camera are you using... lecia?

Very high end , very nice. Maybe when I get some mad money.

These are always very emotional threads.

Jeremy Mine is off the website but it wouldn't be in the shower with a leica I use canon and it's a small one. Sorry to burst your bubble SECOND yeah and i don't get it. You guys are always putting LV"S ,190 kits etc and people who want a cool helmet and don't care about those upgrades get jumped. Buy what you want,ride what you want. I personally don't diss people on what they put in their scooter or on their head.

Not my bag but that looks like an immaculately well made lid, not unlike the Davida range in that respect.

Man, if only I cord afford one, they are beautiful objects! I'd go for a solid color myself. But can't help saying they remind me a little of:

These posts of that helmet makes me want to hold my head and scream! I NEED this helmet!

They are not just helmets, they are art!

If only they made full face...

But when I go to scooter in Italy, I may have to have one of these!

Aw yeah! Lets do this again!

TOR2GA just so you know i've convinced those planes in your avatar to bomb your island about 6pm EST

Judy - I like the helmet even though I am a FF type of guy. Rest of you lot, no need to dig in the land fill.

I am in love with the Ruby. I'm saving for the black one with the white polka dots. I must have it

Sorry about your LXV. I saw your post yesterday. So sad. Very cool artwork. I recognized the Ruby straight away

That thing is sweet. I'm about to go through the pain of getting one here, now i might consider the one with a shield... Is the apparatus removable?
Ps - i've seen the Jeremy making the same comments in multiple threads, hilarious!

FALCON yes they are. I know one is tinted, one is clear and i'm not sure about the other one. CHEF the purple polka dot one is cool. What's nice is they are hi-viz. You can see my helmet coming a mile before you see my scooter

Let me share my helmet and bike

Cheers
