You'd have to be a proper helmet to buy it.

That's why I'm thinking of leaving my tank unpainted, on my project bike.

I quite like it. I wouldn't have one, but it's far safer than having people with unsafe 'retro' lids from the actual 1970s.

Oh! They’re fake battle scars?? didn’t look close enough did I

I’ve got four bash-hats already for some strange reason , I can only wear one at a time, I don’t think I need another, I’ll keep my money in my pocket.

I like it, for me it's an affectionate and well executed nod to the past, heritage, and the passing of time.

I'm wondering if you would have to pair it up with an appropriately retro/classic bike and jacket though to make it work? As it might look a bit odd in combination with one of these very 21st century 'cyborg' looking bikes?

Or maybe an intelligent mash up of different styles and eras - the classic lid with the ultra-modern bike might actually work if you do it right?

On the other hand you could end up looking like a total bellend - either way it's gonna be a close call.

I didn't know plastic could rust..

I've got a couple of 1980s Stadium helmets in similar condition ...

It's as bad as the fake stick on mud.

They do a black one. I'd love to get a black one with a silver mirrored visor and buy a black Porsche and drive around pretending to be Morovich from the terrible Disney live action movie Condorman.

Needs some sort of wiper attachment to clean it and provide clear vision in the rain.

Shut up and take my money

[grr666]

The weathered liner is a nice touch.

Hopefully it doesn't come with an authentic stink.

[xX-Alex-Xx]

There's people who'll wipe their arse on your helmet for free (probably). Sod paying 240 quid for the privilege.
