I think I'll be getting a flat black helmet next.

But some people like that fugly Icon helmet a few years ago, so just use what you want... We can always make fun of you.

I have a difficult time making fun of someone that chooses to protect their head. manufacturers making their helmets appeal to there masses is a good thing....

check out the specific in person first if you buy it online. i bought an hjc a few years back it got finger print stains on it that i couldnt remove for the life of me just after i bought it. i know each brand does theirs differently, scorpions is easily cleaned but i went with the gloss black instead

not to mention bug guts.

they also absorb more heat than glossy helmets

i like the paint jobs on the "rider" helmets, doesn't matter who they are. now if you ride around on a repsol bike and wear a repsol lid and jacket, thats a bit much.

and we all know 'busa/gsxr gear sells.

i really do like the uniqness of the Rossi lids, there's a shop closing out the rossi chicken helmet for $300, normally $750+, i was considering it.

but i just can't pull the trigger on a flying chicken. lol

Helmet companies do a shitty job of offering decent generic paint jobs. It's sad the only way to get a decent paint is custom or buying a rider replica.
