This is an old Romer helmet that dates back to the 50's. I am sure the paint job is a more recent addition. No idea what the Japanese caricature means.
There is a story behind this hat......I had an original but unrestored Moto One BMX bike. A guy wanted the Moto One but I was not interested in selling, it had been picked up on the cheap! He knew I collected helmets so he scoured the swap meets around Los Angeles until he found this. So for a little bit of cash and this helmet, he is the proud owner of the Moto One. Both of us are pleased.
This is a great hat that any of the current Cafe Racer/Ton Up types would love to have.

Is it just me, or does this helmet look like something Speed Racer would use? But, really, where do you get these helmets? They must cost a fortune! There should be a "______ was here" somewhere inside, just to list the previous owners of these helmets. I wonder how many heads have braved the road with this one?
