Black Bell Moto 3 With Visor

A couple of months back I picked up this vintage Bell Moto 3. I was riding one of my vintage bikes at an ARX (good club) event at the Glen Helen REM Track. The announcer said he was selling some items one of which was an old Moto 3 helmet. I bit,$10 later the hat was in my truck. As you can see it has a history (bumps and bruises) but that is alright.

Personalized Metalflake Motorcycle Helmet

I have been doing other things and have not had the time to post any images of my helmets. Now I have time, this helmet is great. I do not know what the make of this hat is and I don't care, The red metalflake and shooting stars are cool. The custom painted name and Yamaha tuning fork are even better! This is the type of helmet I like adding to my collection,it had a life before ending up in my rafters.

Grant Full Coverage Helmet With Bubble Shield

This is a full coverage Grant with a bubble flip shield. It is not marked,all the stickers have fallen off or been removed. It is identical to another Grant I have. The shield gives it a space helmet look.

Early Bell Star Motorcycle Helmet Pre 120

This is an early model Bell Star helmet. The opening is less than 120 degrees.It is a nice example, the amber flip shield really gives it the right look.It is not dated.

1977 Hondaline Stag Motorcycle Helmet

This is a 1977 Hondaline Stag helmet. As you can see it is really a Shoei. The condition is not very good but I do like the reflective Honda graphics.

Old Romer Motorcycle Helmet 1950's Era

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.

Vintage Arai H A 3/4 Motorcycle Helmet

This is an old Arai,back then they were called H A. Arais have always built quality and that is evident when looking at this hat, 40 years old and has stood the test of time. Arai should do some retro model with the H A logo. The original owner of this helmet was a vodka drinker no doubt. That is not a sticker on the front of the helmet, it is a Smirnoff cloth patch that has been glued on!

The diamond chain stitching on the trim is great. I have a couple of these old H.A's and I admire the commitment to quality every time I handle one.
