Vintage Motorcycle Crash Helmet




Yet another late 70's plastic (I like fiberglass) motorcycle helmet. High gloss finish but no interesting features.

Vintage Ampro Motorcycle Helmet With Period Stickers







This is an Ampro 3/4 helmet...typical lower end hat from the late 70's early 80's. I do like the period stickers. As I have said in earlier posts I go out of my way to preserve the stickers.

Old Blue Motorcycle Crash Helmet

This is an older American made fiberglass helmet. The original makers label is long gone. Nothing special about it, been repainted blue. I do like the shield.

Vintage Crown C-1 Sovereign MkIII Metal Flake Motorcycle Helmet

Crown C-1 Sovereign MkIII...that's a heck of a name for a motorcycle helmet! I really like this one. To start with the shape is right out of the Jetsons, looks space age. Next is the finish, red metal flake is always good. It has a competition stripe and that alone will get me to buy an old helmet. The really cool thing about this helmet is the badges on the sides......with crossed checkered flags no less. All this adds up to a great moto hat out of the past.









Old Full Coverage Vetter Bell Helmet







Bell Helmets made helmets for the Craig Vetter company. What could be better than a Windjammer fairing on your Honda 750 and a Vetter skid lid on you head. Good times.

Hondaline Hawk Motorcycle Helmet By Shoei







This is a very clean Hondaline Hawk full coverage helmet. They were made for Honda by Shoei. This helmet is from the late 70's.....great condition for its age. As you can see the original owner personalized it, good stuff.

Rough Condition Bell 500tx







The title says it all....... this is a rough condition Bell 500tx. It was hidden way up in the rafters, I'd forgot it was there. A new paint job would bring it back to life.....but I'm afraid it aint gonna happen.
