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.

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!
