Best Helmet Graphic?

I dug Melissa Paris' version of the Jolly Roger. I think it was the year she was racing stink wheels.

 

The Kimster's



Or Lauda's last one

 

always loved the Suomy extreme

First: Canepa - still have it and love it.

Second: Capirossi - loved it til I went down in T8 at WSIR and destroyed it. It's a conversation piece in my garage.

 

bell star laguna seca sbk is a personal fav

 

I love my Kagayama replica. I like the designs that aren't too busy like the Dunlop and IOM ones. Haga had a cool one with him on a tractor on the back. Only ones I really dislike are ones with energy drink logos or other sponsor stuff on them.

 

+1
The Black and gold IOM TT Drudi design is badass. And also agree that energy drink sponsors suck. I can't believe people are actually paying for those helmets.

 

I still have one brand new in the box!

 

The TT helmet and the Tommy Hayden one are awesome. I still have my Hayden one.

My other favorite is the Simoncelli.

 

Hands down, my favorite. Chucked it off Pike's Peak and only got like 3 sprints out of it.

 

Always liked the Gobert replica.

 

I had that helmet in white several years ago. I hated the graphics at first, but learned to love them! Wrecked in a crash, collects dust in the garage now.

 

I prefer the "keep it simple stupid" graphics. What I use and is my favorite.

 

Tis a shame you can't get Suomy helmets anymore. They always had amazing graphics and they fit my noodle the best.

 

Always liked Nigel's helmet

 

I usually paint mine, the same way I always have, old school look, three big red scallops on white with gold lines and name and number in gold leaf. When I was a poor starving student (just a little while ago, ahem) I did it myself, with rattle cans and gold tape.

For store bought, I vote for the first Russell as the most outrageous of the gamechangers. Similarly, any of the Hagas. Never owned either one though. Had a ton of helmets, and like the Colin, and the Hayden, and the Freddie Arais. I don't go for all the busy tiny pattern stuff that seems to be popular now though--can't tell what you are looking at from 50 feet away.

If we are including dirt helmets, I go for the Ricky Johnson Bell, with the bulldog, red, white and blue with gold leaf. Guy was epic, his career at the top of supercross/motocross too short.

 

Any Yanagawa replica lid is my choice..................for obvious reasons, of course!
