Anyone know if the "roof" logo is a sticker? Or is it painted on?

I've had 2 Roof helmets in the past - both have been stickers.

Speaking of Designerhelmets.com! Does anyone know if one can purchase ROOF, or MOMO helmets in the US? Are there any authorized dealers or is this a Euro-only thing? THANKS!

I was looking at Roof helmets yesterday, and they had stickers.

Spitfires look really nice. Very retro. But I want a full face for me (I currently use a 3/4).
By the way I e-mailed designerhelmets.com and they said that for the Roof Daytona (the one I wanted) the logo is painted on.

That Kinda sucks, because I hate using my forhead as a billboard. That's a deal breaker when I shop for helmets.

I asked the same thing earlier in the General forums - got this in return.

The Spitfire helmet is cool. But I am not sure I would want to be seen wearing one as it is just to "aesthetic." Ie, it would go well with the Triumph 68 Metro Bags.

But maybe I would pick up one in a size S or M for the pillion riding ladies. It is a cool design:

Those style of helmet look really cool & retro, but are a poor design unless you sport a Vespa. At Highway speed, the air gets under the sheild & wreaks HAVOC. It pulls the thing all sorts of ways, and you have to wear glasses or goggles to keep from tearing.

I keep wanting something that looks cool like this, or a vintage bell/fulmer something cool. The captain america helmet rules. I think it's not worth dropping a coupla hun' just to have a helmet that looks cool but doesn't do anything.

I think I'll stick with my Scorpion Full Face. Yeah, it's hot as hell in the summer, but my face is intact, and it fits perfect, no tearing or dust in the eyes.
