Keep'n it Old School!

So recently I decided to "chill" when it comes to motorcycles...I have never been a "Biker" nor have I ever tried to portray one...but the more and more I see, from all sorts, I am eager to try something different. Much like the reason behind buying my Bonnie...I wanted to be different from the rest of the group...not bashing any brand, model, type...I Love them all...but I was never attracted to the FULL RACE SUIT sport bike click...the Leather clad Cruiser Biker, the Kilamangaro Dakar multis, or the T-shirt-Shorts and Sunday lawn mowing sneakers (white with the green grass stains)...Anyhow...I'm down with Old School in a whole new way...I'm bringing back whatever I can in my own way...

Ladies and Gentlemen...the BUCO style bubble face shield!! Laugh or not...I'm bringing it BACK!! I hope...




Cheers!

Nothing wrong with that Mondo... well except maybe the color. I think a smoke tinted bubble shield would look way better on the black, silver and gray helmet.


PS: I try to distance myself for the local "bikers" too. Being on or around bikes most of my life, I like to consider myself to be more of a "motorcycle enthusiast".

my quest for a helmet more suiting my newly purchased Bonnie has led me down a couple paths, only problem is, everyone I find I like I can't buy here in the US. All are only available in the UK or EU. I'm diggin the retro look on yours. If it was a full face I'd be on one too.

I like the bubble shield, but that one doesn't fit that helmet.

I consider myself a motorcycle enthusiast too, or moto-dork, or moto-snob.

I’m with road_dog, I think a smoke tint bubble would look better with your helmet but thats just my 2 cents.

Yea, motorcycle enthusiast, I'm not into the biker thing.

Not having had time to acclimate yet it was too dang hot for me.

No rhododendron festival for me tomorrow. I’m going to the gun show then trying to find a way to bring my camera with me on Sunday.
I may have to pick up a tail pack.

HAHAHA...Funny Guy! I see how it is...HA!

As for the color...I know it's not a perfect match, but I'm a Function first type of guy...I'll be getting a Smoked as well, but they were backordered on the Smoke...So I thought I'd rock the amber for now seeing as how I can wear it in the morning when the sun is barely coming up (4:40am)...and then throw my shades on under it for the ride home...

The Amber sure does "Sharpen" things up...it's like a giant pair of Driving glasses...

Cheers!
