I'm not a 3/4 helmet wearer, well, not since the 70's. But, I was looking around at Destination Daytona, and saw this on the shelf.
Wow, it gave me a flashback, looks cool as Hell.
That has always been my favorite Harley logo, and I had to have it. It's a Bell 500. They named it the Harley Americana. So, I guess I'll start wearing a 3/4 again after all these years.

The biggest part of these helmets do not have ventilation.

I'm a hot head, have to have air moving through. Close vents in cold....

Are there any 3/4 helmets that have a hole in the back so my man-bun doesn't get crushed. I hate it when I look like I just stepped out of Esquire magazine but my bun is squished. I may have to give up riding if my cool factor is affected.

Yep, what young boy didn't love old "Evil Knievel" growing up!

AND the old #1 logo as well.

So, what's wrong with the Great Kazoo? LOL! Actually, just go FF and you'll be stealth.

Oh man. Why'd you go and have to post this? Now I'm gonna have to head down to the dealership and look around.


That's freakin awesome.
