Those helmets aren't just legandary but bullet proof also. That reminds me to go into the attic tonight. I think I still have a full face Fulmer.

Dude, I so want that lid!!! I've been eyeing that gold beauty for awhile. I need to get fitted at Bikers Dream of ATL before I place the order.

The newer lids have a patch with the build date sewn into the inside liner. I'm not sure about the older ones, as I usually throw them away after ten years or so. I'd be careful using it as a helmet if it really was thirty-eight years old. They get old and brittle and lose their effectiveness.
