So this evening I am channel surfing as nothing is on, that I care to watch. When I hit ABC and see a motorcycle helmet being worn by a man in a suit. WTF? I say to myself. I saw this helmet in the back of AIM. Turns out the show is Shark Tank. A show apparently where business owners pitch their product to a panel of potential investors. In return the investor, of course, has a "stake" in the business.
The product is Hells Bells Helmets. Anyone who has read or subscribes to AIM has to have seen the ads for this product. The owner(s) claim they are going to make a profit in this million dollar industry with a 3-D graphic, non-DOT (some DOT), half helmet. They, the owners, netted a fish to buy into this company.
Question; Anyone here own one, or would you ever purchase one? I, honestly, do not think this product is something for me. I am curious about the masses here and what you think. As it was pitched as something that was going to corner the market on Motorcycle helmets.
