That will definitely get people's attention. Kinda looks like a watermelon carved to look like a helmet... Beauty has many meanings as does the word cool...

I think it turned out good. At first look, I didn't like it but looking again it's already grown on me.
Makes me want to do something with my plain black helmet now.

Shaddj.... were drugs or alcohol involved when you did this? Regardless, I dig it. If you're riding an old-school bobber it's perfect. If you're riding a new Road King, well, that's something else entirely.

WAIT, WAIT, WAIT. Hold the press. You can't afford a new helmet and yet you have some fancy schmancy Italian orange juice press? I think you need to re-evaluate your priorities. bwahahaha.
