Cool looking helmets but too rich for my blood.

I'm a full face helmet kind of guy. Those remind me of what I wore back in the 1970s when I had a Honda CT70. Full face is a lot warmer in the winter as well.

+1 they look top-notch to me. I have one old half helmet (shorty), a modular full-face and one ol' school like this would complete my line-up.

Take a look at the finishing and stitching... sweet...

Mine's not as cool looking as those Rubys but at 1/8th the cost, it's cool enough.

Really? I've never had any problems with lifting, and I ride fast without a windshield. Right before Thanksgiving, I went on a 300 mile ride just to blow out the spiders from the exhaust and my Biltwell felt great.
I do have an old Fulmer that I've had since the mid 70's. It lets so much wind in, it feels like it's actually liftining my head.
There's a thread on Chopcult.com about with pics from a guy who hit a mountain at 30 mph with his Biltwell. He did break his jaw, but admits that would have probably happened with anything less than a full face helmet.

url8, I never met "Shakey Jake" but I heard that he was a great guy, (and anything but shakey)

Fulmer V2 - unfortunately, they don't sell their helmets online. You gotta get 'em from a retail store.

Nice helmet, until the first time you knock it off onto the pavement.

They look great, and I am sure the price is somehow due to the very high quality. I don't know about sweating into a leather lining, tho. But then, different helmets for different people.
