Snagged the link off of FB.
(ok, usually Avatard is our bikeexif poster, but I decided to take a turn)

Awesome custom job on that Thruxton.
Damn shame about Christian Clayton, though.

I vaguely remember seeing that bike before. Probably on the Fender website when it debuted. Sad news about the man, way too young.

It was in one of the bike mags a few months ago, I don't remember which one.

Right! Bingo. That's where I saw it.

...on the crapper.

Damn, that bike is fine!

If I had that, I'd rock the leather helmet and all.

There have to be some vintage style helmets that have that look with modern safety materials.
(although they're probably stupid expensive for what they are)

Some of the Davida helmets fit that bill. They look cool as hell, have provisions for goggles, and are obscenely expensive for what they are.

Actually, now that I look, JP has some for ~$100 that would fit the look of that bike nicely.
Too bad they aren't marked DOT. Guess it's a toss up between aesthetics and full function.
