Dude has a solid color helmet IIRC... mine isn't solid. Ass.

Kinda reminds me of one of the few other TLR riders I met in Austin back when I had mine.
He rode up to EZ's when we were having our bike night... fairly squidly, except for the oh so stylish silver German army helmet... and announced "WHERE THE PARTY AT?!"

...

Yeah...

ya know... that hawk got your attention didn't it? probably grabbed a lot of soccer moms attention too... it may have been played out by all the "hooligans" a couple years ago...

but I've honestly thought of sporting one... I could care less what other bikers think of how I look... (why I sport a safety reflective vest at night and in the rain) but extra visibility is nice.

If they'd let us strap sawed-off shotguns to our bikes, that'd get their attention too.
Unfortunately, that gets the wrong kind of attention.

actually... I don't know that it's illegal to strap a shotgun to your helemt... it's not concealed... so not like you have to have a special permit. kinda like a gun rack

At least the dude rides his Ducati. I know people who have 1098s and 848s and they're dying to be riden. One dude put all this badass shit on his 1098S, to include carbon fiber wheels, and that mother will never see the track. It's sad.

Putting a giant, purple flashing dildo on the forehead of your helmet would probably stop a few soccer mom's from pulling out in front of you too. But in both cases I'd rather just be more observant and not look like a douchebag.
