NightRider Posted May 11, 2009 Report Share Posted May 11, 2009 I would like to start off by saying how much i enjoy Ohio-Riders. There's a great bunch of people on here. There's assholes where ever you go, but everyone from top to bottom here...seems pretty cool. One thing i did notice though, looking through the forums...these weird looking helmets. Now...i'm not trying to bash anyone, in any way, i was just wondering if someone could tell me why you choose these style's of helmets.They wouldn't look bad on women at all, however i've seen a few of them on men here. Guys, i'm not saying you have to go out and look like the terminator with your lid...but thats what alot of people look at. These helmets, just look a little...feminine...and there's nothing wrong with that. I just feel a man...should look like a man. Here are the helmets in question. At least some that come close to what i have seen. Hope these images work. These helmets just look a little hello-kittyish lol, especially the 2nd to last. Again, if you wear helmets like this, awesome. More power to you. I just don't get the look. Anyone else agree? I tried to put this in the most polite way, without pissing on anyone's shoes. I'm just trying to find the logic behind the choices. Thanks to anyone who chimes in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V4junkie Posted May 11, 2009 Report Share Posted May 11, 2009 I like standing out a bit. That and I don't take myself seriously (ok I admit it, I also like cartoons lol). So instead of throwing down $$$ for a custom helmet I bought the most insane one I could find, ie the seond to last. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RVTPilot Posted May 11, 2009 Report Share Posted May 11, 2009 I have noticed a sharp turn towards the ghey in helmet graphics lately too. I like a lid with some color to it, but it shouldn't look like you won it at a kids' b-day party at Chuck E. Cheese. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magley64 Posted May 11, 2009 Report Share Posted May 11, 2009 I think it's about originality...Picking a helmet that you can be pretty sure that nobody else will be rocking...just the way I kinda figured it works, and part of the reason I chose the bike I did, it's fairly rare and unique Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SAMBUSA Posted May 11, 2009 Report Share Posted May 11, 2009 I'd wear the first one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V4junkie Posted May 11, 2009 Report Share Posted May 11, 2009 The way I see it the safe designs are skulls, scantily clad women, barbwire, tribal designs, and sometimes all of the above. It's played out, I wanted an explosion of color. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lost1888 Posted May 11, 2009 Report Share Posted May 11, 2009 How can there be any originality to wearing anything with the ICON logo? I don't get it!In a seriousness I wouldn't wear any of the helmets pictured. I like plain, flat, as little flash as possible. But to each their own! I would rather see someone in a ghey looking helmet than no helmet at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

that dude Posted May 11, 2009 Report Share Posted May 11, 2009 everyone of those helmets to me sucks ass..the icon lid looks like it belongs to a child, not an adult. suomy helmets all look like ass to me besides the one with the bald eagle. i prefer the designs of shoei and arai and hjc. i also hate barbed wire that mainly make up most hjc ids as well. in the end i think my helmet looks badass, reason why i bought it. hundreds of people think my helmet looks like ass, but its mine so i dont give a fuck. in the end go with what you like, and who gives a fuck what others think.
