Being kind of old school, :hys:, i still think one crash one helmet! At about 150$ big deal. A paint job will cost you that much.

Not on a flat black helmet...................that is a tree-hanger paint job in my back yard.............actually, my buddy Kelly, who runs "Kelley's Bars and Grills" for aftermarket truck and car stuff, he can spray my helmet with the bed-liner protectant they use for truck beds.  That would be an awesome look, IMO.  Think I will do that anyways, now that the thought has surfaced in my brain.   :tu: :bike:

Just called Kelly and he said they do a lot of bike helmets.................now I just gotta figure out how to remove the face shield.

Had not thought of that...............Then again, it just might stabilize my head cuz the wind won't know where to go.  So it will just go on by.

Go with the golf ball dimple effect. You'll pick up speed and distance, as long as you don't hook or slice.

Yeah, many options, but the thing has to fit your head in the end. Do you have a pinhead, or does your head have it's own weather system?
Administrators are not supposed to have a sense of humor, but thats not bad  :lol:
