Yep, they'll eventually be giving them away is my guess. Without the face, it would have been a cool helmet.

Even CycleGear cannot give them away. Same price as the one on Ebay.

I know a guy who does excellent custom helmet painting, and I bet he could fix the face issue with no problem.

At $500 for an Aria, don't care what the graphic is, I'm tempted. Might have to stop by a cycle gear and try one on.

Yep, and it's the top-of-the-line Corsair V. I have an older one, another just-dented one, and of course have a new version only one ride old. For my noggin', there is nothing more comfortable. It falls into the "you get what you pay for" category for me.

Actually, I was thinking about how the decal guy in the club might be able to make a really cool set of graphics to cover up the face and create a unique helmet without the expense of painting. But dammit, I can't remember his name.

Then again, maybe it's time for a "club buy", and we all sport the same lid, with the same Sena's, and once you all come over from the darkside to Triumph...the same bikes.

Throw in a random killing or 10 along the ride and you've got a bad 80's horror movie.

Okay, I sense a FWMR prank video shoot. I think it'd be hilarious. So many go-pro's, all these computer geeks with the knowledge and ability to edit videos (whether or not your SW is legit doesn't matter, just shaddup about that stuff ;) ), this group's very unique sense of style and humor... :D :D :D :D

I had an earring I tried getting on there but the stupid layer of the earring image was out in la la land and I couldn't get it to stick to the ear so I said eff it. I was going to draw one but it looked dumb. I don't have PS skills. Could be a work in progress ;)

Hey now!! I'm pretty sure I've gotten all the ants out by now, although it wouldn't surprise me to find a few still hanging out in it. I actually DO need a new helmet and that's a great deal, although that's still a lot to pay for such an ugly helmet, even after BeautifulDisasters redesign.

I'll bet Darcshadow can help purty it up with a few well placed decals. You could cover it up with a Kawasaki or Ninja decal for example, though I'm not sure that will be much of an improvement.

It is possible to wrap a helmet, but watching videos online, looks like it is an awful lot of work.
