Living Legend
Just reminiscing a bit and laughing how we used to dress up our helmets when we were younger....
When we were puppies, we could only buy white helmets....open face was the favored choice. I was riding a Kawasaki when i bought this new helmet. My cobbers and i had a brainwave that we could paint it black so off we go and buy a can of gloss black spray paint...a visit to the fabric shop secured some lace about 3 inches wide. We taped a piece of lace across the lid from the front to the back with masking tape..put the helmet on the handle end of a broom and leaned it against a chair and sprayed it black...nice even sprays. Then we removed the lace and hey presto we had a superb looking black helmet with a white lace pattern over the top!
One of the boys was handy at sign writing and wrote 'KAWASAKI' in white on the helmet over the top of my eyes and also around the back....I thought i was proper cool!
