That helmet brings back a lot of memories. In the early ’70s when I was eight, my grandmother bought me my very own helmet for riding mini bikes. It was a Yamaha / Bell helmet from Action Yamaha in Metuchen, NJ. It had the exact same shape and visibility and the visor snapped on just like this one. It was too big for me when I was a kid but fit me like a glove when I was older. I used that helmet until I was 23 when I finally upgraded to a Bell Tourstar II.
While I don’t believe you meant you will keep that helmet forever…if you’ve had it for 7 years, it’s time to buy another one. Sunlight and the natural march of time mean that helmet may not in fact meet DOT and ECE standards if you get in accident now. Good luck, don’t die.
I have a Simpson helmet, same style. Love that we can openly admit,though, that the only real reason is it looks cool 😎 which you do brotha. Stay safe on the ride!
Looks great! I’d cut the full face bar off of it and use it in case I stepped on a Lego while getting water in the middle of the night. Please people, drink regularly.

It's a legit helmet honestly. I really enjoy it.
If it had a flip “shades” visor… I’d want it
I think there's another version called gringo s
That GT750 is clean! I need to finish rebuilding mine
If you’ve had it for 7 years sounds like it’s time to replace it
Yeah DOT is not the flex you think it is...😅
I tried a gringo S that was exactly my size according to their charts (60cm aka Large) and it was so absurdly tight I could barely get it on my head.
That Water Buffalo man, I love that Suzuki
clean video

Also the model from 7 years ago was not ece rated.
Hell, they’re $225 now 🥴
My only issue with the Gringo is it doesn't have the ventilation

Holly! Thats a water buffalo!
Plastic shell helmets are cheap for a reason. They melt almost instantly on a road slide. These helmets are the bottom of the safety scale.
I really like mine
That susuki tho 😮
Is this pinlock compatible?
They sell for $225.00 nowadays 😢
Good luck
Cheapest? In my country most people wear 10$ helmets. Even my helmet costs 65$
The side crew angle is so bad though! Really bad
Trying being a XXXL 🙃. Legitimately no good options.
Try castle X helmets they have one that goes up to like 5x
You’ve had yours for 7 years? You should be replacing your helmet every 5.
$175 cheap?! s2pid asf 😂

"Cheap helmet but looks cool".......errr no thanks
Is your helmet even ece rated tho
@@dylanb586this helmet is the same cost as my Exo r420 basically. It looks good and is DOT and ECE certified
Ah yes, the hipster special.
