Bell Bullit - The one we were all waiting for...

I can't belive it... ^_^
The helmet we were all waiting for will be available arround March 2014.

We all discovered this awesome Bullit Helmet Concept designed by Chad Hodge on the great Bubble Visor

Now Bell decided to make this helmet. It seems that It will be around $399.95 and at the moment only DOT Certification is announced, but I hope they will also do the ECE Certification...

UPDATE: Bell has confirmed that the Bullit will also get the ECE 2205 Certification... ^_^ It's time to start saving...

These are the pictures I could find about the Bell Bullit...

Vintage full face helmets 2…

Last year I posted here some pictures of vintage full face helmets that were available then.
As some more are available now, I will add them too.

I know some of you have probably already heard about them, see them or own one, but I just want to up date the list.

For sure there is more that I don't know about, so if you know some more, don't hesitate to give me some information about them. Thanks.

Premier Trophy (???):
I didn't find any information about this helmet on the official Premier website. I only found information and pictures on the famous 4h10 website. The pictures are also from there.

Vintage full face helmets…

At this time if we want to have a new helmet with a vintage style, the only legal solution in Europe is to get an open face. What about the full face helmets? Why nobody makes an authorized full face vintage helmet? Is it hard or impossible to make a legal one???

During my long Internet researches, I found a lot of comments from people that are also dreaming to get a full face vintage helmet. I am not alone…

Actually, I found some during my trips to Japan, but they are not authorized in Europe and often they make only one size and they are too small for my big head. ^_^

There is also one model made in Germany and now also one in US (in collaboration with a Japanese company if I am not wrong) but still they are not authorized in Europe. Another solution is to find a real old helmet, but in my opinion they should be used as decoration or collection, rather than use as helmets...

Here is some pictures of the models I found. If you find others or if you know one that is authorized, please let me know… ^_^
