Default Old School Helmet & Goggle

Hi all,

Just traded my Sporty with a Night Train. Currently i ride with full face HD helmet.
Because of the new bike and the summer i decided to get new helmet and it should be an old school look.

currently considering the AFX FX-3, can be seen here:

Whatever works for you. What the rest of us think is inconsequential.

not sure on the helmet cause we don't have to wear them in ohio. But i did just buy a pair of the bobster goggles this year that have the 3 sets of len's with them amber, clear and dark. They pop in and out. Love them i don't use them during the day unless its really cold but i use them everynight on the way home from work at midnight with the clear and they work great keep the bugs out and the air out. I got shades with foam fit for during the day. Unless its early sprind or late fall then i use goggles to keep the cold out.

Do yourself a favor and get an ACC carbon fiber helmet. They are not cheap, but well worth the dough in my book. Discount for forum members too.

You're gonna look really cool in that gear, what color helmet will you get? The white looks really neat.
