ive been looking for another single strap "novelty" helmet and cant find one. everyone has those double strap helmets now. ive been to 50 motorcycle stores and even googled it. I know I got mine years ago at a bike show from one of those tent vendors at the old marcus dairy super sunday.






Not the "V" strap...

They've got 'em a plenty in Japan. I've got one myself (which I like for going short distances) and they've got a quite a few styles available. They're pretty cheap, too. PM me if you'd like my help choosing, purchasing and getting one of these to you. Glad to do it for my friends on the forum...

While I'm personally not looking for one, I wanted to say that I think it is REALLY cool that you are not only willing to do this, but have put it out there and offered it up. I think that is SOLID!!!

If you need anything from State side, while your over there...PM me...if I can make it happen, I will.

I see them in Asia. TT & Company in Tokyo or Fatboy Designs in Bangkok. Haven't seen them on Amazon for a while. I will be in Bangkok later this summer if you want me to bring one back stateside.

I think big bro has been pushing manufacturers to stop making them here. Lots of articles on the googles about it.

My question is; why a single strap that puts a flag out for LE to cite you?

I live in a free state. Cop wants to jack with me about a beanie, his city gets to pay me. Too bad for you.

I live in an optional state also. Why would anyone wear a novelty beanie if they didn't have to wear a helmet at all?
