Bell 500 Custom "Bonneville" Skratch inspired black open face.

Way back in the dark mists of my riding history, 1979, I had a Bell Helmet. It was my first helmet. It was yellow. Yellow makes you safer as it is easier to see. This is what my parents told me when I went to pick a helmet. HAHAHAHAHAHA.

See how awesome I looked back then on that power house of a 125.



Today I got my second Bell helmet. It ain't yellow. It's a very awesome 500 Custom "Bonneville" Skratch inspired black open face.





The lining is way better than more expensive helmets I have seen.

I have a weird shaped head and find that some helmets do not sit well on my melon. This one is so comfy.

Top marks Bell.

Front number plate and possibly bell bottom pants as well...

I have an identical yellow helmet in the shed from the same era - I'll check tomorrow what brand it is.

That new helmet is smart. Those gloves look like Dririder men's summer mess gloves?

My gloves are Rivett summer gloves.

Be thankful I did not start riding in 1970. I was made to wear pink flares that year.
