HELMETS (anything relating to)

[wot2t]

i like biltwell. i got 2 gringos. i feel like biltwells run a little big. gringos at least. i have an xl icon that's tiiiight, but my xl gringos are loose and require a helmet sizer (bandanna/skully) for high speed non-parachute noose action.

helmets are good. i wear them. i got knocked out in a skid lid, but i would have been dead, or worse without it. i like my gringos. i got a chinese bell moto 3 knockoff. the snaps are too high, but it's ok.

you guys like 3 snap visors? i fuckin' love 'em.

I have a gringo and love it too. I normally wear a small but mine is a med. I don't wanna get the wrong size right off the bat. Especially since no shop seem to stock small or medium Bonanza. So, ya see my dilemma?

yeah that's a bummer. i did get to try on a few gringos b4 i bought mine. maybe send biltwell an email and wrap a tape measure around your head?

My Bonanza runs a little big compared to my Licks and Daytonas.

Biltwell Gringo Tracker

I recently bought an open face Urban Helmet https://urbanhelmetsusa.com/collecti...n-face-helmets and love it.

Way more comfortable than my Biltwell Bonanza (whose flat black finish turned sticky after a year).

i have been using this Israeli Kevlar lid since 1990,... best helmet I have owned.
here I am getting to & drag racing at the H.A.'s Bulldog Bash in 98,....

Random question about the new Biltwell Bonanzas. Do they run on the small side? My hat size is right on the line of the small and med.

I had an HJC fullface size medium so I order a medium Biltwell Gringo hazard orange on clearance and it was too big so I had to return for a small Biltwell Gringo Tracker red white and blue that fits perfect

I'm currently reading this review and thinking to get one of Nitrinos full-face helmet. I ride a bike for 6 months and my first helmet proved itself to be a cheapo made of thin plastick. How do you think will Nitrinos be okay for a beginner like me? Or should I look for Shoei or something else? I think buying Bonanza is too early for me.

Here is my Bell Powersports Moto-9 Carbon Flex Solid Motocross Helmets which I bought at $629.95 from Mx Megastore Motocross Helmets

Not sure WHAT model Bell, But its vintage for sure. Its got a sticker inside that says made in 1970. There is a Bell sticker inside as well and Snell and some numbers, if that helps let me know.
Heres what I DO know, was worn 2, maybe 3 times. A friend bought it under duress back in 1972 and I have the original receipt here from a local cycle shop in Oregon. He had bought a BSA and they wouldnt let him ride it out of there unless he had a helmet. So, he bought this one, rode the bike a few times, didnt like it, and parked it. This has been on the shelf ever since.

It has some scratches and some marks on it, many of which would likely polish out easily and are just surface marks on the white finish, although some are light scratches you can catch with a finger nail. I had been debating painting it, (British flag or American flag?) But they are only original once. The strap is in good shape, the liner is soft foam rubber and where the top of your head is, turned to powder. So, there is several guys who reline helmets, some real artists.

However, do what you want, But I think this is more a display or novelty helmet due to age, so I make ZERO promises for safety.

I need cash for some projects, I might be flexible down the road, but based on eBay sales, just throwing this out there.,
$250 cash, delivered anywhere in the US. Shipped for cost overseas. Paypal or cash in Person. Shipped from Portland Oregon Area,, zip 97045.

*Edit, The $250 price includes ONE of the visor-face masks, ONE of them, pick one. They are not perfect, PM me for details, close ups and more info,, but these goofy crazy funky old visors sure are crazy!
