I think it'll be obvious if it's too retro or not sitting on a sleek new machine. |

| Re: Cool, or a little too retro? Nice looking helmet, I looked at one before going with a Corsair. The overall level of white may also help keep helmet temperatures lower in the TX sun.

| Re: Cool, or a little too retro? I got to try my new Shakey yesterday. Best lid I've owned... not as quiet as my cheapo Shark but super comfy, no fogging and no buffeting. |
