I meant older bikes, not people. ;) I'm looking for one of those 60's - 70's motorcycle helmets with the glitter / metalflake look. I strongly prefer one I saw a year or more ago (when I wasn't looking) that was silver and blue with stars and lightening bolts. My bike is silver with blue flames so I am wanting to stick to those colors. The bike has a sorta vintage look to it, and I actually want one of those helmets everyone used to throw away after it sat still in 20 yard sales.
Dig the attics, it has to be out there somewhere ! :ty
** Not in a big rush, hoping to start working on the project bike again soon! **

I'll check around with my friends. Tell them to keep an eye out for you.
You should keep an eye on Ebay too. Good Luck.

Not much luck on ebay, that's where I saw the one but the vintage helmets are outrageous on there! There's just too many in flea markets and attics..... dad threw away some about 15 yrs ago when moving. One was the Captain America (Easy Rider) helmet...... what I wouldn't give to get that one back ! It was perfect.
