Phil Read Helmet scored!

Okay, this is the helmet I wanted since I started looking for the Ducati to buy. I love checkerboard because of my punk rock roots and and I like 70's racers because I rode my first motorcycle in the 70's (In fact a Honda 70). The helmet is a Phil Read replica. Phil was a Yamaha and MV Agusta rider in the 70's. He was the last guy to win on 4 stroke bike (1974) until the advent of MotoGP in 2002! I am afraid this will have to complete my helmet collection as the coffers are low and I need real bike parts like tires! Don't ask me why, but for some reason I wanted Phil Read's helmet and Giacomo Agostini's helmet. Probably inspired by a picture I saw of the 2 of them battling it out on MV Agustas. Now I have both helmets. This now ends my helmet collecting - we now resume the regularly scheduled broadcast...




Ska anyone? My new cool Phil Read helmet...





My helmet collection inspiration. Read chasing Agostini.
