    Scorpion?

    The graphics on hats are hideous these days. I just bought a pair of hats and was lucky to find them in solid colors in Shoei. Arai, Shark, none of em had solid colors with a decent paint job. I gotta tell ya, dood, that's one whacky-ass lookin hat

    it looks older. its the Shoei TZ-1 Venom Helmet

    i was under the impression that a helmet shouldt be worn after 5 seasons or 2 consecutive years cuz the sweat that builds up weakens the shell

    dunno if its true but i dont like to take chances when it comes to my noggin

    What if it never left the warehouse?

    I would contemplate the idea of getting it if it was not to old of a helmet design and if I could purchase it new from a supplier.

    I guess I'll have to keep looking for a newer design.

    Supposed to be 7 years from manufacturing date, or 5 years if worn regularly. It's not the shell that breaks down its the foam in between that slows down your doam to protect the grey matter

    That helmet has to be late 90's. I almost bought that exact one.
