Vintage glitter metal flake motorcycle helmet

A bit of a long awkward title, but I’m not exactly sure what they’re called.
You know the style, funky and oh so hip looking.



There are a few on yahoo auctions, ranging from 2000-10000nt.
Anyone seen them in any shops?
I want one.

I’ve seen a few in a “hip” shop in Gongguan. About NT$2000 or so. They’re utterly shite. The cheapest of cheapo helmets with about 1 millimetre of padding. They look cool but you can wear it for about 2 minutes before it starts to hurt. And this advice comes from someone who REALLY REALLY wanted to like them.

goes well with glitter kilts, i hear.

A pity you can’t even find that kind of glitter in a rattle-can to do it yourself.

Also goes well with the actual bike sometimes.

Buy a good helmet, go to a stationary store, buy glue and glitter.

and you can make a glitter hedgehog while you’re there. Trevor, come back, all is forgiven.

If I found Trevor, I’d feed him to one of my snakes.
Erm, I mean, return him promptly.

I’ll check out the place sandman is talking about.
I don’t care so much about the quality as long as it just oozes coolness.

Glitter helmets emit something, and coolness isn’t one of them… :rainbow:

is it for your sensational human cannonball act?

No, the disco roller derby.

Sandy, I went to the area you told me about today, and found a tea/coffee shop, that was kind of motorcycle themed.
At the back of the shop were a few glitter helmets on display.
I snapped a shot of the wall.
They were only selling the silver glitter helmet, it was 3980nt.

Is this the same place you were talking about, or is there another one?

No, the place I saw some was on the right-hand-side of the lane as you face Dingzhou Rd, closer to Dingzhou than to Roosevelt. They sell “cool kid” jeans, tshirts, funky jewellery, all like that. Has a kind of small wooden deck out front, I seem to recall.

Sandman, I tried finding that place, but still couldn’t.
I wonder if it’s still there?

I found a helmet shop on the corner of Roosevelt/XingLong that has several glitter helmets for sale, at the outrageous price of 6000nt each.

Right. I pass there every day. Boss rides a nice Bonneville. NT$6k’s a lot, but it really depends on the brand.
