Eternal Saint helmet

[horsepwr]

I gave my Arai Quantum to the guy that bought my CBR because I had been wanting a new helmet and that way I'd have to get one when I got another bike.
skipping forward.. The salesman the other day at the bike shop had a black helmet with red flames hanging on the wall behind him. I said, 'that's a badass looking helmet.' He told me the story about how it matched his black w/red flames '03 limited R6, so his friend gave it to him. Shortly after that, some christian riding group raised enough hell about these helmets made by Icon, that Icon quit making them. When the guy handed the helmet to me after telling me that story, I saw why the cheezy controversy because the helmet was called the "sinner" and it has a little naked red-head on each side with horns on her head. I thought it was a pretty kickass helmet. He said "we got the saint model..." I didn't catch what he meant, but I told him that I need a helmet, so he said, 'come check this out.' As soon as he handed me the helmet, the "saint" part hit me. I thought it was pretty sweet, so I had to have it.

I've never had any Icon gear, but it seems to be a pretty decent helmet for the money. I know I've seen plenty of folks sporting Icon gear.

Not that I try to match my helmet to my bike, but the blue is pretty close. I don't dig all that color coordination. Just get a helmet that you like.

Aw man, that's bad ass! That'd make a pretty cool tat as well.

Re: Eternal Saint helmet

That's the first thing that came to mind I saw it too. And that's actually pretty close to what I'm thinking about getting for my next tatt, but the chik will have real skimpy see thru lingerie, sitting with her body facing you with one leg vertical (that foot would be flat on the floor) and the other leg laying open. She'll have wings, but no halo. She'll have little horns poking thru her hair. And it won't be in color. If any color at all, it'll be a readish shading throughout. If you read Playboy, there's always an all red pin-up girl drawing in each issue. That's where I got the idea.

and thanks

yeah, the sinner is badass. I'm lucky this one was still in there. Icon didn't even make 1000?, I think the guy said?, before they cut production, so basically they became a limited collector right quick.
