Cool open-face helmets

Today something different. This being the coolest of Caribbean islands, we have our fair share of bikers. Not due to congestion or level of income, rather that it is just so cool!

See See motorcycles unveiled last year "21 Helmets", a collection of traditional open-face Bell helmets that were custom-designed by noted artist, including photographer Ray Gordon (of Trottled Fame).

Here follows a couple of the cool open-face helmets, literally and figuratively speaking:


So I expect some fashionable riders to follow this movement and personalize their helmets, just like the ones above. Now, if I could only motivate the youths to actually strap their helmets to their chins, would be even better.

A little bit about our riders. I would say that the scooter is widely used by the youths and "interns" from Holland, who wish to zap from beach to bar as quickly and cheaply as possible. Then we have the "ride whatever I can get my hands on" group which is the smallest. Finally, the "look at me" group is by far the largest and most diverse group, encompassing everything between Japanese fighters to Italian superbikes to American Muscle.
