Wow - sounds like the best of both worlds... Generally speaking people here go to Florida in winter and stay home in warmer weather. I'm in Portland - let me know if you want to hook up for lunch or something while you're in state.

I am headed to Rochester NH early this Saturday morning (6-6)for a charity ride. The Madison Weeks run. Registration is 0900 at the American Legion Post 7 just outside of Rochester off Rt 202.

Hi carmine.  Can we safely assume you typed up that post after falling on your head wearing that novelty helmet?

My thoughts exactly good job Jerry that's too funny.

Mark, great invitation and talking points for a new member introduction! Well done, sir....
But I'm afraid Carmine probably doesn't remember much after he tested the novelty of his lid..
From the "sound" of it, he's likely staring at the microwave waiting for Wheel of Fortune to come on.

I usually welcome folks in this manner when their first post, and sometimes only post, can be seen as confusing, inflammatory, combative, or baiting. A while back we had an issue with trollers looking to entertain themselves. Most trollers won't share info like that. Folks with genuine interest don't mind. This is one reason I like post counts.

I'm not saying Carmine is anything but a CVO owner who doesn't post often, hopefully he will return and become one of us and post up often.

Umm, maybe its just because I speak fluent sarcasm, but I'm thinking Carmine might have made an intentional and excellent point about the effectiveness of Novelty helmets and life afterwards.

About 3yrs ago NC put fliers in motorcycle registration packs warning of a severe crackdown on novelty helmets. Everyone I know that wore them then, still do.......never a ticket to N E 1 I No

This is where meeting someone in real life helps with communication on the internet. I had no problem deciphering the text above in blue. As a matter of fact I just had to look at the text and hear him say that in his own voice! Hey Jimmy come on up and let's go riding. Or I'll have no choice but to get on the bike and show up on your front lawn again!

I love the 1960's and 70's style three quarter helmets. My favorite is my Daytona Cruiser with the Easy Rider graphic. It is my understanding that Fulmer made the original for the movie and still makes them today, but they don't do any internet sales. So does anyone live near a place that sells them? The Daytona is a nice small 3/4 helmet, no mushroom/Kazoo look at all, and they got the graphics right, but the stars and stripes are obviously stickers and only the blue is paint. Plus the strap was fraying after about two weeks. A shame, because it is such a comfortable helmet and it might be the only one that I've ever worn that looks half decent on my head, and it's cheap. If I can't get a Fulmer I might get two more Daytonas.

I live in Missouri and am req to wear a helmet. I wear a ( skid lid ) novelty helmet and have been down at 117 mph with it, yes I was lucky but I believe when your time is up God will punch your ticket and there is nothing you or any government can do about. I will continue to wear my skid lid just to pacify the law, otherwise I wouldn't wear anything at all.

That's what I wear, but without the visor. I think I got a better price somewhere. I'd still like to find a Fulmer, though, but I haven't found a dealer yet, and they don't do internet sales. Sometimes you see an individual selling a used one on ebay, but not often.

It's a bit of a ride for you Puma, but if you head out to Gettysburg Bike Week at all stop in New Oxford at Unique Cycles.  It's on Route 30 between York and Gettysburg.  They are a Fullmer dealer with in stock inventory.  They will ship as well, but its tough if you cant try it on for size.  A nice family run business too which is always a bonus.

Thanks J-Carr. I will give them a call.
