Those are not my teeth. Mine are not as white and less pointy. Also not shown is the tinted slip-down inner visor.<\/p><\/div>\n

I had always wanted something with one of them shark mouths painted on it.<\/p>\n

You know, like the ones that used to be painted on World War Two fighters.<\/p>\n

So when I saw that Shark helmets had caused such a thing to occur on one of their lids, I immediately advised Dave Maddock at Ficeda (the importers of Shark helmets) of my excitement.<\/p>\n

“Would you like one?” Dave asked.<\/p>\n

And with a flick of the fingers, down slips the inner visor and you may stealthily examine pretty girls in shorts skirts on the footpaths to your heart’s content<\/p><\/div>\n

If this appears in your car’s rear-vision mirror, it is too late to plead for mercy.<\/p><\/div>\n

“I would, Dave,” I replied. “I would. I am soon to risk my life upon some kid’s insane ASBK Superbike at Sydney Motorsport Park and I would fain wear one of these beaut helmets for they would give me strength and make me brave. Like a shark.”<\/p>\n

In due course the S7000S arrived, was placed upon my head and the ASBK Superbike dealt with.<\/p>\n

I have to confess that I have always been a fan of Shark lids. One of them saved my life when I slammed my head into Turn 11 during my stellar, but brief, racing career. Sadly, it was a Troy Corser replica, painted like a child’s nightmare and thus one of the most ill-conceived helmets from a graphic-design point-of-view ever. But it sure as Hell worked.<\/p>\n

But the Legion…well, let me just say that it is helmet porn.<\/p>\n

I have lost count of the number of times I have been complimented on the lid, and how many hot women have sought to make sexual congress with me upon beholding it.<\/p>\n

That aside, there is some cleverness in its features.<\/p>\n

\"helmets

Betty’s got it going on.<\/p><\/div>\n

It has a slip-down internal visor – activated by a lever on the side of the lid, that acts like a pair of sunnies. This obviates the need for you to wear sunnies, or to carry a spare visor like one of them OCD weirdos I run across from time to time who insist on pulling up and spending half-an-hour dicking around on the side of the road replacing their tinted visor for a clear one because they are too ill-skilled or fearful to ride home in the dark with a tinted visor.<\/p>\n

But let us cast aside the inadequacies of lesser men. They are of no moment in this discussion.<\/p>\n

What we have here is a beaut lid boasting a 2.2mm anti-scratch visor, which is Pin-Lock antifog ready, is well ventilated, and has a plush, machine-washable lining.<\/p>\n

\"helmets

You may, of course, add to these bombing missions.<\/p><\/div>\n

You will have to decide if its comfortable for you and how it behaves on your bike, but it didn’t lift at speed around Sydney Motorsport Park for me. I found it relatively quiet and it certainly offered me no buffeting. It’s also quite light, constructed as it is from thermoplastic resin.<\/p>\n

But whatever you decide, if you buy one of these, you will sleep easily knowing you look like a panty-moistening god.<\/p>\n

PRICE: $299.95<\/h3>\n

Available from various bike shops, but you can always contact Ficeda<\/a> and find out where your nearest stockist is.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
