I went out for a ride the day after an Iron Man marathon followed by The Avengers, and this is what I came up with:
When I have won the lottery:
1.) Get Blutooth Helmet
2.) Get Android/iPhone with personal assistant
3.) Change personal assistant to male voice with British accent.
4.) Name personal assistant 'Jarvis.'
I have now become Iron (Wo)Man.

I saw The Avengers and left with the idea of getting a Vespa small frame and painting it red and gold.
And I thought it was a pretty darn good movie.

I don't think it's DOT approved but it still looks rad.

I saw a lot of those costumes at the Motor City Comic Con on Saturday. The people watching was worth the price of admission!

Iron Man rocks!. My buddies and I used to play the pen n' paper Marvel RPG. My character was a power suit guy modeled after IM (but blue, with a badass set of subwoofers
).
But as much as I love Iron Man, I really think Hulk stole the show. I mean, seriously, the 15 seconds he spent with Loki was the best part!
And yes, I wore an Iron Man / AC~DC shirt to the Avengers movie.

This company offers full suits modeled after super hero costumes. They used to have an iron man suit from the second movie but I don't think it is available any more. Maybe they'll do a new one for the third movie. But anyhow they have batman, star wars, captain America, and my favorite Tron.

It would be AWESOME if UD Replica would make a full leather bodysuit with exo-armor in the Iron Man motif to match that helmet.

So scooterists don't want gear that makes them look like Power Rangers but do want gear that makes them look like they're Iron Man? Nuts!

I wouldn't buy one. But if I saw a sport biker dressed up just like Iron Man I'd give him fist pumps as he went by! To me it would look best with a sport bike. Harley or scooter? Nope. No fist pumps. Just wierd looks. OK - Iron Man on a scooter would be pretty funny I have to admit.

One is best known as an entertaining series of films starring Robert Downey Jr, the other is a god-awful series of TV shows that are unfit for anyone over the age of 5. The former is considerably more bad-ass and socially appropriate for a grown-up.

Not ONCE did I say that I didn't want to look like a Power Ranger. I think that it is considerably cooler to look like a Power Ranger than dressing like Iron Man. I think you're nuts if you DON'T want to look like a Power Ranger.
Unfortunately, my 3/4 helmet and shades make me look like something somewhere inbetween a 70's Chippie and The Great Gazoo.

Man, I've been watching too much Muppets. I read that as The Great Gonzo.

Amen to that. Beyond awful.

I don't know what you're talking about. Go Go Power Rangers! Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers!
Really, it's more about the nostalgia factor for me. (Not mine, btw.)

I like the look of Vemar Ckqi. I just hope it fits. It has unusual internal shape. I may have to customize the padding. The stormtrooper look in pink - how much more "galaxy far far away" look can there be?

I tried to try one of these on, but it wouldn't go on my head. Also, would have made me look like a gigantic bug.

That's all right, I've been told my helmet makes me look like a spaceball.
Note: My helmet is silver, not white.

I figured since few say Ckqi fits them and I have trouble with helmets that fit everyone else than likely Ckqi would fit me. It does. I read in helmet review that many guys found chin bar to be too close to the chin. I figured being a female my face is shaped differently and I would not have the same problem. I do not. So it makes me wonder....
