[nsr] A Helmet You Have to See to Believe

It's a full-face helmet that looks like a three-quarter thanks to a clear front. Unbelieveable! I love it when somebody comes up with a category-busting idea like that.

I could be wrong, but that looks painted to me.

If it is painted, I want one with my tongue sticking out.

Hahaha! I'm an idiot! Thanks for straightening me out. You have to admit, it's an interesting idea. I prolly need to get some stronger reading glasses, eh?

Now that I think about, though, my idea is kind of interesting...

That's Nicky Hayden, 2006 MotoGP Champion, and it's a special "one off" helmet that he wore for the USA, Laguna Seca Round of the GP, where he finished 6th. And it's painted......................

Good thing that helmet was for real because this was no joke.

It's funny that his expression hasn't changed. You'd think his mouth would be wide open, like Butch and Sundance!

Reporter: "Nicky, what went through your mind in that last turn?"

Nicky: "The soft barrier, you idiot!"
