AGV Limited Edition Rossi GP-Tech Dreamtime Helmet
OK. after the success of my recent entry about Motorcycle Helmets (Nolan N102 flip-up Modular helmet), I've realized there's a lot of folks out there looking for crash lids, for themselves for motorcycle related stocking stuffers, or at least looking to look at crash lids online. So I went "window shopping" and the nicest one I could find, well today, at least, and, yes, again, Daddy wants this for Christmas, was the AGV Limited Edition Rossi GP-Tech Dreamtime Replica Helmet. This is a replica of the Helmet Valentino Rossi wore at the Sky Australian MotoGP 2007 at Phillip Island Circuit (see my travel guide to the fantastic historic place and its wonderful museum, if you're headed there in October... see you there.). Oh, yeah, the helmet... it boast the usual Rossi Day-glo yellow, his famous racing number 46 on the chin, but with the trademark Rossi sun and moon design reinterpreted via Australian Aboriginal inspired Dreamtime graphics. The Multiple MotoGP World Champion (at every level of Grand Prix racing) is well known for mixing it up with his gear and his bike designs (I loved his Austin Powers livery). This limited edition replica racing helmet (only 300 exist, as I read it, and accurate in every detail - technical and graphical) is on my list of motorcycle stuff I want.
Here are some of the specs for the AGV Limited Edition Rossi GP-Tech Dreamtime Helmet:
- Super-light carbon-kevlar construction shell
- Cool max interior fabric
- Fully removable and washable interior padding and neckroll
- Clear, flat, anti-scratch and anti-fog polycarbonate Race X visor with tear-off system
- Extra quick release visor system, which doesn't require tools
Double D ring chin strap - Integrated ventilation system with channels directly in the helmet shell
- Valentino Rossi Dreamtime design -Limited to 300 pieces in the UK
I found it at the Moto Legends section of the Grand Prix Legends Store (a UK motorcycle & racing merchandise company - so check the shipping if you're in the US like * my wonderful kids * are, hint, hint) ... Here's the direct product link. Rossi Replica Helmet Grand Prix Legends
The helmet retails at £429.99 British Pounds, which converts to about $850 USD. Convert to other currencies here. Which might seem a lot to pay, unless you really want to impress your dad with how good he was all year. :)
You can check out all Grand Prix Legends MotoGP Racing gear, that includes Merchandise, hats, shirts, racing apparel, helmets, well, the whole shebang, at the Grand Prix Legends Moto Legends site.
Godspeed on all your motorcycle adventures, Cvetko Ostroznik
