Default Mohawk Helmets??????

Where I work, I see ALOT of riders sporting the "Mohawk" helmets. I'm just wondering if anyone here actually has one. And for what reason. I get a kick out of it everytime I see one.

I have no idea why people rock them, its kind of like putting altezza's on your moms windstar, to me being a frequent rider/motorcycle mechanic.

LOL! Yeah, the broom end one's. So far, I've counted around 15 riders within a 1x1 sq. mile radious.

Namely that, yes.

When on the strip in the middle of the summer and everybody asks me why i'm riding with a helmet on and i point to the mohawk and then to the bitches, they understand the idea.

Originally it came with suction cups...it wouldn't go anywhere but sometimes the back cup would come off and it would flap...and it stuck up and looked more dumber than what it does, lol...i cut the suction cups off and gorilla glued it to the helmet...a lot sweeter lol.
