Air Wolf

Post by cfrobw »

Okay, this would be a cool piece of gear. I don't know that it's DOT approved.

Do you remember the tv series AirWolf with the high tech helicopter?
The pilots and passengers had these cool helmets with a visor that dropped down at the push of a button, and they had a targeting system in them for when they aimed the helicopters weapons.

We'll this guy actually makes these helmets.

The only drawback is they are only $1000 each

But it would be cool to have!

She was probably stricter than the US DOT on certifications.

... and in Thailand it can look a bit OTT because they don't seem to care much about DOT ... pretty much any piece of plastic on your head will suffice.

I like the electronic flip down visor....or is it just spring loaded and you have to wrestle it back up? Not sure what I would do with a targeting system built into the helmet. For that much money is should do something useful.

Target cute girls on other scooters? Lol

The visor is electric open and close

it would be even cooler if the targeting system we're turn by turn gps maps on screen and voice navigation via bluetooth from an iphone and a2dp and voice communications from driver to pillion and other bikers.

Of course they would want $5000 for it then lol

The motorcycle helmet laws were repealed in Louisiana till about 10 years ago. You could have worn a beanie if you wanted to, you just put your own scull at risk of having your brain crushed.

Oh neat they're selling the unit as a kit in parts for you to build it yourself on auction on eBay.

Surprised that you don't know where Kenner is. I lived in New Orleans for a few years, and Kenner was well known.
