I purchased a new helmet this season, a Bell Revolver, which now has been replace by the Bell Revolver EVO helmet. The EVO worked out what the manufacturers considered the bugs in the first rendition of the Revolver, however must say, other than the fact it’s noisy, I have no complaints. I always wear ear protection, so the noise for me is truly a moot point. I have used it on one long distance trip of nearly 3000 miles and have really enjoyed the fit and features, however it’s white “see me” color rings a bit boring. Though I’m not usually inclined to wear gear that screams I am female, I just couldn’t help but farkle up my new helmet in fine girly fashion.

My rider pal Pam, sent me not only an angel bell for my new Versys, but several reflective stickers to place wherever I desired them. I couldn’t wait to get them on my helmet! I had also purchased a grinning cat decal that was green to match my bike with full intention of placing it on the back of my helmet for trailing riders to grin at in return. Well, this was the day, so lets give this helmet some gender!!

Before…how dull! 😉

The first decals placed and they immediately made me smile!

Next for the front…

Now, so you can see the reflective quality, I took the helmet into the darkest room so that the flash would be forced. The image provides an equivalent to how it would look at night.

Needless to say, I am thrilled with the end result and if I wasn’t it would be an easy fix to remove them! It’s bright and reflective and offers full face protection. I believe that anything we can do to protect ourselves and to be better seen on the roadway, is a asset!

Many of the motorcycle forums including the two where I tend to post, Pashnit and Two Wheel Females have wonderful reflective stickers that members are able to purchase. They too, look awesome on a helmet. Looks like a good time to join a forum!

Ride Safely, my moto pals!!
