Wow Soren! Thank you ever so much for bringing this to my attention! You see, that Ruby & Carl Lagerfeld helmet will go ever so peachy with my Paul Smart limited edition Triumph Bonneville here.... _______________________________________________________  _________________________________________________________ Now, granted, due to a present minor cash-flow problem, I may have to charge it to one of my credit cards, but I just HAVE to have this helmet!!! (yep, it's like I always say..."One should never let their lack of resources, NOR THEIR LACK OF TASTE, interfere with their purchasing decisions!")   
Yep! Just like a good Single Malt Scotch, you might call me "an acquired taste" TOO.(among the many OTHER things you may care to call me, of course)

So, I am guessing that nowadays the uglier you make something, the better you are as a designer or artist and the more you can charge for something so ugly, not even it's mother likes it?

Not even close Bell HP5 2450.oo Euro plus tax link Bell HP3 2450.00 Euro plus tax link These helmets meet the FIA8860 Advanced Helmet Standard. It's what you want to wear racing Formula One. Just the thing if a loose wheel with a piece of an A-arm attached hits you in the noggin.

You don't set the record until someone actually pays you for it.

$1800 for a helmet that blind men must rush up to and kiss?  Worth twice the money for that alone 
Too old to die young, too ugly to leave a good looking corpse
