White Bell Moto 4 my dad purchased from a buddy on a camping trip. Figured I should stop racing through the campsite helmetless on my Honda 50.

I don't remember. But the earliest one I personally remember was a Suomy from 2001 or 2002. Can't find it when I google it though

Yellow Bell Moto 3 like this...
to go along with my first bike...1980 RM 80

My best buddy(Joker, here on Vital) swears to this day he yanked a 5th gear wheelie on my RM. Ha. Good times back then.

It wasn't chopped it just didn't fit. I couldn't afford a new one or even goggles or a front brake lever.

I can't decide what's cooler. The duck bill visor, no front brake, or the Mid Valley CZ sweatshirt. The 70s was a great time.

This one.... 1971 Bell Star. I took the flip visor off mine and put a duck bill on it. And painted BULTACO on the chin bar.

Not sure what I started with, but duck bill visor was what I snapped on and then I went hi-tech and snapped on a facial. About the same time I enjoyed some major suspension advancement Lol.

Same here, wanted the Easy Rider version but they didn't have one in stock. Tough choice between the Gold metal-flake or the Blue one I chose. I was super-pumped.

My first high ender was a Marushin I picked up from my buddy through Sierra MC products. I wonder if they still build them, it was a nice lid.
