KANGOL DAYS

Back in the 70's I used to wear a Kangol helmet and I thought it was pretty cool at the time. In the photo on the right, you can see me with my cousin enjoying a tasty beverage and a Park Drive fag. Next to me is my red, white and blue Kangol. The photo was taken in 1976 on the Isle of Man during the TT Race Week. I was riding a CB250.

So, 34 years later, I figure it would be cool to have a Kangol to go with my CB450. I saved a search for one on Ebay and let the clock tick by. Sure enough, 8 weeks later, one came along. You gotta love Ebay!

It's very uncomfortable and that visor makes you glad we have modern visors for sure! Fun though, LOL. I cleaned it up tonight with some visor restorer (for what it was worth).
