Diesel has designed a new helmet in cooperation with AGV. It would look pretty sleek along with a Buel or Triumph Speed Triple. But I think they intend to market it towards the scooter crowd.

I shot these photos at Græsted Veterantræf 2009. Some of these vintage motorcycles is restored to a rare perfection that they are probably better taken care of than when they left the factory floor.
