    I hit my local dealer now and then to see whats new or order some parts. The manager is a nice guy and I've known him for years. Even though he's seen my bike a number of times, he still gets nostalgic when the the old girl pulls in. On this visit, after speaking for a few minutes, he says "Man, I've got something I think you should have" and disappeared out back. He returned with a fairly mint Freddie Spencer Arai and hands it to me. "This helmet belongs with that bike." They had it on display then it got stashed away. I was dumb founded. I haven't bought a new bike from him in 27 years. I thanked him and shook his hand, then headed home and took these pics. Looks good next to the old girl. I'd never wear it but it will look good in the garage! This thing has got to be 25 years old.

    That's a great jester by him. It fits your bike perfect. Maybe wear it to special bike shows if you take the old iron. That WOULD be COOL!
