Jon Bon Jovi, your helmet is ready
For the butthead in your life, Nexx X60 has this open-face helmet available for purchase that only an aging rockstar from the '80s could love. The denim version, complete with button and stud accents, is one of several helmet designs, though it's the only one sporting the "ass in tight jeans" look.
The other helmets include bold solids, camouflage, racing stripes and chrome. Many are outfitted with detachable visors, and retail for $200 USD. An added bonus includes anti-sweat fabric inners, which can be removed and washed, as can the chin strap. We wish you could say the same about leather chaps.

The perfect ass helmet for ass riders riding ass 'hogs'. Might as well have a giant fake phallus hanging out of zipper fly on the top of the helmet.

Wow, brings a new meaning to the term "Ass-Hat."

Totally silly, but if it gets some knuckleheads to put on a helmet rather than offering their brains up to the pavment god, I'm all for it.
Although, there is the Darwin thing . . .

I don't want to see the David Lee Roth version.

I thought that the surface of a helmet is ideally smooth so that in the event the wearer's head is sliding along the pavement the helmet doesn't snag on something and cause a neck injury.

I really wanted to chime in with something humorous, but I definitely can't top #3's "front phallus" comment.. lol

That is truly awful. You couldn't pay me $200 to wear it - much less the other way around.

I kind of like it. . .I think it is neat! It isn't any different than riding helmets for equestrians, which have covers of a variety of colors and designs, just for fun and to keep your black velvet riding helmet clean between shows.

I'd love to see a guy in leather chaps and boots. nothing else. no pants under the chaps. Maybe wearing one of these "ass helmets" too on.... a bike. Whew ! !

If you got the money honey, I got the time...

Now that i think of it. on a more serious note. if the designers had made a crevice indicating the separation between the buttocks it would have made this "Ass helmet" more aerodynamic. Can't you see it now?
mmmm-mmmm !

Sorry to tell you sweety, but 45 IS aging. HOWEVER, Jon is aging quite well, thank you very much. He can come sing to me any time.

What about harley jean denim in black with studs and maybe some acid washed for the true 80's look. I don't get it and I don't like it, but I never liked that purple dinosaur either and look how well he did.
