I have a vintage Bell Biker that I still wear some times, generally when it's 20 degrees below freezing and I'm wearing several layers of hat - the foam pads have long ago packed it in. I guess you could say it has more scope for imagination.
I also have a vintage Bell V1-Pro that I keep around for a different reason. I don't say anything, but point to the gouges right over where my ear was when it slid along the ground one Sunday in September of 1989 or 1990. Somehow the thought of a missing or hamburgered ear bothers them more than something more severe. Maybe it's easier to grasp. Dunno.

Anyway, I liked the Biker a lot better than the disposable hat I wear now, but things move along, don't they.
