Capo's Monster

Mr Gazza · 10-06-2021, 08:47 PM

My humble homage to Capo and his fantastic bike.
It doesn't do his bike justice, as it's such an amateurish job which I rushed from start to finish and made it up as I went along.
I quite like it though and regard it as a practice for a proper job on the next helmet. I learned a lot!

For a rush job it is amazing, a tribute to a great bike and a person who was source of so much information about doing things the right way, most of the work I have done to my s4r was inspired by Capo.

What a great design, Mr G!

You've got all the Capo elements in there. The perfect accessory to the Capo bike.

Mr G, what can I say, what a fantastic job, I look forward to inspecting your hard work later in the month ( I chose my words very carefully there!!)

Looks great and a really nice tribute to the great man.

In 1979 I bought my new Suzuki x5 gt200 along with what at the time was a very heavy and expensive King Barry Sheene replica crash helmet. Leather lined too.

Thanks for all the kind words gents.
No need to be careful with words any more Mike. Mr and Mrs Dacs came over this afternoon specifically to see my helmet.. Which of course I got out and showed them.

Lovin' the young Albie Sheene ready for action with Team Suzuki..
