Vintage Bell helmet bag - ended, but how cool

[bishboy]

I put a couple of bids on this until it got a bit too much for me, but how cool would it have been to have

Wow, I'll have to shine up my Bell helmet bag (purchased circa 1972) and make my fortune. 

IIRC I paid something like $15 for mine.

cheers,

I got mine as some sort of freebie when I bought my first Magnum back in 1972 or so....I've still got it but the zipper's busted. I remember having the Bell t shirt and 'Stroker' hat and beanie too but I couldn't afford the 'too cool for school' red bell jacket.

I think I wore out my Bell stroker hat though I have a veglia recollection of seeing it crumpled and stained in a box in the garage 5-10 years ago. 

I also had one of Carl Shipman's stroker hats that he had made and sold through his "The Dirt Rider" mail-order business, along with the "Rap-on" fork covers and "The Boonie Book".  Carl was a fellow member in the New Mexico Trials Association and his son raced MX in our local Albuquerque club (IIRC he had one of those hopeless gray-tank 125 Montesas).

40 years ago seems so far away. 

cheers,
Michael
