You wouldn't wear what your helmet and gear from your Softail on the dirt bike or vice versa! It's a whole affair! He might need another couple in different colours / themes and styles to suit his different bikes :D I can only really see this one suiting 2 or 3, let's throw some "local" businesses some more business (and get some more content and presents for the Cog crew!) :D

Should've covered the real design with a static cling wrap of James May on one side and Jeremy Clarkson on the other just to see Richard react. That would've been fantastic

My problem with them is most dont come down far enough and make you look a berk. I usually go for a dark visor and carry the clear one on my waist.

Richard, Mike, and team - you guys are great with your content. Always enjoy what you produce. Thanks!

If he thought he was busy painting helmets before his in-box is about to light on fire! Super cool

I feel like the only thing missing from Drive tribe is having James,Richard and Jeremy all together in a cafe or at someones house or a bar just having some drinks and talking old stories of trips,challenges,guests etc or doing a once a month get together to talk about new cars, basically the news but more laid back

Been subscribed quite a while now... I lost my dad back in 2017 in a freak flying accident My dad and richard shared many similarities the thrill of motors/bikes/flying but we spent many many hours watching top gear and i grew up with a huge admiration for Richard hammond! Mike is the perfect person to carry the torch to the next generation and i can only thank Mike for keeping my the nostalgia of the top gear shows and also keeping this culture alive! Love the videos! Keep them coming

My highlight was seeing that CBX 1000 in Richards garage. What a stunning bike.

He seems like a very kind, nice person.

Fantastic photography and editing! Two guys talking about their shiny helmets! :)

So much pride in this man's eyes for his own work...Love it!!

This was a genuinely interesting video. I always thought that helmet designs were just decals and had no idea that a lot of it is hand painted.

I do like Richard's helmet design, I also like the built in sun visor that is a great feature.

These helmets are not just necessary gear but a piece of art.

Spray Painter Here. Im used to the Yamaha Blue i use it all the time its my favourite colour. It's called Deep Purplish Blue Metalic Candy 'DPBMC' is its colour code for anyone who needs to know. The genuine stuff is a 3pack but the way its been applied on this helmet wont ever have the true candy look to it in the sun like the Yam bikes have. The reason being is because the three stages of it need done within 10-20 minutes of the other and the clear coat needs put on within a half hour of that to achieve the proper candy look. If you let any stage dry too long or if you touch it before the clear coat is on it especially on the first colour coat stage (like they did in the vid) then subsequntly have to wash or sand it back again you lose its ability to hold the following metalic stage correctly. Doing "control coats" at low pressure at distance with the metalic stage of the paint can somewhat get it to lay decent but the 1 stage colour coat which looks like a completely matted blue does not want touched in any way and if you really must denib or remove dirt before the clear coat then do at the very minimum a light coat of the metalic stage before doing the fix then do your normal coat of the metalic stage as usual followed by ideally 20-30mins of dry up till its no longer wet looking, then fire the clear coat on. You get the proper full candy effect of the paint this way. Same with the red candy Yamaha and Kawasaki candy green. Cheers lads

Awesome headgear... I'm looking forward to a bike show and road trip... At this stage in my motorcycle life, I would probably go with the Seaton Clan Crest, proudly displayed on the back, and have the helmet painted in the Ancient Hunting Tartan...

Richard that 1100 M is beautiful, so so jealous. Had one brand new years back miss it so much.

I dunno why, but I could sit there and watch/listen to Richard babble on & on about things for hours. Richard buddy if your listening, hire a writer and have them follow you around for about a week and you tell them stories just so it could all go into a book that I would very happily read from cover to cover. Love hearing about his past and what he has plans for the future.

Now that “The Grand Tour” has officially been announced to not continue anymore. What about a DriveTribe special episodes with all the lads?

What a genuinely nice dude! This was a delightfull episode.

Hammond is the coolest OG automotive presenter. Seems like a genuinely good bloke as you guys say lol

I of course love the filmed content, but, generally, i'm here for the banter between... well... everyone! fabulous, and great helmets guys!

Love the helmets, favorite thing is a custom painted helmet that showcases the owner’s personality/history or passions.

The Smallest Cog helmet would of looked a lot better if it had a gloss finish IMO like the other helmet, cool design nonetheless

"...That i still havent driven!" 😅 tut tut Mike

1:30 some say, the stig is still standing there till this day...

Easily said, but this was a really great video, bit like kids in a sweet shop moment when they revealed their helmets.

This is quickly becomming one of my favourite youtube channels :)

Richard, you had your “new” tattoo at the start of the video 😂

Schuberths are known for being the quietest. Lately, they’ve done a great job with design IMO.

TR6R and a black CBX1000 in the back. Hammond sure does have impeccable taste in motorbikes.

Never thought I'd get a chance to see both Richard AND Mike's helmets! 🤣

Looking very forward to a bike portion of this channel.

Those helmets are extremely cool! Good job Mike

Richard, you gotta get two! One to wear and one to put on the shelf just to admire. Like an action figure you never take out the package. Also did yall get the tv show called "Air Wolf" (1984) in the UK? When the sun screen came down in your helmet I thought about that show!

I like how Richard's helmet turned out.

nice to see the local track

"I'm tryna decide if it's really cool, or the most Dads thing I've ever seen". Classic. 😄

This was so entertaining to watch, absolutely fascinating.

I'm afraid the Coulthard helmet is the more "dad" of the two.

The best helmet I ever had was a Shark one that not only had a pull down dark visor but a proper flip front that went all the way to the back of the helmet so you could use the helmet as full face or open face to suit the situation!

That paint work is awesome.

Job well done lads.

I got Street Hawk or Airwolf vibes then with that visor action.

A genuine gearhead, very clever my mate.

2:00 even his haircut is fast

whatever you think of the sun shade...it is functional, and on every metric level, better. Furthermore, it does in fact block sunbeams and by design makes things "cooler".😎

Once you go internal visor you never go back! Beautiful helmets too

I love that Richard wants to call it a "crash" helmet, and not just a helmet or motorbike helmet. Such faith in potential future outcomes.

ikr you get compasses with different point fittings so you can swap out for as sharp or blunt a pin as you like even different material pins some specifically for fiberglass and plastics. We use them all the time, the dude needs to get a decent compass set thats abysmal that.

I love how Hammond has a 1/18 Rimac C1 in his book shelf. I'm a little bit surprised his family let him keep it.

Beautiful helmets, very nice.

two and a half thousand miles. love it

The flip down visor is cool if one thinks comfort and convenience is cool. Very similar to slip on Sketcher shoes.

When did Hereford/Ross on Wye move south of the River Severn (map graphic at 18:22)?!!

What a pair of helmets!

What a start 👀

The timing was impeccable at the start

I wonder if Schuberth have fixed the naff Visor mech. Mine slams down when I don't want it to.

Two men talking about their helmets 😂😂😂 . Seriously love the designs .

Could of first provided to Hammond a boxed pink Helmet with something like "Small Cog" written on it. To remind him of the Vietnam trip :)

As a member of the Final Gear forums it hurt hear him say he never had a decorated crash helmet before, we put together a hamster helmet that he got from the people from that forum

Im a spray painter here in Scotland i do freehand and proper manual pin striping and the likes. Hes decent but these are stencil designs and kind of basic. If you want a true custom helmet paintjob you need to speak to the real freehand guys. Aldo Drudi is the best about at this level of custom paintjob. Not taking away from the guy but the lid while on its 1 stage of the Yamaha DPBMC the matted blue stage should not have been touched or interfered with in any way. Its critical the first stage of that colour gets layed then left untouched untill the 2nd stage metalic coat is on, followed by the clear. The metalics dont lay right if you sand back or even clean off that 1st stage colour coat or if someone touches it like in the vid. Its a true 3 pack candy you need to apply it correctly for it to have the correct candy look. Loses its depth and colour flip when you dont spray it on right and if you mess with the 1st or 2nd stage washing it or lightly scuffing it back you ruin the metalics in it and they dont sparkle correctly. Ive been doing it 3 decade for the record.

Uum I don't wanna break the 4th wall or anything haha.. But Hammond had the tattoo at the start when he asked Mike to get it organised.. Unless I'm missing something it would've been impossible for him to have gotten the helmet back before the Biarritz trip

Curious as to why he did a stencil for the cogs instead of doing a vinyl and then clear coating it? Too thick?

From what I’ve been told (in Australia). You can’t put stickers or stick on design on a helmet. The glue will eventually compromise the integrity of the safety shell of the helmet.

Tried most helmets and what Richard says about fit is true. For me after trying Arai AGV and so on, the one brand that fits best is SHOEI in a 58 size. Have yet to try a helmet that fits better....

@bigduphusaj162

4 ай бұрын

Yeah my mate has a Shoei only head. See even the older Arai Quantum F i had (maybe 1999) that is probably the most brow room of any Arai ever, he can just about sit with that on for a few minutes. Stick my RX7 on him and his brow basically does not fit it theres too much rake angle on the visor from a side perspective. Really weird because i like Shoei fit too but Arai and Shcuberth stay on my head better when wet so dont move side to side as much when im chucking lifesavers about all over the place. Were all different head shapes so is all subjective i suppose.
