Well, it won't be rusty after I have restored it...
I woud ride a RP Honda Camino with pride. Would it have the OE basket on the front? I'm getting giddy at the thought. It's time to get on ebay and find a yellow piss pot helmet with peak and a nice kagoul to ride it in.
Rick, you can leave it rusty for me. Rusty old tat rules OK.

Here you go FR. Ok, it isn't yellow, but in terms of hideousness and complete lack of protection I think it fits the bill perfectly. I can see it now, recreating the scene from Top Gun, chasing a Nimrod down the runway on the Camino, I'd probably win.
If Rick's going to do it right, he'll need to source some s***ty old tartan PVC panniers too. I can't wait.

I actually had a few similar to this one, made in Portugal and homologated for Road Use.
Have a look:

The only open face helmet that didn't fly off at 150mph, it just stuck to my forehead.
I got nicknamed "Cannonball" due to this helmet.

Nice one Flat Racer. Bet your eyes watered a bit at 150mph! The thought of your lid flying off at that speed is a terrifying prospect. We might have to get Rick to detune the Camino a bit.

My NSU Quickly came with some lovely original red tartan panniers, I'm very proud of them  Looked like something had tried to build a nest in one of them though.....

Never mind the watering, I got a shiner from a massive bug, who commited suicide on my eye, I could swear that I could hear BANZAAAAAAAAAAAI!
I use goggles now and only inside town, bellow 40mph.
Yep, Rick might have to detune the Camino a tad. Those panniers should help to keep top speed down, especially with go slower tartan.

It'll go to some dork who doesn't want it.
Actually, I'm going to win it !
No you won't, the winner is, as ff said, lsome cnut who doesn't want or like it, or some git without a licence, who then gets a licence and doesn't want it.
At least let the EU residents enter.
Yeah!! we pay's our money,give us a chance!

| Yeah, let's have a go too! I would definitely keep the 'arris racer until my chiropractor says enough! And off course i would collect the price in England!
