In the 1950's to 1958  we wore a stupid heavy cork helmet (Cromwell) from England and a "T" shirt with whatever foot wear you liked best. The Cromwell did have very nice soft leather straps and belts and good buckles though. No one ever questioned my moccasins either. Not even long sleeves were required and seat belts were also optional for a long time.




Never be beaten by equipment.

In 1970, we wore helmets at gymkhanas in the Twin Cities.  Mine was a boat-racing-orange Bell 500TX with a 1968 Snell label.
