Default Arai RX-7 GP Dani 1, love it!

I just managed to get hold of the helmet that I've lusted after some time now. Arai RX-7 GP Dani(Chaser V I presume it's called in the States).
I was just on a work mission in Greece last week, and before my job could be done I had some time to kill. For fun I just googled Arai importers in Greece, and found one amazing shop. Took the first taxi from Pireaus to Athens, and behold the holy grale!!! They all the models in the store..and also my helmet.
The price was with a dark smoked sheild 770EUR. The price was not that good, but because it was the helmet I had been looking for like the last 18 months, there was no doubt. I would have bought it anywas...

Very good looking lid! Better than that though, I like your bike sitting in the house on the hardwood floors. Not married, eh?! I think it's awesome.... my wife wouldn't stand for it.

Nice helmet. I'm more impressed that you're able to take the shots indoors too.

Trick is to do it before you get married with the stipulation the bikes stay.

I know a cop who has some 5 different bikes inside his house. One of them, some rare Ducati with only 17 miles on it, is their master bed's headboard. Harley is some huge entertainment center thing. Some Bonneville or Triumph is the upright legs for a bar table. He buys them, rides them home, and then makes furniture out of them.

His "latest" wife never says a word about it and I think she likes the attention the stuff gets. He got a "stipulation" about them beforehand having learned his lesson with the previous one.

Glas to hear you are doing your bit to support the Greek economy. Did you ask the shop owner if they are planning to pay any tax this year....?

Yea I didn't come to that, I know it's a sensitive subject for the Greeks, however I noticed that from when I lived 1 year in Pireaus in 2003, and until this time. You will even get a purchase reciept of all items you're buying in a shop/store/restaurant. Even the local "hole-in-the-wall" kebab fast food joints you will be getting the reciepts. I might suspect the Greek government to really be strict on company accountening policies now compared to last time I was there.
