I did it....so weak-willed am I....

I found this limited edition helmet online and just could not resist...  The look of this helmet is beautiful, based on Zeta Gundam's (機動戦士Zガンダム) Hyaku-Shiki (百式) mobile suit.

Once I found a way to get it, it took me less than 5 minutes to close my eyes and buy it.  Actually, it is a pre-order (the item is to be released March 09).  I am excited!!  I know that I will not wear it while I ride...it will be sitting pretty on my shelf with nice lights showcasing it to all my friends!!!!  :)
